Youth Camp

Youth Camp is just around the corner. I will be honest I am sad that I am unable to go, but at the same time I am excited about camp. I pray that everyone will have a safe trip,have fun, and have wonderful time of fellowship with each other and most important with the Lord. I pray that the Bro. Kevin, the Leadership and young people will be pumped up at camp, but mostly when camp is over and yall come home. So I leave you with this, 2 Corinthians 13:14 NLT " May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." Yall have a wonderful time. Love yall and I will be praying for all of you everyday.

Loving God

Aaron spoke Wednesday night on "We should be motivated by....Love" It is part of the Motive8 Series. It was pretty awesome. He asked The question do you really love God? I have been really thinking about that sermon alot. Well today I did my devotion and it was talking about God's Love....I want to share what About God's love for us.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him so not perish but have everlasting life."

1John 4:16 NLT "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love."

Romans 8:38 NLT "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor are worries about tomorrow- not even powers of hell can separate us from God's love."

Romans 5:8 NLT " But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

From God Chick " We have a love letter from God. The Bible is God's Love letters to us. Page after page reveals God's love for us. His definition of his love is not the definition the world uses. The love found in the world is perhaps temporal and easily offend... But not the love that our father offers us. "

His Love never fails. His love is patient. His love is forgiving. His love is eternal. He will never stop loving you. Ever.
So we see how much God loves us. There is proof in His Holy word that he loves us. How can you not be blown way by His love. How can you not love God.
Here is the daily step for today.......Say out loud, " I am loved by my Father in heaven with a love that is beyond compare. He will never stop loving me."
Just Know that God loves you.

Finding Peace in Worship

Worship the Lord with Gladness; come before Him with a joyful song. Psalm 100:2

Worshiping the Lord, gives me that peace knowing that he is there. It doesn't matter whether your singing, studying his word, or praying. Either way you do it just know that God's peace is with you.

It's is all right, the Lord replied " Do not be afraid you will not die." And Gideon built an alter to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom ( which means "the Lord is Peace" )

In the book of Judges, Gideon was given a great assignment from God. An Angel appeared to Gideon and told him that God wanted Gideon to lead the children of Israel in a battle against the Midiarities. Gideon did not see himself as a warrior. He complained that his clan was the weakest and that he was the least in his family. He was just a little freaked out! But God reassured him...And said, " peace be with you; do not fear. Gideon immediately built an alter to the Lord and called it " The Lord is Peace" (From the Book " God Chicks")

I have been a little freaked out at times and worry about things, But putting my trust in him and worshiping him in pray, the gives me that peace. This morning I was reading from this book called God Chicks ( by the way it's a awesome book for women) at the end of each devotion it gives you a Daily step. Today's step: Right now...out loud.....Thank God for being your peace. Thank Him for bringing peace into your heart, whether it is in your single life, marriage, your family , your heart and your mind..

I have been so feeling so down the last few week. And I was just so bitter towards some people. But reading that this morning and worshiping his word, I just felt the Lords peace. I just felt so up lifted and so good. It was just awesome feeling.
I pray that you will find His peace.

Happy 4th of July

Tonight we had are 4th of July Blast for the singles at church. It turned out really nice. Bro. Kevin preached tonight. And we had some fireworks and lots of food. Mark Byers Was dressed up like Uncle Sam. I wished I had brought my Camera. It was really great..We celebrated the freedom that Lord has given us, I just want to honer what he did for me. He died on the cross and shed his blood for our sin. Are freedom to honer him, is a great honor. I sat there tonight thinking about how we still have the freedom to worship and to study his word. Life couldn't be any better than that. And I just wanted to honor those who fought for are country in the pass and who are fighting for our country now. And to the ones who lost there love ones during this war, my heart and prayer go out to you and your family. We have so much to be grateful for. To every one I hope yall had a nice holiday. God Bless Amercia...........
