Vacations are Good For You

'In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.' Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)


 I don't even have one collectible souvenir plate of the states. So, here the planning starts. Here is where it begins. Here's the humans planning their course part. Here, look here, I have charted out a direct route to the east. Here is where I could take a 15 hour, 1000 miles times 2, trip to see the Capitol! It's a place we've always wanted to visit. The Museum of the Bible is definitely a must see. 

In our hopes to collect a plate from each state, we might consider a visit, rather than just a drive through. Vacations are good for your health they say. We wouldn't want to miss catching up with friends and family along the way, so giving it a day per state sounds doable. I can see absolutely no reason to rush through this vacation if it is God's Will. If it is God's Will He will make a way and make it a mission field. Five states here, five states there! Let's do it. There is no time like the present. There is no time to delay. There are so many things out there to see! After I put a pencil to the budget. After tax season. He will direct our steps. All we have to do is to be available and willing to go. This sounds so exciting! He will keep the path laid out before us and will bring us safely to our destination and back home again.

 Dear Father. Thank You for the desires that You have placed on my heart. When I am in Your Will and make Your Glory my end, I know that You will be right beside me every step of the way, directing my steps with Your Spirit and grace. Thank you that You have helped me to start. I see You in it and there at the beginning. I know whenever You are in it, because there is no doubt and fear is gone. I would be no where without You. You are behind the set up and have initiated the whole thing. You put it all in motion, the places where You want me to be are right there on the map. There really are so many possibilities and exciting adventures await us. You are the Spirit that gets me going and keeps me moving. I praise You.

Thank you for the last four years of peace. Thank you for our President who helped reveal the darkness and who built the walls to protect us and tore down the walls of injustice and hate. He set the stage. He believed in us. He cared. He showed us what we could do if we followed Your Way. He fought for freedom. He prayed in Your Name. Yes He did. You anointed Him for this time and for us. He needs a vacation from all of his hard work. Protect him and his family from harm and may the truth be revealed about the malicious plans of the enemy elite. Reveal and bring to justice. You, Lord have great things planned for Your Saints. We worship You for who You are and what You are doing to return us to righteousness. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
