I am praying

Bishop Wilson preached a powerful message on Tuesday. The power in prayer is the amount of faith we have to trust God heard us and keep knocking until we break through.

I am praying for you Steven. I believe my prayers have power because I have the Holy Ghost.

I can ask why? I can ask how? I can ask when? However, I am not asking anymore. I am receiving. I am receiving the words of Jesus when He said "ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7.

So Steven if you see this post, which I hope you do, I want you to know that now is the time. For such a time as this we have been called, set apart, and chosen. Your life is not your own. Jesus owns your heart, and no matter how far and how long you run He will always be calling and tugging at your heart. Remember The One who has always been there, who never failed you, who loves you more than anyone, and most of all who really understands your every need. I love you so much!

Speechless

Ok so for the last week. I have tried to write a new post, but for some odd reason I keep drawing a blank. Has anyone ever felt like anything and everything they had to say was irrelevant, dumb, or just plain boring? Let me just say you are not alone. Everyone feels that way at times. What makes us feel speechless?

Big crowds? Intimidating people? Witty people? Our own insecurities?

Tell me what is it?

How Great is Our God!

God is Great

God is Good

God is Perfect

God's love is Perfect

He is...

Who is this God who can move mountains, calm a raging sea, heal cancer, raise the dead, and change a broken life? His name is Jesus. Who is this God who sees all things, knows all things, and feels everyone human being's pain? His name is Jesus. Who is this God who spoke me, you, and the whole world into existence? Again, I say His name is Jesus.

Philippians 2:9-11 (King James Version)

9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

And this list could go on and on so don't be bored like me. Don't let this be just another summer, but let it be filled with purpose! What are some more fun things to escape boredom?

My babysitting Adventure (nightmare)

Ok so here is how it all started...I said yes to watching my sisters. Yikes it sounds scary right? And well it turned out to be, but not for the reason most would assume. So here is my story...My sisters and I decided we were bored. Eliana of three years said "Sissy, I want to go to the park" Being the nice big sister that I am, I said "Yes, of course, anything for you my sweet little princess." Ok ok so I wasn't that nice, but you get the point. Anyways... So I packed the diaper bag, buckled Chloe into the stroller, put shoes on Eliana, and grabbed stuff for a picnic. We headed towards Elk Grove Park, through the neighborhood, and crossed ElkGrove/Florin Rd. Wow! that was a long, hot walk. Finally, we got to the park, where Eliana made some friends and played, I invited the moms to the concert at the Rock, and then it was time to leave. I decided to walk the same route back fearing I might get lost if I tried to find a short cut. I was about half way home and had already walked 30 minutes when I saw one...two...three...four...and five...police cars drive past me. "Interesting" I thought and kept walking. When I reached the end of the street and turned the corner to my shocking horror, I saw the police, the road was blocked, they had their guns pointed at the house, and they were bringing men out in hand cuffs. This is when I calmly turned the stroller around and reluctantly started walking back the way I came. To make this story short, I ended up walking for 1.5 hours. So my lesson in all of this...drive next time. And the scariest part...I have a huge sunburn and not to mention I almost walked into a shoot out. No big deal right? hahaha The End!
