Something New

 

New Facebook Cover..

Yeah, so I got bored. 

 

However what a great word of truth I was reminded today.

 

 

"Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done."

-Psalm 105:1

~7 Years by My Side~

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 7

 

        Years ago today I married the Love of my life. We have been blessed here on earth with two great children and one who waits in Heaven. We have also been blessed to have been able to foster and parent many children over the years who have all impacted our lives one way or another. Life has not always been roses however With Christ at the center of our marriage and family we find our joy in Him not in the worldly things we have or don't have.

     At different times in our lives we have had a song that has become the Theme song of that Chapter in life we are currently in and here is the list of Songs that have made that list over the 7 years:

Your Grace Still Amazes Me -By Phillips, Craig & Dean

Bless The Road - By Rascal Flatts 

Everlasting God - By  Brenton Brown

Blessed be the Name of the Lord -By Matt Redman

Your Love never Fails - By Jesus Culture

10,000 Reasons - By Matt Redman 

 

This photo is of the Bible that Debbie's Father preached out of during our wedding. After the wedding he gave us the Bible with our names on it and he left all his notes in it for us to find later.

This photo is the heart of where we wanted to start our marriage. Its not about me but about Christ. Powerful and humbling experience.

To many more..

God's At Work!

I love this photo not only does it show Christ protecting us but how we miss the larger picture that God is at work even when it seems like He is not. How Great is our God!

Power of Prayer

Here is a short post mostly for the reason I am on my iPad and just not in the mood to write much. But while thinking today I have had my mind on the power of prayer. And how great prayer is. On of the best book I have read on prayer and one that is in my list of top books is The Circle Maker. I have talked about this book many times over the past year and if you look over the past year you will find post I have done on just that one book. But anyway back to the topic I want to hit home here. The power of prayer. Some many times in my life I have seem prayer work and no that didn't always come out the way I was thinking or even always the way I would have liked however there Is power in prayer. I have been blessed to see lives changed, people healed and families healed due to prayer. Even now during this time I am praying and circling things in prayer. One of the greatness things I love about prayer is be able to stand still and listening to what Christ wants to say through His Word and for my life. I will post more on this later. I love this topic on prayer. God is Godd \o/

Happy Mothers Day!

Powerful Photo

I found this the other day online and had to save it. I found it to be a statement very powerful.

"But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.  Hear this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right;  who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness."

-Micah 3:8-10

Lost in Time

It's been a few weeks from my last post and that I am sorry for. Please forgive me to all my readers. A lot has happened over the past few weeks however God has done a work in our lives and we are trusting His path for us over the next few weeks. While we currently start seeking where God wants us we seek His path to our next place of Ministry. Lord willing over the next month I will slowly start writing daily and weekly again. Thanks for hanging on and I am sure to get back on track. Join me in Prayer as we seek the next place of Ministry God has in store for our lives.

In His Grip,
