Happy Easter! He is risen

Have you ever been around or seen a party going on and not been invited?  It stinks right? To. It be included in something stinks.  When I have a party or I’m doing something I try to include as many people as I can or include people in it because I know what it’s like to be excluded.  I know what it’s like to feel invisible or like no one cares.  Y’all Jesus isn’t like the party that excludes people.  He has invited everyone to come to His wedding feast.  He wants everyone to enter into the kingdom of God.    All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved!  Romans 10:13.  All you have to do is confess and repent of your sins and turn to Christ! He is waiting for you today! Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus and you will be saved! Turn from sin and self and give control of your life over to Christ! You will never regret a single moment of it! Even when it’s hard or it gets lonely Jesus will always be there to remind you how much He loves you and that He has forgiven you! You are made holy and righteous in the sight of God because of Jesus! Unlike the man in Matthew 22 you won’t be turned away from the wedding feast because you have the wrong clothes on! You will be clothed in the righteousness of Christ! Don’t be like the people who declined the wedding invitation either! When Jesus calls you come and don’t wait until tomorrow because tomorrow may never come! And always remember that Jesus loves you and there will always be a spot for you in His kingdom if you would just believe in Him and receive Him as Lord!

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,” John 1:12

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. ...
