Made Up Mind



This week there have been multiple conversations with dear ones who have found patterns in their life of giving in to temptation and giving in to the demands of the uncrucified flesh. After a while, we began to discuss how it seems like some folks just don't struggle with transgression to the degree that other people do and these thoughts came out of those conversations. 

  • You are not a victim, you are a victor! Quit the blame game.
  • Jesus quite literally provided us with the victory.
  • You do not need to be enslaved to patterns that wound your spirit. 
  • Freedom is available to you!
  • Your choices are reflective of the things you feed your spirit/soul/mind.  
  • Just like physical food manifests itself in your physical body - spiritual food manifests itself in your conversations and your decisions. 
  • You're obsessing over whether or not God loves you, that's a waste of energy. 
  • He's already proven to all of humanity that He does. This was settled in the life, death, burial, resurrection, and promised-return of Christ Jesus. 
This life is a space in time for you to decide if you will love God; if you will agree with God, and if you will surrender to Him. 
Stop trying to make it about any of the other things.

'The Wrinkles on My Face' (Lizzie's short story)

Name: Lizzie Tegart Age: 10 years Grade: 5th Date: November 12, 2012   Wrinkles on My Face It’s a dark morning. The alarm clock wakes me up with its “beep, beep, beep, beep.” I pressed the snooze button but the beeping only stopped for a while. When it started up again, I wanted to throw my alarm clock out the window but I knew that I shouldn’t so I got up. “Burr”, I said out loud. The floor was freezing cold on my toes! I tried to feel around for my bunny slippers but found only one of them, so I put on the one that I found and hopped to the bathroom. When I got there I flipped on the light; the light was bright on my tired eyes. I squinted and looked around to see my other slipper sitting by the bathtub. “Oh good,” I thought “now both feet will be warm.” After I put my other slipper on I decided to brush my teeth. Still squinting, I opened the cabinet and felt around for my toothbrush. As I looked through half closed eyes for the tube I thought, “I hope the raspber...

Lets Do Life Together

The need for connection and relationship cannot be ignored or your 'forever' will suffer. Even this temporal life cannot be  done well on one's own.  We need one another.  We need community. Please remember, you are needed.  You are so very loved.

Sitting in the victors circle -

When we get to the end of life on earth and contemplate the journey, to some it seems that we have fallen victim to and have been overcome by disease, illness, pain and death. It may seem that we were too weak to win the last battle and that is why life on earth is ended. Let us remember that all things in this life are leading us toward eternal life. Those who are Blood bought, Spirit filled, Bible believing and Jesus serving are those who understand that this place, this body, this carnal shell is not the end all and be all. Eternity is the bottom line for the Christian; the soul is what we invest in. Those who are obsessed with temporal life do not understand and cannot grasp why we rejoice when a faithful follower of Christ passes into eternal life. Those with dimmed vision and limited understanding of faith in God are angered & fearful at the idea of death however; those who decidedly live for Christ cannot help but celebrate when another Christian’s earthly journey comes t...
