Sweet Dreams

Surrendering our dreams to GOD is probably the hardest thing to do. They are our dreams right? Not GODs. Since it is my dream i want to control what happens. GOD does have a tendency to not do things my way. The problem is we might can control the dream but we can't control the world. GOD can. The world will throw things at us that may rip our dreams to shreds and we cant do anything about it. GOD can. Our dreams may turn to nightmares right before our eyes and we can do nothing to stop it. GOD can. If we hand our dreams over to GOD well... HE can.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge HIM,
and HE shall direct your paths.

and

Proverbs 20:24
A mans steps are of the LORD;
How then can a man understand his own way?

Intimate Worship

What more exciting thing is there than to worship our GOD?! To lift our praise to HIM? Its magnificent!! Why is it then that at church on Sunday i only see a handful of people really worship? I don't mean you have to be all dancing in the isles but really HE created us, HE loves us!! GOD deserves more than a halfhearted worship!! When i worship GOD i forget that I'm in church with a bunch of people; its just HIM and me! This happens when you worship HIM from your heart. If you will put aside all your fears and worries for a few seconds and really tell HIM you love HIM then you'll forget about everything else. Why? Because then you will feel an amazing thing!! You see GOD is there when we go to church. Sometimes though we overlook HIM. But once you find HIM you will never want to leave. There is a song called I Could Sing Of YOUR Love Forever if you will begin to sing then you will want to sing forever.

Today i challenge you that when you get church this morning or Wednesday or whenever you go next that you will sit in the very back where you don't have to worry about people seeing you (if you want go ahead and sit in the front it doesn't matter its just easier in the back) and for one minute lift your hands and sing to GOD! HE is there and HE will hear your praise!
Good luck and i love yall

Over the mountains and the sea
Your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart
And let the Healer set me free

I’m happy to be in the truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing of when Your love came down

I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever
I could sing of your love forever

Oh I feel like dancing
It’s foolishness I know
But when the world has seen the Light
They will dance with joy like we’re dancing now

Scripture Memorization

Dont be turned off by the title of this post. Lately, I have been very disappointed when people have started talking about a subject, and I know its in the Bible, but i dont remember where. School, and songs are always a good thing to learn and memorize, but think how precious the Scriptures should be to us as Christians. It is what we base our faith on, what we hope and believe in. Because we have the Scriptures we have information about Jesus, early Christians, and practical life proverbs, however do we really take time to read it. Yes, some people now the lyrics to the top 20 songs in on itunes but they dont even pick up their bible!. Some people even read it, but dont really pay attention to it. Yes , im talking to those of us "me included" that are reading with our ipods on, or while we are talking to someone, texting, etc just so we can "get it done for the day" and check it off our what i should do list. So, I say start with Proverbs, these are some of the best lessons you will ever learn. Read one chapter a day, it should take less than five minutes. If you dont have five minutes, read one verse, you can not honestly tell me you dont have 20 seconds now can you? Jot down passages that are helpful and memorize them. You never now when you will need them.
