oops

I mixed up my text color by accident on these latest posts. Sorry, I'll try to fix it.

The devil is trying to kill me

I truly believe the devil is trying to utterly destroy me. The scriptures tell us that the devil is out to get us. 1st Peter 5:8 - Be sober,be vigilant;because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. So, you see; the devil is trying to kill me. He has declared open war on me. "Why?" you ask. I recently made a vow to serve God with all my might. I told the Lord that whatever He wanted me to do, I would do it. These were my exact words "Lord, please fulfill your will in my life;no matter what it is. Whatever you want, I want." You see, Satan heard me say that. Satan has been doing things to hurt me. The trick is, he makes it seem like God is picking on me. I'm glad to know that God does not play games with His children. Even though Murphy's law has been made manifest in my life over the last 30 days; I choose to trust God. I know God will deliver on time,(if He doesn't I'll go crazy)God never fails.

Another day with my Lord

When I woke up this morning God was still God. I am so glad our Lord never takes a break. If we are awake or asleep God is still God. As I continue to grow as a child of God, I seem to realize the more subtle things. As of late, I tend to seek the more personal side of God. Our Lord Is not an unreachable far off God;He is near to His people. God is our creator and we should reverence Him as such. God is not my buddy, He is my heavenly Father. I say this because too many times we treat God like one of the boys. God is not one of the boys..... God is holy. God loves us. Learn more of God. Read the Bible. Serve your King.

God is good

Do you know that God is good? If you just stop an look, you'll see how good our Lord is. God has done everything for us. God is the source of all our blessings. Give God Praise. He is worthy.

a wedding

Today we witnessed the marriage of Matthew Parrish & Megan Whitten. They were married at New Life FWB Church. The service began at 2:00 PM. When it was all said and done we had a new family beginning. We pray for God's blessing in their lives. Two have become one. Praise God!!!

No bad luck here

I don't believe in luck, good or bad. I believe God knows what is going to happen at all times. Even though I don't believe in "bad luck" I think Satan wants us to. "Why?" you ask. Well, it takes our eyes off God. If we chalk something up as luck, we take God out of the equation. Any way, listen to this. Strange things do seem to happen. Have you ever noticed that when you need to get somewhere in a hurry, you hit a road block? Or maybe you get behind slow traffic(even if there is never slow traffic in that area.) This happens to me all the time. Maybe you have similar occurrences. Listen to this one. For the second year in a row our oven has broken the week of Thanksgiving(very frustrating.) Last year it was our heating element. We got it fixed Wednesday(Thanksgiving eve.) This year I am still waiting for UPS to deliver my parts (Gonna be a close one, I'm getting very nervous.) Get this, about 10 minutes after the oven went out my washing machine quit(extremely frustrating.) By the way, the repair man for the washer can't get hear until at least Friday. "Bad luck"...... I don't think so . Oh well, God is still God, no matter what.......... I'm still blessed. At least we have an oven and a washing machine. To God be the glory.

Humble giver

I tell you this not to brag or gloat. Someone(I don't know who) put a nameless deposit receipt in our offering plate last Sunday. It was payment on our church mortgage in the amount of $190,000. That is a generous gift. This was given in secrete. What an act of humility. Since we don't know who did this, I'll try to give some credit here. These verses come to mind. Matthew 6:1-6. We may or may not ever know who did this, but I believe God will make it known for His glory. Regardless, the Lord saw it. May this be an example to all of us on how to be a humble giver.
