Praying for revival

When the Life Action team came last week we prayed for revival and we prayed for repentance.  We prayed that God would bring revival to us and that He would show us the sins that we need to repent of.  One of the reasons that Life Action goes around to churches and schools in America is because they need revival.  We need God to rid us of ourselves and break us so that He is all we need and want.  To some people that might sound extreme but maybe that’s what we need, extreme, radical faith and radical obedience to God so that our lives would bring glory to Him alone.  Not for the purpose of legalism but just because He deserves it and that is what He desires of us! David prayed in the Psalms search me and know my heart...wash me and make me white as snow...purify me....let me know if there is any wicked way within in me...lead me in the way everlasting.  If you look in the Bible so many of the followers of Christ had a broken spirit.  David prayed a broken and contrite spirit God will not despise.  The world says brokenness is weakness and not good but brokenness is what God desires and it is when someone is broken that God can restore them and make them beautiful.  Let’s strive to radically live for Christ, denying ourselves, dying to self, taking up our cross daily and following Christ!

    I am so glad that God takes our brokenness and forgives us and makes us become what He wants us to be. I praise him for His love, mercy and grace.

Perfect peace

The wind. The rain. The clouds.  Sunsets.  Cool air. To some people those things might not bring a sense of peace and comfort but to me it’s amazing.  It’s so peaceful and beautiful.  I could stay outside all the time when it’s like that. Peaceful.  Calming.  But there’s a peace that’s even greater than that.  There is a peace that can only come from Christ.  There is a peace that passes all understanding. “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect  peace, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all [ a ] comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:7 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."  John 14:27   "O Lord , You have searched me and known me . You know [ a ] when I sit down and [ b ] when I rise up...

It’s a new year

Man I’ve turned 35.  I’m another year older. I guess it’s only downhill from here I guess or uphill haha.  I’d like to say I’m another year wiser and that I’m more like Christ and I definitely think I’m more like Christ. I think God has given me more wisdom also.  I’m just not anywhere near where I want to be.  Today was just another day really.  I didn’t really do much to celebrate it.  I went to Starbucks with a sweet friend who gave me a present.  I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t really have a party or anything even though other friends had had parties.  I realized that I was just being selfish and self focused. Sometimes I feel like I’m invisible or that people don’t notice me as much but even that is being self focused.  I was wanting a party so I could be with people and celebrate but I was also just wanting attention. I was thinking about this one time one of my friends Kaycee had one of our friends Laura make me a cake for m...

My journey of Faith and how God has guided me

Image
                           “A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs His steps.”  Proverbs 16:9 I’ve been thinking about this verse a lot lately and how true it has been in my life.  When I went home for Christmas after I graduated with my MDiv in Missions in December my plan was to find a biblical counseling internship somewhere.  I had looked different places but nothing had worked out. I looked on the biblical counseling website which is the website for the Association of Certified Biblical Counseling.  I had looked at Washington and it didn’t work out and I looked in Oregon and one of the first names I saw was Mitch Lamotte.  On December 29 I emailed Mitch Lamotte from Southwest Hills Baptist Church about doing a biblical counseling internship at their church.  He told me about the biblical counseling pastor at the church, Kerry Francetice. ...
