Reach out for God's Strength & Love

Oh Lord! How amazing you are and how unfaithful I am. Please forgive me for my sins. ...you have already forgiven me long ago when you died on the cross. Thank-you for your grace.

How do I know the difference between your grace and mercy? When do you show me grace? When do you show me mercy?

I choose to live for you! To serve you and to glorify YOUR NAME. How is it then, that I allow distractions. Lord, we are blessed beyond reason and still we fight evil everyday.

Lord we pray you continue to give us the strength to fight every battle. May we remember you truth & promises. May we never forget who you are. 

For you are MIGHTY, AWESOME, VICTORIOUS AND LORD OVER ALL!

May we trust you in all circumstances.
May we surrender our whole life to you.
May we choose to obey you.

"All praise to God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. when they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation. For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our suffering you will also share in the comfort God gives us." 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (NLT)

May we desire God out of LOVE! Not out of a desire to feel no pain or out of fear. Instead, receive STRENTH, ENCOURAGEMENT AND HOPE!

Become more like Christ.

Who is Christ? How do we get to know him? Seek the truth. Trust in His word. Let's not doubt anymore. Take the step of faith. Believe.

Let's continue to draw people closer to God.

Let's grow in our faith.

Let's be faithful to God and serve only Him.

Let's REACH OUT with God's love always-

...because we never know the story behind the person.

Live life and share the JOY of God's Love!

...because its Real, Real Love!

How do we shine?

Here is one of my responses to the conference I just went to called Pursuit 2015 at Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs!

How do we shine Gods light when it seems so dark? 

This is a question I gathered through some thinking. Thinking about how the world seems and yet, remembering it is the world God made! 

With that, He alone is the ALPHA & OMEGA, the BEGINNING AND END!

*okay, now you are going to catch a glimpse of my personality with my next point...

Forever is really forever- ...so when we sing forever, He is glorified and lifted up, He is RISEN! IT'S ACTUALLY FOREVER!

It's the truth, stand on the rock- the foundation- the cornerstone. 

So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22 NLT)

It is his LOVE that overcomes all fear, shame, brokenness, lost and confused.

...and that is why we praise him and sing Hallelujah!

Seriously! Pursue God! He is Everything!

So when you feel like you are at the end...reach for God! (Photo taken at the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs!)
