JOY KICK!!

From John 16 (The Message):
23-24"This is what I want you to do: Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I've revealed to you. Ask in my name, according to my will, and he'll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks!

I am ready for what God has for me next!!

Reconstruct Me

Make me what YOU want me to be Lord!!

Norad Santa Tracking was COOL!!

I loved it...(even called the toll free number).

We took the kids to see a live nativity tonight...they really enjoyed the experience. I think it helped bring the reality of the Christmas Story to life for them.

Merry Christmas...God Bless!!

This is what I blogged about yesterday! Passion played out. Yeah.

The Clarke Brothers

1st Timothy 6-10You've been raised on the Message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now pass on this counsel to the followers of Jesus there, and you'll be a good servant of Jesus. Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion. Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart. This is why we've thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We're banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.

I love this scripture. I also loved the Clarke Brothers on Friday the 14th on Americas Next Great Band. Inspiring!!

larryunderwood.com and faithfulness

Hello all...I just purchased www.larryunderwood.com ...I currently am redirecting it here, in the future I'll switch over. I read Furticks blog today (like I don't every day), he had his "senior roadie" blogging---and it hit home!! Check it out here: http://www.stevenfurtick.com/uncategorized/lessons-from-a-roadie/

Enjoy!!

Deuteronomy 28:46-48 (The Message)

47-48 Because you didn't serve God, your God, out of the joy and goodness of your heart in the great abundance, you'll have to serve your enemies whom God will send against you. Life will be famine and drought, rags and wretchedness; then he'll put an iron yoke on your neck until he's destroyed you.

I'm on a Joy kick. I am also enjoying reading passages in The Message. My questions for tonight...? What defines my purpose? Am I allowing God to mold me for this purpose? ==Or even better, WHAT MOTIVATES ME?? Time to PRAY.

Processing Sunday

From Jonah 4: 1 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. 2 He prayed to the LORD, "O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."

This is Jonah's reaction to an entire city of 120,000 people repenting and turning toward God based on his cheesy 8 word sermon (see Chapter 3 vs. 4). He is really angry, actually hacked off that God had compassion on Ninevah. Wow. It really makes me realize how skewed our thought processes can be. My prayer is that if God could take a few of my words and change lives, that I would REJOICE. My family is working hard on one verse in particular from 1 Thessalonians: "Be joyful always." Without sounding too ridiculous, this is changing the lives of my 7,5, and 4 year old kids!! I LOVE it!!

Coffee is my friend!!

God is the center!! Enjoy the graphic.

Ugly Background (but I liked it...)

Here is a PPT or shout background. Most of these graphics are 1024*768 and will open larger if you click on them, then you can save them to your hard drive. If anyone has has any "special request"...I'd love to try. God Bless you all!!

Psalm 29

God is AWESOME!! I am becoming a bit more interested in the creation of graphics. Most of my post will incorporate my slow and steady attempt to learn various programs. Feel free to use any graphics posted on my blog as they are my free gift to you!!
