Answered prayers

I never fully understand where in the moment I may be, why some things God let happen. I believe completely that every event or encounter, gives us a choice of reactions. And those reactions make us who we are.

Looking back on many of these mayor events and encounters. I see how God was right there threw it all... During the events and encounters I mostly didn't see God leading my way. But looking back I smile and rejoice. Cause I'm a blind, lost and foolish sheep but the Good Shepard watched over me and still does. Even though I don't see or feel him, like I'd like or once did. But I hold on to the moments I did.

My heart was burden and broken and now my prayers are answered. The only unanswered ones I'm just trusting God to answer at the right time. Not mine...

The Great Commission

I live in America, the Land of the Free.

This Country was founded on Christian Values and a Law from the inspiration of the Bible.

The trails of our founding fathers went through to make this country. And how God's control over this and all the ways I find his control over so much astounds me.

God gave us a free will to live free.

America has lost its way, or maybe it has long ago, or maybe it never was on the exact right track, but I'd like to think so. :)

As Americans the wealthiest nation in the world, we became comfortable with our easy lives and distracted from what matters with social interactions, social status, Tv series, Drama, Gossip, Sex, Money and living for the moment.. ..

Many of these in my list are idols, hidden to some. And americans are fascinated by this list and consume their lives into it. So much that it may be their life or their God. When someone doesn't have something to fill them are they not willing to be filled with a God who loves them? Maybe but I'd say that they would be more likely than someone has found their God in my list described earlier.

So in knowing the God of the Universe and everything in it. I consider it a challenge to be in a country that doesn't know or want to know "how badly it Needs God." Some people are wise enough to know their is a emptiness and are trying to fill it with anything. And may even think they find it and find brief happiness. But God offers his love and Everlasting Joy through his Son who took all of our sin, death and pain on himself in our place.

We are not perfect and we were damned by our first little sin, But his Grace is enough to cover all of our sin if we just put our trust in the Savior who saves, Jesus. God came to earth and lived as a man with the power of the holy spirt, "the third part of the trinity, God three in one". Shown he was the Son of God, Revealed so much to us and told us it was time for his death multiple times before. And knew of his disciples future failures and still loved them and died for us all, without sin or fault, unlike all of us of many sins and faults. But it did not End with his death! For as he had said on the third day he rose from the Dead and stayed with his disciples for forty days. Then left to heaven telling them not to leave Jerusalem, till they were filled with the holy spirt. Once they were empowered they were on the great Commission to tell the world this good news that Jesus came and died for them.

Now two thousand years later many have heard and forgotten How our Savior loves us and what he has done for us. We've turned to our sinful desires and fallen away and maybe don't even know it. America is the largest english speaking mission field and it will be a challenge, but hasn't that shown God's faith in us, in America?

Just trying to tell myself this as much as you. And I know it is long but that has been on my heart of late. Sorry it is long, hope it made you think a little.. ..

-Now out of these Faith, Hope and Love remain and the greatest of these is Love.

Song of the Month August 2011

You Are More

Tenth Avenue North

&

Healing Begins

Tenth Avenue North

This life we live in is not what we are here for,

There 'IS' a reason of existance and we were created,

There 'IS' a God who loves loves us dearly,

This dear love was so real..

Philippians 2

⁶ Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷ rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
⁸ And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

He did this because "You Are More!"

So let the "Healing Begin."

-Sorry for being a day late

Always by his Grace

Joy

May always my heart rejoice through every

sickness,

toil,

pain,

stress,

discomfort and

all evil that builds up against me.

For Nothing, can separate me from Your Love.

My strong Fortress that will never leave or never Change. Nor close it's gates to me or anyone who believes and asks to be called a Child of God. ^_^

My little reminder.

On the way home from work I noted the new power line post they installed and thought that now I have a reminder every day, I drive by that new post, of the God who keep me safe on that crazy morning. :)

Love and Trust,

The Beast

I've had a long week and I've been sick but it has been important for me to keep working to try to make money to invest into my future. This morning I woke up coughing about 2ish and couldn't get back to sleep so I turned on the x-box and just enjoyed some time on it. My alarm went off and I kept on the x-box to try to quickly finish what I was working on. I was pushing my time to leave and I rushed out the door like most early mornings lately. I crested the second hill and lost control and over turned to get back on course and broke through a fence then knew I was in trouble and I thought to myself, "Idiot." then I hit the dirt wall and my back end flew back twisting around taking out a power line and ending in a fence. I turned off the truck and threw a small praise heavenward. Called my mother then my boss to tell him I was going to be late. My drivers door wouldn't open so I climbed out the window. To see the road directly behind me to my surprise and I wasn't where I thought I was. but I stayed on the truck cause I knew I took out the power line by looking around me. I wasn't harmed at all thrown around a lot. The truck is totally, totaled and today hasn't gone well. But there are blessings all around. :) Like my own Guardian Angel.

Isaiah 40:28-31

²⁸ Do you not know?

Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

-Yours the Beast
