If not us then who?

As I watch the events of the day I am compelled to wonder when does it change? It only begins to change when we start, so, if not us then who?

We decided late this afternoon to ride by our local park so bikes and skateboard's could be ridden and dad's could have a lil under the pines quiet time. I sat watching the world go by thinking about what I have seen and done in 44 years of existence on GOD'S wonderful creation it occurred to me again as it has before that I need to be always giving thanks for all things at all times. The apostle Paul taught us through many of the situations that GOD led him through no matter where he was he gave thanks for all things therein.

We fuss and grumble when things get rough and cry out to GOD to make it all rosy and sweet when maybe we need to thank him for where we are and the things he is teaching us by being here.

That's a another reason showing how much GOD loves you!!

As I sit here this evening thinking about how blessed my life is I began thinking of ways to help people see how blessed they were in all things.

I first thought of John 3:16 and how plainly it tells us that GOD so loved the world he gave us his only son as a sacrifice for our sins, and that alone if it was the only blessing we ever received would in fact be the greatest blessing of any. But then I began to think of all the things we take for granted that are blessings: such as not just clothes on our back but nice clothes on our back! Then I decided I was going to start a list, a list of all the reasons GOD loves us!! Now at first I was thinking of obvious things like food to eat and a vehicle to drive. As I continued to think about it something occurred to me I needed to be more specific and more thankful.

I needed to begin in the beginning: Breath, I am genuinely thankful for and cherish every breath you give me LORD. This is where I begin every day and end every day, and every day I strive to be thankful for every aspect of my day, even when I am not happy with what's going on I am thankful for GOD leading me through these valleys because with everything I can learn something. Teach me with all that I am and all you would give LORD.

Praise GOD!

God first

As I started this day I had such a burden on my heart to talk about prioritized lives,  and focus on GOD. I have for a greater part of my life struggled with moving too quickly from thought to thought. I am implementing in my life a new train of thought in which I ask myself is it for GOD about any new endeavor I undertake. So in all aspects of my life I should always come back to one fact: GOD FIRST!!

Wherever GOD has you praise him for it!

I have been studying about Paul a lot lately and I have come to one conclusion: He was the man to be on missions trips with! It didn't matter whether he was in a jail cell or preaching and teaching to the masses, he praised GOD for the journey, where he was and the opportunity to witness CHRIST! I am praying that in my daily walk I can do just that!

To know where we are going we have to know where we came from.

I have had the most amazing pleasure of watching some kinfolk working on our family tree. Here is my Great, Great Grandmother Rachel Hacker.

Evening praises

This evening i want to praise GOD for the health that I have. I have been battling a lot of issues and sometimes I can get caught up in these battles, so, I want to start tonight by acknowledging that GOD IS IN CONTROL!! I Praise him for the fact that he is guiding me through this valley.

I am grateful for a family that is supportive of me as I continue to prepare for GOD'S work and discipleship endeavors as I go out into ministry in whatever capacity GOD has for me.

I pray for our country, all our leaders and all of the citizens of the greatest country on the planet. I pray for a revival like the world has never seen!

I want to make sure that anyone reading this has the opportunity to come to CHRIST if he is not your savior, message me on here or Facebook or Instagram, please do not wait, tomorrow may be to late. If anyone has prayer requests please message them to me and I will add them to our list daily. Ol Hillbilly loves y'all and I pray we can spend some time every here on the porch!

True love begins and ends with GOD

I hear folks talking about I love him or I love her I will do anything to keep them and make them happy.......This is all well and good but my question as a 23 year receiver of marital bliss is this.......Have ya prayed and made sure GOD wants you two to be together? Is this union GOD'S will or yours? Is it based on the butterfly feelings you get only? If so you better hold up and take inventory if you want to have a GODLY relationship based on biblical principles and not societal tags that say if it feels good it must be good go for it!!

I can tell you as an observer of many relationships that if GOD is not first the relationship will not LAST!!

Thinking.........

So I was deep in thought one afternoon recently when it suddenly occurred to me........I have spent more of my life trying to figure life out than I have living through trial and error an actual life!! I intend to change this!!
