One day

Someone finally volunteered to help with the blog . . . and three months later i have yet to get around to showing them what to do.  go figure.  so i am very sorry for not keeping this up to date or showing someone else how to keep it up to date.  one day ill get it done . . . one day

Whom Shall You Fear?

yet again i have nothing to post about go figure.  Guess ill reveal another of my favorite verses =P.

I, the LORD, have called YOU in righteousness, And will hold YOUR hand:I will keep YOU and give YOU as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles.

~Isaiah 42:6~

And will hold your hand.  there are multiple instances in the bible that state GOD will hold your hand and guide you.  remember this today when something comes up that you are afraid of doing.  GOD is holding your hand whom shall you fear?  I am not afraid of death, because i know GOD will be with me here on earth and i will be with HIM for eternity after.  I am not afraid of the dark, because i know GOD is with me.  I am not afraid of pain, because i know GOD is with me through it holding my hand, that i can squeeze as hard as i want, and that HE, who died on the cross, can understand what i am going through.  I am not afraid of Satan, because i know with GOD at my side Satan is powerless against me.  I am truly afraid of one thing, and that one thing can open the way to all other fears.  I am afraid of walking away from CHRIST, not that HE will leave me but that i will leave HIM.  and without HIM i am afraid of everything.  

What are you afraid of?

Easy Peasy

GOD never said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it.

How many times have we heard that?  And it's true.  HE never did say it would be easy.  But you know what else HE never said?  That it wouldn't be easy.  Sometimes i find that i'm afraid to ask GOD for help because i fear that it will be harder to do it with HIS help than without.  How silly is that?  But that is what we are taught.  That it wont be easy.  And because of that we get the mind set that it is harder to follow GOD than to not.  How wrong we are!  Is it easier to climb over the mountain by yourself or with someone by your side?  What we are really seeing is the valley that leads the other direction.  It would be much easier to follow the valley than climb the mountain.  but the valley doesn't take us where we want to go.  So yes it is harder to follow GOD than to not, but we wont get where we want to be if we don't.  But don't be fooled into thinking it will always be hard.  HE never said that.  Sometimes it might just be that easy, but you'll never know until you start the journey.  

Love yall,

Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Another one of my favorite verses:

Isaiah 43:1b-3a

"Fear not for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name;

You are MINE.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

And through the rivers,

They shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire,

You shall not be burned,

Nor shall the flame scorch you.

For I am the LORD your GOD,

The HOLY ONE of Israel,

Your SAVIOR."

We are HIS!  Even when flooded by the worries of this life HE will not forsake us!  

this may have been just what you needed to hear today or you might know someone who needs to hear that.

let us know how it impacts your life!

we love to hear from you

love yall and keep safe

God Buffet

I love to eat at buffets!  Especially Chinese buffets.  Just thinking about all the different choices makes my mouth water.  The best thing is, i don't have eat anything i don't like... 

Who is GOD?  Many people might say that HE is good or kind.  1 John 4:8 and 16 says "GOD is love".   Some people believe that GOD is simply the "Great Clock-winder" and others believe that HE is an angry God.  If you read only a few chapters of the Bible the amount of descriptions for God is overwhelming.  It is from this "God Buffet" that we pick and choose the characteristics of our god*.  we each have our own tastes and thoughts about who GOD is and what HE is like.  We try to create the CREATOR.  its like a make your own god* factory.  As ridiculous as it sounds its something we all try to do.  But GOD can not be molded to our liking.  As HE says to Moses "I AM who I AM." 

I encourage you today to take a look at the ingredients in your god* and then check out the Bible to see what GOD is really like.  remember you cant just exclude the stuff you don't want, GOD is who HE is.
Id love to hear what Scripture tells you about GOD!  leave a comment (by clicking the word 'comments' below the post) and feel free to make use of the handy little Anonymous name tag.
