Hey you Guys! Follow ME!

He walked down the street for days. He knew that he had a mission, something that he was to do soon. He also knew that he needed to find someone to help him. He figured he would know who to ask as soon as he saw them.

The guys were playing basketball on the court outside the apartment building. “Three on Three” as they said. Terry’s team was winning. Terry had a brother on the other team that was not winning.

Terry and his brother were taking a break from the job that they had at their father’s bakery, across the street. It was time to head back inside to prepare for the afternoon when they saw him. Continue reading Hey You…Follow ME! →

Are you Dehydrated?

The man was worn out. He had started his trip early in the morning. He thought he had the necessary supplies to get through the day. He was certain he had obtained all that he needed for such a hike.

Unfortunately, his thoughts proved him wrong. The car’s gas tank was showing empty. He should have stopped at the last rest area. As the needle fell past empty and the car sputtered, he knew he was in trouble.

After sitting in the car a few minutes contemplating his plight….he decided to check the nourishment packs. Only one bottle of water left! He had not picked up the second carrier as he left the park. Now what was he going to do? Continue reading Are you Dehydrated? →

Questions…..

We all have them. I am overwhelmed a bit with some at the moment. I am reading a Beth Moore Bible Study, THE BELOVED DISCIPLE. It is a great study on all of the disciples, but of course John is the focus. She presented a statement about what John believed, and I turned around the statements and then asked myself these questions.

1.) Jesus offers a lot of life~do I take Him up on it?

2.) Jesus sheds a lot of light~do I walk in it?

3.) Jesus reveals a lot of glory~do I behold it?

4.) Jesus delivers a lot of truth~do I believe it?

5.) Jesus shed a lot of blood~do I feel covered by it?

6.) Jesus lavished a lot of love~do I receive it?

7.) Jesus is full of everything we could ever need or desire~do I receive it in abundance?

It seems as though when I am experiencing a trial, I experience the abundance. Can I experience it in the everyday? Do my choices in the everyday circumstances allow me to receive what He has for me? Do I choose to believe, even when the simple daily circumstances swirl?

I do believe that the Father hears our hearts. He hears our desire to know Him more…I am so glad that I don’t have to explain myself to Him.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

How grateful I am that He doesn’t care that I have questions…I might not get answers, but I can always ask….
