This Is The Day The Lord Has Made~So Rejoice!

This is the day the Lord has made I will regoice and be glad in it. It's a choice...everyday and throughout that day to make right choices and remember where the lines are drawn. I'm not always a success with my choices..but a made up mind to NEVER give up and keep trying get me back on track. I am big on using key phrases to keeep focus, one of my favs is...I can do this for ____ time, nothing lasts forever. Especially if its a job I don't want to do. But to remind myself to rejoice today is easy because I start going down my Blessing list, even if its raining and money is tight, with Jesus on my side...HOW CAN I LOSE?
What is challenging is when I try and encourage people who don't want to be encouraged and OMW shoot down every good word, I DO NOT choose to live that way!! Why would anyone?? Don't get me wrong somedays are very heavy, but as a child in Sunday School I learned to count my Blessing, name them one by one. I believe it works, try it! With every negative thought or comment counter with a positve comeback both to yourself or others. It takes practice but IT will happen and its easier to handle your day. When my kiddos get to be too much....I'm Blessed to be a mom! When money is tight...I'm Blessed to live in a country that has many opportunities, and on it goes but the biggest motivator is...I KNOW A GOD WHO LOVES ME AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE...check out Jeremiah 29:11...what an encouraging word!
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

See What My God Has Done~He Is Awesome & Faithful!

As most of you know 2 of our sons have been backsliden for about 4 years. We have prayed for and preached to them with lots of complaining, which is normal. We are more than ever aware that we are running out of time.
Well on Sunday night January 11th 2009......they both gave their hearts back to the Lord! It was so wonderful to see them both hands raised and crying out to God, I was so in awe of it all. But God is not done yet.....there is so many lost loved ones still out there that it's just the beginning!! This was such an encourgement for many parents that if the Lord will do it for this family then He'll do it for mine. I BELIEVE IT WITH THEM!! We can never give up or let up, no matter what the situation looks like. Several parents at The Rock Church have picked a fast day once a week to specifically bring their kiddos to the throne of God, it works! We are still in unity with you....NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!! God is so amazing why wouldn't we serve Him and give Him our best.
Thank you to everyone who has prayed with or preached to my babies~lol~(they are grown up now) :o) I could not finish this without saying thank you Jesus for such excellent leadership and godly examples, we are priviledged to receive at TRC.



This picture is of our youngest son praying with his friend, Aubry (his father is the one who started the fasting thing). This was taken on Sunday morning Jan. 11th 2009. Our son also was renewed, he was trying to make some "life" decisions on his own and when you are 18 its difficult. I'm so glad he let Jesus "help"~ :o)
