Just Pray

If we're honest, we can acknowledge the fact that we can really be lazy sometimes when it comes to praying. We rush through it like it's a chore, but we expect God to spend time on us; to constantly bless, heal and deliver us and our loved-ones.

Let's change our old habit, that we may have unknowingly slipped into, and begin to pray without ceasing. Let's offer prayers of thanksgiving as well as the petition prayers. When you can't think of anything else to pray for, pray for others; pray for other countries; pray for school systems; pray for children; just pray!

April Showers

Weeping (your rain) may endure for a night, but JOY (flowers) comes in the morning! The way the seeds need the rain to grow into flowers is the same way we have to shed a few tears to get to our Joy! Not everyone will understand you when things are (finally) looking up for you, but that's okay; as long as you're good!

Change Daily

I am so excited today! Why? Because we're here! We have, yet, another day to become the person we want to be; the person God designed us to be! Change is one of the greatest things we can do. It begins in our minds and in our daily routines.

If we commit to doing one thing differently daily, by the end of the year we will be amazed at the people we've become! It doesn't have to be something huge; it can be simple things like ironing your clothes at night, writing out a grocery list, taking the stairs, working on your passion for 10 extra minutes...anything! Let's just start...today!

Change Your Mind, Change Your Life!

Leave Me Alone

2 Timothy 4:16-17 
"At my first defense no one stood with me...But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me..."

Sometimes it is necessary for us to stand alone. The feelings of loneliness, desperation, abandonment and fear can draw us closer to God. The physical presence of our friends, church members, families, spouses, etc., is not the same as the Spiritual presence of the Holy Spirit. We must be aware of His presence. He will renew our strength and help us get through. God will encourage us to change our minds while we are in a state of loneliness. Those quiet times may be the only way He can get our attention.

Let's change the way we feel about being left alone by realizing that we are never truly by ourselves, as long as we call on God to stand with us!

Do it for the Vine!

Who are we doing whatever it is that we do for? Our bosses? Our families? Our friends? Or the Vine? No, not the new way to share and post videos, we're referring to the True and Living Vine, Jesus Christ. We are, simply quoted, "the branches." We must change our actions, our thought process and way of living if/since we're connected to the Vine.

John 15 New King James Version (NKJV)
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

Route 66 (Part 3)

^{Just hang in there a little while longer; we're almost there! We know it doesn't feel good to go through, but what an amazing feeling it is when we come out! To God be the glory. Just keep moving and keep pressing. We will pass this test and come out fully refined.
 
Psalm 66:10-12}
For You, O God, have tested us;You have refined us as silver is refined.You brought us into the net; You laid  affliction on our backs.You have caused men to ride over our heads;We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
