Are We Engaged?

Good Morning Christian Peeps! At our job we talk a lot about keeping our employees engaged! If people are engaged it means they are committed to and excited about what they are trying to accomplish. People who are engaged, accomplish several times more than those who are ambivalent and disengaged. Are we engaged today? Are we committed to this day, our relationships, our jobs, our friends, our spiritual walk? Or are we disengaged or ambivalent just happy to skate by and survive? We can't expect to accomplish our life's dream if we don't become engaged to it. Willing to go at it every day with every thing we have in us! That is what helps us succeed! God wants us to be engaged in our lives, spiritually, mentally and physically. Anything less and we are just sleep walking. Anything less and we are selling ourselves short. Become engaged today and watch great things unfold! Be Blessed!

Pure Faith!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! I found this quote this morning and it spoke to me... maybe it will speak to a lot of us. God is in control. When we surrender we truly do begin to exercise that mustard seed of faith the Bible talks about. Be Blessed!



The void] It's that place in our lives where what we've been hanging onto . . . clinging to for dear life . . . is stripped away. It's that place in us where we let go of what we know, what we think we know, and what we want and surrender to the unknown. It is the place of saying and meaning, 'I don't know.' It means standing there with our hands empty for a while, sometimes watching everything we wanted disappear; our self image, our definition of who we thought we should be, the clones we've created of ourselves, the people we thought we had to have, the things we thought were so important to collect and surround ourselves with, the job we were certain was ours, the place we thought we'd live in all our lives. . . Surrender control to the supreme wisdom and authority of God and to the Divine in your soul. Step into the void with courage. Learn to say, I don't know. That's not blind faith. It's pure faith that will allow God and your spirit to lead you wherever your soul wants and needs to go.   Melody Beattie, "Finding Your Way Home"

Uncovering The Problem....

Good Morning Christian Peeps! We have become a world of medicine takers. Supposedly there is a drug to fix whatever problem we are having. The interesting part is that although the drug may work initially, almost invariably it creates another kind of problem. So the cycle continues. What we must do instead of covering up the problem with a drug, is try to uncover what the real problem is first. Almost every ailment we have can be treated naturally. Sometimes it just requires changing our eating and drinking habits or our lifestyles. Changing our thinking can change how we feel. Taking time for ourselves can alleviate stresses that cause us to be sick. The same goes for our spiritual lives. If we uncover what the trigger is that seems to block our relationship with God, then we can move forward at an amazing speed. We can accomplish what God has truly placed within us. But first we must accepts responsibility for our actions. Own what we know is true in our hearts. Uncover the sin, repent and let God lead us! We can be overcomers in every area of our lives! Be Blessed!

The Lord Delivers.....

Good Morning Christian Peeps! We will have many troubles but the Bible says that the Lord will deliver us from them all! That should make all of us get up and shout today! Can we grasp that God truly doesn't want us to worry or fret? Can we understand that He is constantly telling us in His word to trust in him, seek him, give our worries to him, let his stripes be healing for us? Every now and then I will start to let something around me cause me to worry and just as quickly I will hear this voice say "Do You Trust Me" and I know it is the Lord reminding me that He has everything under control. That whisper to me completely turns my thinking and my trust back to Him and I let whatever is bothering me slip away! God is faithful and when we believe that with our whole hearts then we need have any worry or fear! God Is With Us! Be Blessed!


Psalm 34:19

19 A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;

They That Wait!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Wait is not often something that is easy to do. We are creatures who have been conditioned to hurry, rush, work harder, do more, and get to the top! But so many scriptures in the Bible urge us to Wait upon the Lord! Wait means to: Stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens. God has a reason for asking us to wait. Even though we are anxious to forge ahead and make things happen sometimes that is the very reason we get into danger zones and make mistakes. When we wait upon the Lord not only does He show us the true path but we "renew our strength". "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...." Let's wait today.... before we make that hasty decision again and find ourselves right back where we were .....let's take a moment to find out what God would like us to do....where He would like us to go! Be Blessed!

Look Around! What Do You See?

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  There is beauty all around us, there is love all around us, there are riches all around us but can we see it?  We only see what we look for!  We only experience what we reach for!  We only love what we open our hearts too.  We can have all we need if only we can see it, touch it and believe it!  No one can take away what we don't give them.....no one can make us feel bad unless we let them....and no one can control our lives unless we give them the authority.   We need to take back today what rightfully belongs to us.  Embrace what our Father has blessed us with from the beginning.  Stop allowing others to rob us of our Joy!  Stop allowing others to negatively impact our happiness.   For we are not promised tomorrow.......

Be Blessed!

MIracles Are Everywhere!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  This message is to encourage all of us that Miracles Do Happen!  There are so many documented cases of miracles that we need only to read the Bible, search the web, or just talk to friends. I believe that each of us are miracles walking around.  We may never know the times that we helped someone and by doing so,  were their miracle.  We may never know at what exact point we said something that saved a life.  We may never know when just a hug caused someone to rethink some wrong decisions and turned their life around.  We must believe that anything is possible with God.  We must understand that miracles are evident around us wherever we go!  We must simply believe in miracles to see miracles.  Be Blessed! 

He Gives Us His Peace!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! With what happened in Grand Rapids yesterday, we may stop and say, "what is going on in our world today"? But we have to understand that people today feel hopeless and they think they don't have anywhere to go or anyone to turn too. But we know that God is our peace, our hope, our salvation! Without Him where would we turn? In John 14:27, He says... Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. We don't have to worry, we don't have to be afraid... He will never leave us nor forsake us! Let His peace surround us today. Let His love permeate our very beings! Let Hope fill us up to overflowing! Be Blessed!

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Live Abundantly!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! How to live an abundant life...... 1. First recognize that we are worth it! That we deserve all God's blessings! 2. Spend time every morning and night with Him. 3. Be Thankful and Grateful! 4. Live in the moment, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. 5. Give of our time, money toward helping others. 6. Love, love love! It seems simple and it is! Be Blessed!

Let Others Get Their Blessing!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Have we considered the times that we have robbed our friends and community of a blessing from God because we didn't let them help us in some way. We don't mind helping others but asking for help is a huge problem with most of us. But what we have to realize is that by allowing God to work through others to help us, just creates a chance to witness about God's awesome power. It gives God a chance to show what He can do, to maybe people who otherwise wouldn't see it. Just like the woman in the Bible who ask Elisha for help. Her husband had died and the bills were overwhelming and she feared her children would be taken as slaves to pay off the debt. Elisha told her to go around to her neighbors and ask them for jars. God produced the miracle, filled all the jars and she sold them for money to pay the debt... but watch this.....I'm sure she had to take the jars back.....can you imagine the witness when she tells them how God supplied her needs. The whole community became a part of that huge miracle. Allow people in today....let them be a part of God's awesome plan! Let them realize what a blessing they can be! Be Blessed!

Storms Can Be Good!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! The storms have been rolling in off and on all night and still today. However, even though storms are notoriously known as a bad things because they can uproot trees, cause flooding, and basically wreak havoc, we know with assurity that not only will they eventually pass but we know that there is always good that can come from a storm. It's the little things that we don't see, like how lightning can cause grass to be healthy. Or how a storm can bring people together to help each other. Or just how it can bring a family together on the porch to watch it roll in. We have to understand that although we experience bad things, if we look hard enough we can see that there was always something good that came from it. Maybe it was just a lesson learned, or maybe we were able to warn someone. Instead of focusing on the bad we should embrace the good that came from it. There is always a plan and according to God's word, He does everything for our good.....even though we may not see it at the time! Be Blessed!
