It takes Communication....

Well Hello all! The past two days have been something. But once again God has shown up...and out. I have been burdened something fierce...I thought the falls had fixed it...but I believe it just temporarily helped it.
I did however accomplish somthing today...Communication! To be there for our brothers in their time of need we must communicate with them. I can't blelieve how many arguments I could have saved if communicaion would have been present. As you Go on throughout your day please remember to communicate...a weight can and will be lifted if we remeber this simple thing. I leave you with these guidelines for communication:
1. loose the sarcasm.
2. Keep your problems within the two of you.
3. Bathe everything in prayer.
4. pray together...and for each other.
5. Dont let your past dictate your future!
I urge you again bathe every communucation within a friendship with prayer!
May God bless always!

A day that was very much needed!

Today was a much needed break...a time to think. I have been so aggravated and stressed out, that I have forgotten how amazing our God is! Stephany, Rachel, and I took a ride up to Triple Falls. We had finally reached the falls when a friend from school shows up. He proceeded to tell us of another Water Fall just on up the trail. We had no Idea what was in store. We walked forever!
This water fall was amazing. As stephany and I were taking pictures and laughing, I couldn't help but think of how great God is. I stood at a base of a great and mighty work of art that God created for anyone to enjoy. I looked up with the water spraying all over me thinking..."He can do all of this...but I cant trust Him with the trials of my life!"
I don't deserve a God like this...I don't deserve to be called a minister of the gospel...I don't deserve to sing praises to His Name. I am reminded of the Casting Crowns Song "In Me".
"When I'm weak, He makes me strong. When I am down He shines His light on me....I will never get by living on my own ability...How amazing to know you don't need me. But amazing to find you still want...I will stand for the truth and fight for the right till you bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me!"

I will leave you with this psalm...Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

Life's...Ocean's Waves, how they ever change.

It's so hard to sit back and listen...It's so hard to sit back and see. At times It feels that waves are crashing all around me. I fight and fight, but I cant get a breath. How long will I sink in this ocean we call life?
I thought my new venture in life was the device that I needed to survive and stay afloat. But just like the waves of the sea...things change. I know that I am still here for a reason. But how many more hits can one person take? Can one survive fighting a battle all on their own...NO! I feel that that is where I am...right know! I feel that I am reaching out and fighting for so many people...but where are they when I am in the eye of the storm. Where are they when things get rocky. So many times they are standing above me with rocks...tearing at the flesh I call my soul!
Father Teach me, Father forgive me, and father mold me into who you would have me to be...In thee I stand alone...Father Be my rock!

When the waves are crashing all around, remember
who created the storm! Stand firm, even if you
stand alone!

A New Day is Dawning!

I woke up this morning at a sorda peace. The need to conform to an underling rule, was no longer binding me. I have decided in my life...In whatever I do...I must seek to serve Him first. For so long I have tried to be of service of and to man...thinking I was doing my Christian duty...When in the end I was harming them and myself. As I begin this new outlook...I determine in my heart...to seek the face of Jesus...and everything else will fall into place.
I hope that this will encourage you as individuals to seek the approval of Jesus Christ...not the acceptance of man. May God richly bless you as you set out on this day...till we talk again!
