True Love

Jesus, please seek me and stop my words if any glorification of the flesh is upon me.  I pray that you and you alone are glorified through my writing.  Thank you Father.  You are the Living God and your Word is the Living Word.  To you be all the Glory, thank you Jesus, our Heart of Hearts and our Mind of Minds.  I love you too.

Trials and Tribulations – Count it all Joy

James 1:12
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has
stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised
to those who love him.” James 1:12

I find that when outward situations arise, if they are viewed from the eyes of the Spirit, things are Counted as all Joy. Read more…

Rock of Ages

(Updated below)

Monday night, bible study group, in Flint… We sing hymns before we start our studies.  We pull up #465: Rock of Ages.  Here’s the lyrics – Read more…

Balloons from the Lord

I met a homeless family this week, and after noticing they were Christians, I let them know I’ll be praying for them.  As I said this, I was looking into the eyes of one of the children and I could see/feel the worry in her.  The other older child also had this look.  It cut through to my soul.  Last night, I asked the Father to use me today in order to bring a smile to the faces of the children.  I prayed and asked for Him to show me a way.  I was thinking maybe candy or something, but I didn’t know, and left it in His hands to work through me.

Corrections from Father God

I find it awesome how God corrects me w/ His gentleness.  It’s like a spank on the butt.  Many times throughout the week, things will happen such as dropping something, knocking over a glass, stubbing the toe, a bump on the head, etc.  When these things happen, I evaluate what I was thinking at the time, and it has always been something I shouldn’t have been thinking.

A week or so ago, I was wheeling the garbage out to the end of the driveway.  My thoughts were going down a path that they should not have been going.  Read more…
