How we used to be or was......

This week we have a special "guest writer" - Enjoy this word!

While in prayer this word came to me.
That; that was "meaning how we used to be or was"
not to determine what is or to be.
Meaning your history no matter how bad or where you came from is not to influence where you are going in your destiny in God.
It is God that calls things that be not as though they were. Remember it was God that called Abram' Abraham' meaning a father of multitude before he had children. God knows endings as well as beginnings.
God is interested in restoration as well as his destiny for our lives fulfilled. He sees what we can be, knowing where we are even now. He sees the potential in us.
If we as a body of Christ are interested in God's heart that's where it is at.
So a warning to the body of Christ; there will be those that will come in with a bad start that we could reject with gossip and with judgmental attitudes and put them down. But God is raising up leaders who are willing to get messy in order to see a fulfilled destiny in there lives.
Remember it is not where you was that will determine your fulfilled purpose in the plan of God.

This little light of mine

So welcome to the first blog of 2011. Wow can you believe it only took six days to get a new blog up.

This morning I was listening to a song by Addison Road called this little light of mine. It was such a powerful reminder to me that we need to be a light into this world and let it shine brightly and to not hide it under a bush.

Next week our church is going to be doing a 21 day fast and for most of us it will be the Daniel Fast. This made me think about the children I teach in STIR student ministries at the church and as I began talking with them about the fast they wanted to participate.

So I became really excited to hear their excitement about wanting to do this fast. It wasn't just that though, it was the fact that children are who Jesus taught us we should come to Him as and so it makes me excited to see what is going to happen by their participation in this fast, and also to know their excitement about the new name we gave the children's ministry.

So all the things that you have been facing lately. Just take a second and realize that we need to let our lights shine, and whatever your going through, the light that we are shining is their for you, and Christ can and will take care of everything, and just rely on Him. He is equipping us in this journey and the storms we face today will be fuel to add to our flame as we let our lights shine into the future.
