Storms
Some days
Like today...
Feels like nothing can go right.
That old saying "when it rains it pours."
All of us have had this feeling from time to time.
Like the rain is endless, we need an ark...
Some of us feel we are drowning in it.
Being washed away with stress, bills, burdens, and tribulations.
I recall many times when I have felt exactly like that.
All the worry and stress helped nothing in those situations.
It just caused me more turmoil, loss of sleep, and more anxiety.
Ive learned, Im still learning actually... When the rain comes, it wont be the first nor the last time.
Its always gonna come.
It will drizzle one day, sprinkle other days, and there are also times of heavy rain, major storms, even monsoons occur.
There is no way to avoid it happening. You can however put on a rain coat, rubber rain boots, or use an umbrella, roll up the windows, or take shelter to keep you from the rain and keep you safe.
Looking back I know that Jesus is just that for me. He is my umbrella, my safety from the storms.
He keeps me from drowning.
Even though it can be storming horribly around me.
He protects me from the worst of it.
So when it rains and pours in your life remember who your shelter is.
Lay your storm at His feet. Dont let fear and worry cause you more turmoil.
He has it, and He has you. Jesus can calm any storm, stop any issue, and fix any problem or burden you may have. When all seems bleak, He is still and always on the Throne.
He never said life would be without storms, but He did promise to walk through them with us.
So when the rain comes, because
It will come again.
Let Jesus be your umbrella, your raincoat, and your shelter.
Ask Him to place you in His ark and protect you until dry land appears again.
He is our hope and our protector.
He is always with us. No matter what it looks like around us.
No matter what we face. He is always in control.

Reflect
My mind reflects
Joy, doubts, fear, love, pain...
Why does the heart deceive?

Reflecting
If today were my last day on earth.
Would I be pleased with what I did with my time?
Would that days words spoken cause me joy or bring me sadness and conviction maybe even regret?
If I closed my eyes for the last time, would those who love me have something sweet I said or did for them to treasure as a last moment or word with me?
Did I take the time to make people feel good? Feel loved? Feel special? Needed?
Did I speak life into people, make them laugh, did I cry with those hurting, did I pray with anyone that day to lift them up and place them in Gods care?
If today as my day comes to a close...
As I lay here in bed, thinking about these things, I can only hope that every life I have touched along the way gained SOMETHING POSITIVE from me.
That in my time spent here aside from my many mistakes, and failures along the way, did I show Gods mercy and grace to people?
Did they see Jesus in me?
Did I extend and offer help when I was able?
Did I share the gospel of Christ in at least one way today? Everyday?
Do those around me know my heart?
Did they know it well enough to know that their hurts where also mine.
That their struggles, burdened my heart for them as well.
Did they know that when i said "Im so happy for you" that I meant it?
That when I said "Im praying for you" that I actually did pray for them.
Did they know how much I appreciated them? Loved them? Missed them?
Did i spend time with God today?
Talking to Him, thanking Him, praising Him, reading His word, listening for His voice?
Did i tell you I love you?
If you are reading this. I love you.
Your life matters, and your are important to me in one way or another. If our paths have crossed and God allowed us to stay in contact you have meaning in my life.
Either past meaning, present meaning and possibly even future meaning.
So know I am blessed to have you in my life.
As I lay here, looking at this list and going over my day.
I can honestly say... for this day I have no regrets. If tommorow for me comes may I do even better tomorrow in showing to others the love, kindness, mercy and grace that Christ has shown me.
If it does not come for me...
I will be in the arms of my loving Lord and Savior. My King. For all of eternity. Full of joy, no sadness, in my Heavenly home with Jesus, my mommy in law, my daddy and with my best friend again.
Though I pray i have many days left ahead.
I could not let all of this go unsaid...
Dont let another day pass without Jesus in your life. Dont let a moment pass without being happy, making memories, and sharing joy and love to those God gifted into your life.
Because at the end of the day. When all is said and done. When your last breath of lifes drawn near. God, family and friends are all u have. And when you do close your eyes for that last time.
You will see Your Maker. And you will be sent to one of two places. Make sure you live for the ONE who can give you eternal life in Heaven. That is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Only One
There is no other.
Only One
Who can take the pain away.
There is no answer
Only One
To the questions we speak and say.
There is no peacemaker
Only One
That can calm the raging seas.
And only One
That can bring me to my knees.
There is no other
Only One
That is worthy of the praise.
He is the One and Only Son
Whom saves us from our wicked ways.
Only One
Yes it is He
Only One
I believe...
It is
Jesus Christ the King

We are in the end times.
Wake up!!
The time to slumber is no more.
Prophecy is being fullfilled before our eyes.
Our constitutional rights are being stolen a little more each day.
Our rights to assemble as Christians if we so choose, has already been taken away.
Whats next?
Economic crash... already happening!
Mandatory vaccines? Its in the works!
One currency, one government.
You better believe thats where we are headed!
The mark of the beast?
Once they have full control and have stripped us of all our rights, Yes!
The antichrist will step in and appear to be the hero of all.
A peacemaker in the time of chaos.
Its coming to this soon!
Its time as children of God, to be aware of whats going on.
As a Christian American I know we should obey and respect our Authority.
But to what extent?
We do not obey them over God.
If what we are being sold on, goes against our God given constitutional rights to assemble and worship?
That cannot be taken away.
Yet it is already being taken away!
Read your Bibles people.
Look up.
The time is near.
Accept the Lord into your heart and hear His voice.
Its time to be vigilant, for the lion waits to pounce on its prey.
In all this confusion and chaos...
It is Him who will guide you.
Seek Him
Wake up oh Children of God and be ready.
Open your eyes and see.

Todays Prayer
Father God,
I come to You this morning to ask You to forgive me of my failures and my sins. Cleanse me again Oh Lord each day for anything my flesh does that is displeasing to You. Remove all strongholds from my life. Forgive me for words said that shouldnt have been. Forgive me for thoughts that were unkind, untrue, or unpure. Oh God I cry out to You and lay myself down each day to You. I lay my life at your feet. Please. Lord hear our cries in this time of distress and chaos. Please Father heal those who are sick with this visus. Protect us all. God protect my family, and all those I love. Protect my friends, strangers, healthcare workers, and anyone who has to put their life at risk daily. God wisen up your people to be obedient to You. Awaken those who are lost to Your gospel, and your truth... before its too late. Oh Lord in Heaven embrace us all right now! Calm our fears, unburden our worries in the hope of You and the promises of Your word. God we are in your hand and cannot be snatched out, so my peace comes from that promise. What better hands to be in? Uphold us in rightousness and forgive our doubts. I praise You Father and trust You with my life. I trust You in this time of uncertainty. You are my only comfort and peace. Forgive my fears, as I watch your prophecies unfold before my eyes. For You have not given me a spirit of fear but of peace and a sound mind. Forgive my anxiousness about it all, because I have read the book and I know who wins! I should not be afraid but excited to know we will be caught up with you soon. Forgive my flesh for worry over it all, but mostly please get all those I know and love ready to meet You. Save their souls and change their lives. Open the eyes of your children. I pray the blood of Christ over my family and friends and all whom I know and love.
Thank You for loving me. Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You for being my Hope and Peace.
In the holy name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Amen

Easter
She opened her eyes and rubbed them. Yawning, she realized it was Easter morn. She jumped out of bed with all the excitement that her four year old self could muster up. Walking to the kitchen, there on the granite counter she saw her Easter basket. She shreaked with joy seeing the candy, bubbles, bible book, and stuffed bunny inside. "Grammy" she yelled! "Come see what the bunny brought me." Her grammy pushed up her bifocal frames, got up, and peeked into the kitchen. She was elated at the happiness on her sweet grandchilds face. "Lets show PawPaw" she said as she whipped back the curtains and motioned for him to come inside.
Grammy was overjoyed at the precious memories this holiday brings. As they sat down to read some scriptures together about the resurrection of Christ, they all gave thanks for their Savior and for another precious memory.

Growing Up
I wanted to go
I still loved you though.
You held me so tight.
I couldnt take flight.
Times are changing now.
You just couldnt see how.
I was finally grown...
Time to be on my own.
You gave me advice
Taught me "always think twice"
Gave me the skills to move on.
Now my childhood is done.
You said adulting is hard.
I thought that was absurd.
I should have listened to you.
But I wanted to do what i wanted to.
You said love cuts like a knife.
Now Im drenched in the colors of life.

What would Christ say
If he were here
in our modern day and age
Would he be locked up
or called insane
What would he think
of all the war, suffering,
and all the pain
Of the corporations
Fueled by greed
and all their sham's
The wealthy ministers
on private planes
Fleecing their sheep
for monetary gains
What kind of man
would be chosen
in this modern day and age
To be an apostle
of pure blind Faith
Would it be the addict
who has become enslaved
living a life of shame
Would it be the liar and the thief
in their treacherous ways
Would it be the homeless man
whom society deemed
a waste of space
Would he deem mankind
an utter disgrace
Worshipping idols that have no place
So many lost and of little faith
If he were to ask
would you take his place

Full Circle
We are born in the
Breaking of the dawn,
As dew settles on
Each blade of grass,
And awakened petals
Eagerly await Heaven's
Morning kiss.
We die in the fading
Of the sun, as twilight
Ushers in the night with
Moon's more subtle glow
And sends out the stars
To sing, in chorus,
A final lullaby.

Guaranteed their reconciliation

I crushed the flowers,
and burnt the words.
Silenced my heart,
and let the promises go.
