Life's Too Short!

When I find myself stressing the unimportant little things, I just take a deep breath and remind myself that life is too short! I should be doing more for others than for myself. I always remember that Ministry means to serve others; it's a service that we provide to help others spiritually. Our Young Women's Ministry is starting a can food drive and suggested in the winter we volunteer at a soup kitchen. I remember when we went into a nursing home; there were people there who were so alone and our company blessed them. I made me feel good that I could pray for someone who needed it and they felt blessed. When you look at the people who have nothing and no one, you appreciate everything more.

What Today Means...

Today is the day that Jesus rose from grave. He died so that we would could have life and have it more abundantly. He died so that we could have free access to the Father, so we didn't have to slay the lamb; He was the ultimate Lamb. We can now come before Him freely, how cool is that? I thank Jesus for paying the price I couldn't pay, for being bruised and battered, for taking on ALL my sins (which are a lot!), and for the nails in His hands and feet for me. No one can tell me God isn't awesome! He sent His only son to take on the sins of the world. He didn't have to do it but He did; and for that I am truly grateful. Be blessed.

Lord Give Me the Patience

"Lord give me the patience, I need to hold out. Lord give the strength to fight this battle."
This chorus has been on my mind a lot lately. I need patience because lately I feel like I am going to throw a serious monkey wrench in the Lord's plan for my life and ruin everything. Sigh. I know I am the only one that will let God have His way or fight it. So as I wait the Lord will strengthen me and keep me.

The Great Comedian

Sometimes I wonder if God is up there laughing away with the angels when He watches our reaction to things He has planned in our life. I say this because; I look at my cousin and his fiancèe who is my best friend. They never thought they would end up together; they never even looked at each other that way and then: BAM!

Lost In Translation

There are days when that's all I hear from others: a whole brunch of Charlie Brown teacher womp, womps. Lol. It just feels like so many things get lost in translation these days and a lot of actions always get misinterpreted because we assume the other person knows what we are trying to say even when we don't say it. SMH. I think it's just me sometimes.
