Encouragement for your day!

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

(Don't just pray about what seems logical and possible. Pray HARD about the "impossible" God will show you that NOTHING nothing nothing nothing is impossible with Him. Ever. Period. End of Story.)

The Fruit of the Spirit ..... And an Announcement!!!

Hello Everyone! 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

~Galatians 5:22-23~

"God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity."

--Rick Warren

What has the Lord been showing you recently?

I'm SO thankful....

I'm SO thankful...

~ I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed!
~ I have the Holy Spirit’s power in me!

~ I'm a disciple of Jesus!

~ My past is redeemed! My present makes sense! & my future is secure!

~ I now live by faith, lean on His presence, and walk by patience!

~ My goal is heaven! My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions   are few, my Guide is reliable and my mission is clear!

~ I belong to Jesus!

:: Me and my little brother, Micah - June 2012 ::

Keep pressing on the upward way!

God

"You can't live for God until you learn how to live because of God. And you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who are, what Christ has done for you makes you who you are."

Patience :: Thoughtful Tuesdays

"But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." 
-- 1 Timothy 6:11 {KJV}

"Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary,
and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained."
-- Charles Spurgeon

Be Strong :: Meditations on Monday

"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."

Deuteronomy 31:6

 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

1 Peter 5:7

"Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might."
