On big happy family..

At the church we are a family, dysfunctional family. We have so many backgrounds and stories that connect us all. some are stories great and some so I'm not so great. But if we start looking at each other as family, not just your church family. If we see and recognize the dysfunction that makes us all human. I believe that the church will lose the dysfunctional part of the family and just become a functional family. 

For example, I go to church with a lot of people from my past. but at the end of the day there are my brother there my sister. We don't spend a lot of time together but we are a family we have the same father. So why not act like a family? We are there for the same reason we love God our Father and want to glorify his kingdom. So let's see our dysfunctional parts and fix it. that way we can be one big happy family.

And to become one big happy family, we need to remember that everybody is human. How everyone makes mistakes. sometimes small and sometimes really big mistakes. But if God can forgive and love us why can't we love them. Can we help them, be there for them and love them. let's pray for our big family today that we will all unite under one of father.

Why pray...

Why do we pray? If God knows what we're going to say before we say it. then why do we bow our heads and close our eyes before we eat a meal or to thank him for it or when things are going hard and even to simply say I love you and thank you.

Now I relate this to my life with my husband. Alex knows I love him and he knows how much I love him. He knows  that id do anything for him. I've showed him that and  I've told him that (,ie, the bible and cross from God's point of view)  but if we never said the things people already knew I think we would be living a silent life. Atleast on our end. God wants to talk to us. He loves the things his child says because he loves his child. He wants to be there for you. He wants to hear what happened in your day or what you want from life. He loves talking to you! And like any relationship communication is key. If we just go about are day saying "well God already knows what I think or want so why bug him?" Well prayer and talking to God isn't always about what you are going to tell him,but what he is going to tell you! Talk to God today he wants to hear from you and he wants to talk with you his beloved child!

A word from God this morning....

You have an amazing life before you one with power, Victory, strength, love, joy ,peace, and the Father by your side. Don't doubt this time of trial for it is meant to be water for a garden.
You will grow more than you ever imagined possible for your self. The flood gates of opportunity will open over your life. This will happen sooner than you think if you just trust me (the Lord) give your life to me and I will give you abundance! Trust in the Lord with all you heart ,soul and mind! For you are loved and I wont let you down or hurt you, iam your father and adore you. 

(I dont know this word is for but I know God loves you and wants you to open your heart and receive it this morning)

A little something you all should know...

Everything thing this says is true and you just need to accept it into your life and joy will flow. For these things are true because you are the daughter of God. A princess with a great propose.

Dirt in the garden....

Iam dirt. Dirt on the ground.

Now normally when someone calls themselves dirt they mean in a truly negative way. But not this time! Iam proud to be dirt for my Gardenier is the Lord. He plants seeds in my life, waters them with trying times, his love and mercy so they will grow. He has made me for beauty! Iam rich, needed, and have a great propose. 
 
And the best part is you are dirt:)

Fireworks

If we see our lives as us standing around on the 4th of july, we are just waiting for the the big boom and our shy to change. I often think we all feel this way when things go wrong.

We are the little one who doesnt want the "boom boom" to come because its scary. But if we have trust in God and know that what whatever happens around us he is in control and our confidence is in him those big scary shy changing fireworks turn into. Those small barley remembered poppers. That yes can be annoying,but in the grand scheme of things are just little.

can we walk on water

As Christians we often heard the story of Peter walking on water, but do we really stop and think about how that applies to our lives. at this point in our life we are in a storm let's say, the water is crashing all around us our faces constantly sprints with water our eyes are are blurred from the fog in front of us.and in this moment we have a choice a crossroads if you will.do we set and check our fish that God as we think into the water or do we grab Christ hand and focus on him and our God given purpose. don't make coming go in many different forms in our lives but one thing remains true.God is always with us and he will never forsake us, he has a plan for our lives and sometimes he's just waiting for us to grab his hand.as humans we may wonder what God is doing in our lives in he shot so many doors.we just need to know we may not be able to see what's in front of us and where that finishline is.

so let's not be Christians of little faith but followers of Christ that step boldly out of the boat and on to the storm which crashes around us but we know that Christ is our center and are light. you will never leave us nor forsake us in any storm we go through.you will always have his child's best interest at heart.so let's trust the Lord and grab on to his hand. trust the guys doing in your life because even though there are storms you were made with a great purpose for his kingdom.you are amazing it may seem hard now but God has everything in control even when it looks like the waters crashing around you.
