word

Real religion the kind that passes muster before God, the father, is this: reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight and guard against corruption from the godless world.
James 1:27

WEAR LOVE. It's your basic all purpose garment never be without it
Col 3:14

Use your heads as you live and work among outsiders Dont miss a trick Make the most of every opportunity be gracious in your speech The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out
col 4:5-6

Don't let public opinion influence how you live out our glorious, Christ Orginated Faith.
James 2:1

If you decide for God living a life of God worship it follows that you dont fuss about whats on the table at meal times or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion
Matt 6:25

trusting God

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 5 10-11

so I have seen God come through in my life so many times.... he has answered millions of prayers.... and yet there are still days I think he is not listening or he is too busy to care about a little petty thing... I was just reading something were a girl prayed a certain flower would be in her landscaping package at her new house and it was.... he even cares about the flowers in front of our house... it makes me think of all the days I prayed for my marriage and my husband and God has blessed me and given me the greatest man on the earth... and all the times I prayed for God to heal my Daddy and he celebrated his 54th birthday today... there have been some dark days with dads health and God has come through time and time again....

I need to trust him more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

TODAY is the Birthday of my dad and Matt's mom Susan!!

We love you both so much and you have both equally enriched both mine and Matts lives.... We are forever grateful for you both!! Love and miss you!
