American Dream, Really?

Good morning and happy Friday if you haven't seen interviews with Minn. Congress woman Michele Bauchman, you've got to YouTube her. This is really who they chose to represent them? It just made me take a look at our country as a whole and see how we've just settled for how it is. We just go along and no one really stands up for the things wrong in our government. The old days were full of protests about even the smallest of stuff. Complacent is the word for today. And we're doing it to God too. We don't stand up for Him anymore. We've let all this happen. We're just concerned with our own dreams. The "American" dream. Live and let live just as long as a get mine. Without God nothing can be done. Oh it may get built or finished and look like it's done, but it won't stand the test of God. They're winning in the battle to remove Him from here. We are letting them. And it's letting because we know who wins in the end. Stand up for God from this day on. Be involved in the daily things as well as the nation things. Let's get Him back running the country and see if we don't get some change. In love always. <><

God"s Bungee Jump

Good morning and happy Thursday. If you were gonna bungee jump, how many cords would you want put together to hold you?  Most of us would say more than enough. But the guys in charge are pretty smart and know the business they're in pretty well and for you to have the best experience, they know just how many to put together for your size. The experience is what you're paying for. The thrill of it all. The bungee company wants the same thing for you too. That's repeat business. Playing it safe and not letting go of the control of the jump would not be worth the time or the effort. Life is the same too and in life God is in control and He has just the right amount of cords bound together for you to survive the jump of life He has put together for you. Trust Him to do what He has promised. Trust Him to not lead you astray. Playing life safe and not sharing His word and doing His work is not the plan He has for you. Take His leap of faith and see what kind of life He has for you. It's really more fun than you think. Embrace Him and His plan for you. Just like the cords at the bungee jump, it's not the same as your neighbors. Take your own jump. In love always. <><

Family Time

Good morning and happy Wednesday. Family, our biggest ties in life. Mom, dad, I'm sorry I haven't been around as much to see you. To my brothers the same. It's funny how we don't realize what we're doing to people we love until it's being done to us. There's not any intentions of doing wrong to someone, most of the time. But it's been a while since I sat down with my girls just to be with them. And it hit me that I've done the same thing to my own parents. We're all too busy with life. So knowing how I feel in this shell of a man's body, I wonder how I'm making God feel by not spending more time with Him. Family surely is worth my time. I need to do better. God is definitely worth my time and I have to do better. He has to be first, and then one day we will have all the time we want to spend together. But in the mean time, family time is a great time. In love always. <><

Not of This World

Good morning and happy Tuesday. All the blogs and twitters and other forums have just been full of a question that is asked so many times. It's not spelled out plainly as this but it is being asked, "Where is God in all of this?". The Anthony case and Josh Hamilton's deal. Well the answer is simple, He's right there. We will never really see the good that comes from those events, but there will be some. A family is mended and hearts changed by the mere seeing of these things and beginning to feel. We get upset about all this because we forget this is not our home. We're like puppies in a cage waiting to be picked up and taken home. God took them home to a better place. I don't wanna leave until He's ready for me to. I've got some work to do here first I know. But I take great comfort in the fact the my Father is right here with me all the time. I can feel Him, I can hear Him, I can see Him in all the world by the things He has done. He's right here with us and if we let Him, He's right there inside of us. He's with Josh and Cooper. He's with Casey and her family. Caylee and Shannon are with Him now. He is amazing. In love always. <><

God's Got It

Good morning and happy Monday. When you find yourself alone in a desert of life, don't we always seem to be able to find God. He's always with us. And when no one else seems to be there or get it, He is and He does. What token then, of appreciation do we show Him in return? Usually we can't make the time for Him. We forget shortly after the crisis and go right back to the way we were doing things before. The purpose of the crisis that lead us to our desert was to learn and grow from the errors we were making before. We have to see these as opportunities for our growth and more reliance on Him. Instead of a slogan of " I got this" it needs to be "He's got this". Let Him have those things and then you can have more time with Him and grow a deeper relationship. Gratitude and thankfulness is how we should feel when we find ourselves in the green pastures. When we reach that point the desert isn't as bad as it once was. Spend more time with Him everyday. In love always. <><
