Lord, thank You for Your Word. Thank You for the treasures that are hidden within its pages. While I want to be blessed in this life, please help me to remember what really matters. Please help me to never focus so much on the here and now, that I forget my final destination. I pray that You not only bless me now, but teach me to store up my eternal blessings and treasure FIRST. Help me to see others the way that You do, and to never put material possessions or desires first place in my heart. Help me to use my time wisely and never take it for granted. Teach me, Lord, and help me to never forget that my life is not my own, it is Yours, and for Your glory! I love You, Lord. Thank You for all that You are and all that You do for me each and every day. You alone are worthy of ALL glory honor and praise! In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. … [Read more...]
The Daily – No One…
The Word of God is filled with hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. I find my time with the Lord an adventure these days. It is like some great expedition to find new worlds--only, I am seeking comfort, answers and aid for my daily life. I am thrilled to tell you that my God has yet to let me down in my search.

It came alive in my heart as I realized that during my trip to self pity land--never once did the Lord let go of His loving grip on me. Not once. No one--not even our own flaws, doubts, and failures can snatch us out of the Loving hands of our Mighty God. NO ONE! NO ONE can undo the work He has done and begun in us. No one! Not … [Read more...]
The Daily – She Did
Yesterday, I shared with you my struggle with trusting God with my money. I also told you I would share a story that had such a profound affect on me, I am still moved to tears as I think about it... One of our pastors shared a video from a missionary in Africa with us before offering recently. It was about SO MUCH MORE than money though! I tried to find the actual video Online to share with you and could not. I have left messages for a few people at church to find it, so when I do, I will post it here for you to see with your own eyes. In the mean time, I will share the story I saw. Before I begin, please understand, again, this story has really nothing to do with money. It has to do with priorities and our true purpose as children of the Almighty and Living God! To be honest, my eyes normally glaze over a bit during the offering portion of service. It seems monotonous. However, this was so very different. It was a video documentary of a particular woman in Africa who found … [Read more...]
