A SON’S MOTHER’S DAY WISH

May 13, 2012 in Uncategorized with 0 Comments

O the things I would say to my mother on mother’s day:

I would tell her thank you for being willing to be a mother in the first place, because today women have the choice; in the face of that choice, going through the pain of raising me, I would give her a hug to remember.

I would tell her sorry for all of the things I ever did to make her life more difficult.

I would share my thoughts and dreams with her so she knew I wouldn’t waste the gift of life God gave me through her.

Most importantly, I would tell my mother one more time, I love you mom.

O the things I would say to my mother on mother’s day.

If she wasn’t with the Lord.

Don’t wait until you mom is in heaven to tell her all of these things! Saying “Happy Mother’s Day” is the scripted thing to do and it’ll certainly be met with an equally rehearsed response. This Mother’s Day I would encourage you to recapture a relationship with your mom and have a real conversation because one day, she’ll be in heaven and although she can hear you; you won’t be able to hear anything more than the faint voice trapped in the memories of her.

To all mother’s everywhere, we thank God for you because you answer the divine call of motherhood and for that alone we are forever indebted to you. God Bless You and have a wonderful Mother’s day!

6 YEAR OLD SON WITH PALSY WALKS FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN HIS USMC DAD RETURNS FROM DEPLOYMENT: TEARS ARE GUARANTEED

May 11, 2012 in Miracles with 1 Comment

The Mom explains on the Welcome Home Blog:

“When my husband left on his deployment, our 6-year-old son could not walk on his own. He has cerebral palsy. Doctors originally said that he would never walk or do much of anything. While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!”

-Melissa C.

The only thing I can say is God shows His love in the most amazing ways. If this video blessed you today. PASS IT ON! Share it with someone, everyone who may need a reminder of how good God is today!

WHAT JESUS WANTS YOU TO KNOW – PART 2

May 10, 2012 in Purpose with 0 Comments

He has a plan for you!

Yes, you! He has charted a course in the stars with your name on it; a destiny that is meant for you. Your purpose is uniquely woven into time and space by God himself. It certainly wasn’t by mistake that you are here right now, in this day.

How do I know you have a specific destiny? The Bible tells me so!

Jeremiah 29:11 says: For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Continue Reading…

WHY WAS JESUS’ FIRST MIRACLE TURNING WATER TO WINE, DID HE WANT US ALL TO GET DRUNK?

May 9, 2012 in Faith with 0 Comments

You’ve heard the story of the first miracle; Jesus turns water into wine…right? Truthfully, I never really paid much attention to this story because I thought it was a great parlor trick, an understatement of Christ’s power. But today, I was listening to my Bible (faith comes by hearing, not necessarily reading) and as I heard this story play out in John 2, it became clear to me why this story is told.

First let’s take a look at the two elements described, the first is water. Water is considered pure; it sustains our existence in this world. Without water we will die! And it is the same with Christ; He is pure and without Him we will perish. John 3:16 comes to mind “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will never perish but have eternal life”. One sustains our physical life, while the other our eternal life. Continue Reading…

GOD THE RULER VS. GOD THE FATHER

May 8, 2012 in Faith with 0 Comments

There is a spiritual battle taking place all around us in the realm that we can’t see with our physical eyes, but it is raging. The fight isn’t over us or our souls it’s a fight to discredit God and to make Him out to be what he’s not.

Our enemy is cunning using tactics that we could never predict. He convinces us, even me, that the fight is superficial by eroding prayer in schools or preventing a boy from wearing a Jesus shirt. But it is the distraction from his real purpose. Continue Reading…

HOW WOULD JESUS TREAT A HOMOSEXUAL?

May 7, 2012 in Love with 5 Comments

WARNING: What I’m about to say is likely to offend some, so if you’re easily offended … stop reading this post right now! I want to make it clear right up front, I’m neither promoting homosexuality, nor gay marriage or anything of the kind…. But!

The Bible in the Old Testament is clear that homosexuality is a sin. There is no way around that fact; there isn’t any dispute about it, but there is this odd place that many Christian leaders continue to find themselves at, over the issue of homosexuality and gay rights.

The Pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, Joel Osteen is regularly asked if homosexuality is a sin. Oprah, Pierce Morgan and even Chris Wallace all ask him, every time he appears on their shows. Continue Reading…

STUCK AT A CROSSROAD? WHAT TO DO IF YOUR ARE!

May 4, 2012 in Purpose with 0 Comments

I have to be completely honest, I hate when I come to a crossroad in my life and I look right, then left and I don’t know which direction to take. I generally struggle with patience and being stuck, for me, is purely agonizing, but I’ve found myself there repeatedly. Have you ever been there?

I know you it’s a rhetorical question, but it makes me feel less alone by asking it.

Of course we’ve all been there because it’s a human experience to feel lost, especially when you’re trying to uncover that perfect plan that God has for your life. It’s at those moments that we (at least I do) try to “solve” the problem or figure out what we’re supposed to do.

There are times when I find myself sitting for hours on end, trapped in my own thoughts of “what if’s”. What if I do this or what if I do that? I can only tell you that the outcome is more confusion not more clarity. But it sure was an expenditure of time that I could’ve spent on something much more productive like my kids.

Jesus Wants You To Know – Part 1

April 19, 2012 in Faith with 1 Comment

Just in case you didn’t know …. Jesus loves you just the way you are, not the way you could be and not because of the way you were. He loves the you, you are right now and He wants you to know that He doesn’t think any less of you because of what you’ve done wrong today, because you’ve already been forgiven for all those things you’ve done wrong or will do wrong.

How do I know?

Why would a God who wants to force you to worship Him send His only son to be beaten, battered and bruised and in the end willingly crawled onto a cross to have make Himself forsake His son if he didn’t love you and me from the deepest recesses of His being?

It isn’t possible because such a sacrifice requires a love more powerful than most of us can comprehend. Continue Reading…

Righteousness God’s Way

March 30, 2012 in Purpose with 0 Comments

The last few days have been distinctively challenging for me, and I’ve felt so far away from my destiny or what I believe my destiny to be. It seems like every time I take a step forward something happens that drags me back further than where I was before I could even make the last step.

A few days ago, after I had committed to letting go and giving all my concerns and frustrations to God, I completely lost track of that commitment and fell into one of my old traps, impatience and pride. I lost my cool with my oldest daughter and said some startlingly horrible things, things that I used to say before I rededicated my life to Christ but not now.

In the days that followed, the spiritual beat down came in like a tsunami wiping out the world that I had come to know as my life. As a matter of fact, I can’t recall in recent years feeling worse than I did during this time. Continue Reading…
