True Love Waits

Today 35 teenagers made a commitment to be faithful to God and wait until marriage to have intimate sexual relationship. It was so beautiful to see our young ones making that commitment.

It will not be easy for them and I believe through our support and prayer they will make it. If you are lead, please say a prayer for them and their families.

Sleepy

I am sleepy so I will say nite, nite.

Forgiveness

Is there something that is stopping you from going forward in life. Something like sin or do you believe in sin.

Sin not confessed to the Lord, will cause you to fall. Do not feel your sin can not be forgiven? The Lord says in the following verse:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1John 1:9

You're still not sure, give it a try, just you and Jesus. He will hears you. I have not read in the Bible were He ever turned anyone away, who came with a repented heart. You have eternal life awaiting you.

Mother's Love

I really enjoy looking at this picture. Did you know the baby panda was so small?

Mother Panda, must be very gentle. Baby Panda is sleeping so securely in mother's arm.

When I look at this picture I think about my Almighty God. I am reminded how secure I am in Him.

Decades

I was speaking with my friend about my experiences in the different decades of my life.
I said in my teen years I was depressed a lot due to the circumstances in my life.
My twenties, I call them the wasted years.
In my thirties, I was finding myself and making career changes.
In my forties, I had a new attitude and the best thing happen to me. I gave my heart to Jesus Christ and my life has not been the same.
In my fifties, I am more active than ever in my life. I have a totally different career. I am involved in ministry work at church. I am learning Salsa Dance, taking Karate classes to keep me physically fit, and taking a writing workshop.

If you are in your sixties or older, please share you wisdom and insight with me.

Tired

I am very tired this evening so this writing is very brief. Have a wonderful night.

A Day of Rest

Have you had a day of rest? I did today. It does not happen to often with a very busy schedule. It was nice just to rest and take a nap.

Tomorrow, I am back on schedule and it will be a while before my next day of rest.

When you have a day of rest savor it. Enjoy your rest.

I have so much writing to do for my writing workshop. Would you believe that I can not think of what to write here. Well, at least I am writing what I am thinking right now.

Part of my writing workshop is to write something daily in my blog. Some days I do not get to write in my blog. Why, because I am busy with my writing assignment.

I am enjoying doing the work and it is a challenge for me. A challenge that will help to propel me to the next level. Even if I have to read and re-read and re-read my assignment.

Good Night for now. May you have a very peaceful sleep.

Going Through

When you surround yourself

With Believers in Jesus Christ

When you are going through

They can pray you through

Surround Yourself

I was doing my writing assignment and a quote came to me. This quote has to do with being a Born Again Believer and the importance of being with other believers. So I wrote: "When you surround yourself with Believers in Jesus Christ and you go through trials and tribulations, they can pray you through." Amen!

Looking Through the Window

Today while at service I remembered something I use to do.

Before I attended my current church I had lived two houses away from the church. On Wednesdays I would look out my window at a certain time and watch people going to church. Then I would look out the window again to see when they were leaving. I would wonder how was their service. I did this for about nine months.

During that time, I was a new believer in Jesus Christ and I attended a church in Brooklyn. I was not able to attend the week day service in Brooklyn because of travel time. I had a church two door away and I would not visit it.

I have attended my current church for twelve years. I remember when I began to attend the week day service I wondered why did I wait so long.

Are you looking out the window, watching other enter and leave a church building? Take that step and visit the church. Do not do as I did for nine months.
