I ask for prayers. Today is my last day at Rose Brooks and there is a since of sadness in me for some of the women and children that I will be leaving. I pray that God will watch over them and that God will be a part of their lives. Selfishly I ask for confidence in my new position and that I am able to see him in this path. As I strive to bring him to the center it becomes cloudy. I pray that he clears the path.
I also ask for prayers for my mom, Linda. She was in the hospital last week with pneumonia and now back in with some kind of infection from the antibiotics she was on.

Matthew 3

I pray that we be a people who love. I pray that even as we see what we lack , where we sin....we hold onto His forgiveness and love and love others.

8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

I don't know about you guys but I very quickly begin worrying about my outside in and after times of His showing me something in me. The whole of keeping with repentance. .....what does it mean to you? How do we stay internally tuned and outwardly focused???

Thanks

Thanks to you God for being here with us and leading us together in your NAME. Thank you for everyone here. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for Your SON. Thank you for YOUR PROMISES. Just thank you.

Outside the box...

I have to admit that New Community this past week has been absolutely awesome, worship time was great, and feeling the spirit move in me is something I have been longing for, for a long time. I pray that those feelings for everyone who is seeking Christ, or has a relationship with Christ, keeps the fire going for Christ. Having a relationship with Jesus is just the most awesome thing that can happen to anyone. I was told yesterday by one of the guys I work with, that he has never seen me get angry. I was thrilled with that, considering before Christ I was very mean and angry all the time. I just hope and pray that God uses me in the way that glorifies Him.

Thank you Father for bringing me outside the box and having me do your will. Thank you for everything you do for my family and friends.

Sad/Joyful

Today my mom calls and tells me that my cousin is now on his death bed. His breathing is now shallow and it's just a matter of time before he stands before our Lord. The word that comes to my mind through all this is "SURRENDER." I'm not for sure if he knows Jesus, God did give me the opportunity to pray with him. His journey is now at an end, the road, now only blocks long he faces alone; no pastor, no spouse, no friends, no family, just him and the God of the universe. The songs he is about to hear, the face of pure love he is about to see, to be in the presence of the Lamb. "BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD" Jerry........
Jesus, come soon

Acts 4: 31 While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's Word with fearless confidence.
