take it all away...
it's no longer of use to me.
I hate being subjected to things that are of absolute insignificance to my future.
Stop wasting my time...
I have better things to do...
I'm moving on...
you should too .

Happy Easter!
Hello friends,
I trust you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Sunday; I know I have!
I've never been so aware of God's greatness than I have in the last week. One thing I tackled was my room; a big mess! I ended up over 2 days, donating clothes, dusting/vacuuming, sorting, rearranging, and I've been making my bed everyday.
Now, you may be wondering how that goes along with the greatness of God... so let me tell you. Before when my room was messy and cluttered I disliked going in there except to sleep. However, since it's been clean I've spent more time in my room reading my Bible and reading the book I bought, "when God writes your love story." It's become more of an intimate place for me and God. I enjoy worshipping in my room and gaining new ideas of how I can decorate!
Did you know God even cares about how we decorate our rooms? How awesome is that! God loves us beyond anything we could ever imagine so much so that He wants to have a part in how we decorate! That should get you thinking - what else does God care about where my life is concerned that I'm not involving him in?
--------------------------------------------------------------
God sent HIS son to die on the cross [and rise again] so that we would live!
My friend, YOU live because God chose YOU to be on this earth for such a time as this. YOU are not a mistake, YOU are not hopeless, YOU are called, YOU are equipped with the tools to conquer the enemy, and live for a God that was beaten beyond recognition because HE LOVES YOU!
How can we argue with that?

The woman on the corner
When I drive to work some mornings there is a woman a little over half way before I get to work standing on the corner of a major intersection. She's probably in her 60's and not in the best clothing but none of that matters; this woman is a great example of truth. You see, every time I pass this woman she has a huge smile on her face while she holds a sign that boldly exclaims, "HIS PAIN, YOUR GAIN!"
I was stopped at the light of that intersection a couple days ago and as I watched that woman and read those words countless times I began to weep. God got a hold of my heart that morning and I knew it was time to step back and see all I've been taking for granted.
God is a compassionate God. He does have mercy and loves me and you unconditionally. We're far from perfect and we're fathered by the perfect one. I've been through a lot and come out on the other side completely redeemed and I know I am worth every bit of every thing God has instore for me.
God is real and alive and He wants the best for us. He has given and will continue to give us all we need. He is the only constant in our lives and it's a daily choice for us to walk in complete restoration. God didn't create us to just walk this earth. He created us to be in relationship with him. To make a difference and step out of our comfort zones and reach the lost.
HIS PAIN, YOUR GAIN!
