Your Will Not Mine!

Do you every wonder if the way you spend your time is pleasing to God?  Lately I have been puzzled by the way I spend my time.  Everything we do in life should serve one purpose.  To bring glory to him.  If your involved in ministry, is it for your glory or his?  If you belong to a club is it to make you feel better or is it to glorify our Father?  If you have a hobby is it to make you happy or to make our Savior happy?  Many times I find myself boasting in my ministry instead of his glory.  Many times I find myself addicted to the self fulfillment of service instead of his love.  I pray that he will fill my heart with an over abundance of his love… his glory…  his presence…  Then I can truly say “ your will in every part of my life and never mine”!  

James 4:4-6

I Love You!

His Dream For Us!

We never know when it will happen.  We try to orchestrate it, but it must come naturally. It happens to me more, as I live deeper in the spirit.  I have a better understanding what it is… when it comes into being.  When unmatched beauty brings tears.  When being in the presence of God created…

Praying Hard!

How hard do you pray?   She struggled to come into this world.  After being late she had a rough birth and time in the neonatal intensive care unit was a must.  Our daughter was born with complications. Holding her meant a fight with wires, with machines, with gowns, with masks.  As I got home…
