Walking in love is a very challenging walk to walk in. But, it is a very rewarding walk! I am constantly working on myself. My current challenge is trying to walk in love in everything that I do. Glorifying God in everything you do is hard, and honestly virtually impossible. We are human and we sin every day. There is no way around it. Sometimes the harder we try to make things right, and to praise the Father, and glorify Him, the harder it gets. Satan is very much so alive, and he tries in every way to get between our heavenly Father's messengers. We have to remind him constantly that we are with our Father, and he needs to get out of our way.

You can't please the ones that you love. You can't please Him without faith. And, if faith work'eth by Love and your not operating in Love, where does that leave you?

If love and faith are not active there is no pleasure in the relationship.

If our heart is right in our relationship, then we will want them to do the things that we need.

God see's your heart.
If you are not serving the Lord because you want to, because you love Him, because you are willing to, because you are glad to, because of your faith, because of believing it is pleasing to Him..
He doesn't want it..
He won't receive it!!

Give with a heart that wants to give.
Serve the Lord with gladness!!

Sweet Jesus..

Sweet Jesus..

Ephesians 6:10  

♥ 

Lord, I pray that your will be done today.

We know that no matter what the outcome you will be glorified.

Let his mama be at peace when the surgery is complete

If it is in your will, Father, please let this mama hold her baby alive and well again.

I know you have a plan, and Lord I know you know best. 

Your plan is perfect.

I just ask that you help this family be at peace with your plan.

♥

The Lord gives strength to His people; The Lord blesses his people with peace.                

Psalm 29:11

Amazing Grace

How sweet the sound

that save a wretch

like me

I once was lost

but now am found

was blind

but now I see

Twas grace that taught

my heart to fear

and grace my fears relieved

how precious did

that grace appear

the hour I first believed

Through many dangers toils and snares

I have already come

T'is grace hath brought

me safe thus far

and grace will lead me home

When we've been there

ten thousand years

bright shining as the sun

we've no less days

to sing God's praise

than when we first begun

Grace, Grace

God's grace

grace that will pardon and cleanse within

grace, grace

God's grace

grace that is greater than all our sins..

<3

..grace can..

It was through the grace of God that we can be saved today. God is awesome, and I am reminded of it everyday.

Especially during this season of fall. All the leaves are dieing, but you know.. God has a special way of making death beautiful. Just as when one of his children die, we can rejoice knowing they are only going to see him. They aren't dieing, they are getting a new body. When the leaves die, they die such a beautiful death. We get to watch all the pretty colors as they change during fall.

I am reminded everyday that God never fails. Here lately things seem to be in the way, and a new obstacle occurs everyday. But, the Lord is always near, and he never leaves me alone. His hand seems to grab mine, when I need him most, and He leads me through the waters.

I am forever thankful for His unending love!

God is good!

God is great!

His love is awesome! And I have been given the chance to proclaim it!!

Hallelujah!

innocent love

GOD WILL NEVER leaver you empty.

If something is taken away,

He will replace it with something better.

If He denies your request in a certain area, 

it is because He wishes          

      

                    to give you what is best

If He asks you to put something down,

it is so you can pick up something greater.

The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs...

You will be like a well-watered garden,

like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:11

Prayer works..

Please pray for this sweet baby boy.

Please Pray for Stellan

Stellan needs prayer. His little body is working so hard, and is so stressed from this bout of SVT. The SVT started sometime yesterday, and ended in him being intubated, and sedated late last night. Please pray for this sweet baby, and his family.

Here is an update from his mommy's blog this morning:

- How gracious He will be when you cry out for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you.

Isaiah 30:19

God is truly amazing

Ecclesiastes 3:11 <3

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." 

                          - Ecclesiastes 3:11 

 

I had the privilege of witnessing the wedding of my wonderful friend Alyssa.

I pray that these two lovely children of God...

will submit their relationship unto the Lord...

and grow together as one unto the Father!

 

Amen!

Just believe..

"Don't be afraid; just believe."

-Mark 5:36

Sometimes it is so hard to just believe. Life can be so jumbled and confusing. It's so easy to get caught up in your everyday life, and stress, that we often put God aside. We don't always realize we are doing this.

I am guilty!

I have to remind myself, that I am not perfect, but that if I will seek God's will... my life will be easier in many ways.

It's so easy when we get distracted with life to think of all the negative possibilities, and fall for Satan's ways...

Don't let Satan blow it out!

I continually have to remind myself to seek God's approval. Sometimes it is hard to continually involve God in every aspect of our lives.. But, we should...

because, He deserves to be involved in every decision.. moment.. and thought in each of our lives...

As each day goes by.. I am learning more and more how precious my time with God really is. He is truly amazing.. and I love him more each and every day!

There is no one like our God!
