So Loved

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What an amazing foundation to build a life.

What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

What a great promise.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

What a loving sacrifice

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

What a conqueror

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

I'm so loved and you can be to

Fathers

No I didn't forget about you. Fathers have a big responsibility to the family they are the General in times of war, they are the Senator that makes the laws that guide the family, they are the CEO of the family, and they are the Pastor of the family. I can not express how important it is that his Commander in Chief be Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ leading you wars will be lost, families will be in disarray and collapse with no direction. So Fathers step up to the plate and take on your calling but do not be discouraged God does not call the equipped He equips those He calls. Depend on Him as your Commander in Chief his has been there done that and is perfect. If you every question His ability to lead just look at what He has made the morning sun in just the right place so we don't burn up, a babies first breath in life, the fact this earth is even still rotating regardless of what we do or don't do, I think the evidence is overwhelming that He is able and willing to lead you though anything you bring to him. We love and appreciate you even if we don't always tell you.

Lemons or Lemonade you choose

Life is funny it can provide you with tons of lemons and as hard as you try you can not make lemonade that is just right. However God can take those same lemons and make the perfect lemonade. Ok your reading this and are questioning my sanity here is what I was thinking about life has been hard many disappointment many challenges and nothing I do in my own strength will make it better it maybe even makes it worse. I'm so thankful that God has open my eyes and given me the gift to be his child and I don't have to do this life alone. I have a heavenly Father that I can take my disappointment, trials, and challenges to daily and he will use them for his glory. Do I come through it unhurt not always but I do come through it more refined more like Christ. I have not had one thing in my life that I have come through that I haven't been able to look back and say where was God.

If you are reading this and have not experience this amazing comfort or if you have a friend that is not experiencing this comfort that God provides contact me I would like to share what an awesome God I have.

Attributes of God

So I start reading the book The Attributes of God by A.W Tozer so the first thing I do is list the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the attributes of God. They were grace, mercy, omnipresence, and holy. Then I open the book and in traditional fashion Tozer blows me away first chapter Infinitude, and if that is not enough chapter 2 Immensity.

Have you every thought long and hard about the infinity of God. We all try to but boundaries on God because we are unable to grasp his awesomeness. However try this Tozer uses an illustration of C. S. Lewis he says if you could think of a sheet of paper infinitely extended in all directions, and if you took a pencil and made a line one inch long on it, that would be time. When you started to push the pencil it was the beginning of time and when you lifted it off the end of time. And all around, infinitely extended in all directions, is God. How small does that make us but more important is how big God is. God isn't out there in space He is holding space in his hand making it work.

What a picture, it gives me a new understanding of Gods awesomeness and what a gift it is to be called a child of God.

taken it easy

I thought I would take it easy this summer take some vacation, work 40hrs a week, family time, read a little, and just chill. that was the thought on May 15th On June 2 I find myself reading The Attributes of God by A.W. Tozer, getting ready for a bible study Stepping Up by Beth Moore, also reading So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore, tearing out a driveway and garage floor only to repour it, finishing a bathroom remodel, leveling and reseeding my front lawn, planting more bushes and flowers, and working 40 hours. So much for chillin

Moms

What a blessing, privilege, and a great calling it is to be a Mom. Not only do you get to birth this child you get to mold their character. Even though this is a very scary task you have been called by a higher power for this job. You have the privilege to experience first hand how God molds each of us into the person he wants us to be however there is one big difference God is perfect we are not. You will make mistakes you may have regrets however find comfort in the fact that God completes the task. He makes no mistakes and has no regrets. As you embark on this calling know that you are not alone and God in His infinite wisdom has given you instructions you can find these in a book He wrote called the Bible. Read it talk to Him ask for wisdom, strength, and endurance it will take all these. But most importantly don't stress out enjoy really all you have to do is guide them and show them Christ's love. Have a great day and know that you are loved
