We are a People (2 Timothy 3)

We are NOT a people...

Who are lovers of themselves
We are not a people who are lovers of money
We are not a people who are boastful, proud, disobedient, ungrateful and unholy
We are not a people who are without love, who are unforgiving, slanderous, rash and conceited
We are not a people who are lovers of pleasure over lovers of God
We are not a people who deny God's power and have nothing to do with Him

But...

We are a people...

Who have a purpose
We are a people who have faith, patience, love and endurance
We are a people who experience persecution and sufferings but push through because we are a people who have been rescued
We are a people who continue in what we've learned from the Holy word of God and those who have gone before us
We are a people who are made wise from these same words
We are a people who have gained salvation through Christ
We are a people who are equipped through God's word for EVERY good work

BE WHO YOU ARE

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid. I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it...

Ministry Isn't Easy

Exodus 4:10 But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Sometimes we don't feel good enough to do what God has called us to do. And sometimes we use that as an excuse to get out of it because we give into fear. At least that's how it's been for me. Initially when the Lord called me to start London Square Children’s Ministry my argument was, I'm not good at leading and organizing. I can jump in and help someone else who is leading and organizing but I can't start up a Ministry and lead it. I'm not good at that. And although that is true, it's not my strong suit, He equipped me to do it. And much fruit came from it. Then covid hit and I got pregnant. A long season away from the Ministry for the safety of myself and my baby. But I think that safety from a virus turned into safety of my time and energy. Honestly se...

God's Providence

1Thes 2:8 We loved you so much we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our own lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. I believe the Lord has done remarkable things in my life in order that I may share it with others for His glory...so here we go. The Lord's providence has been all over my whole life. And I mean my WHOLE life...but I'll start at age 8. When I was 8, my aunt and uncle so lovingly blessed me by sending me to Kanakuk a Christian athletic camp. That was the summer I first heard the Gospel. This was the same summer my two year old brother passed away. Divine providence one, I heard the Gospel, the promise that this life is not the end just a week or so before my precious brother went to be with the Lord. Thank the Lord I had those promises to hold tight to in that dark time. The summer between 6th and 7th grade, my aunt and uncle again, obedient to the Lord's calling to love and pursue me offered to send me to a pri...
