That look on your face when you thought you had the flu but it seems more likely that you’re going to need your appendix removed early on a Saturday morning. Please throw up some prayers my friends.

““When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” GOD ’s Decree. “I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you”— GOD ’s Decree—“bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:13-14‬ ‭MSG‬‬ https://www.bible.com/97/jer.29.13-14.msg #OneMomentAway #JesusWay #GodIsGood #PraiseJesus #thankyoulord #lovewins #blessed #God

It’s easy to determine where we want to go, but sometimes we don’t always know how we’re going to get there. Don’t worry friends, God knows how to get you there if it’s the best place for you. “We plan the way we want to live, but only GOD makes us able to live it.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭MSG‬‬ https://www.bible.com/97/pro.16.9.msg #OneMomentAway #JesusWay #GodIsGood #PraiseJesus #thankyoulord #lovewins #blessed #God

Sometimes as Christ followers we tell people “don’t worry give it to God“ but we don’t know lies that… Worry is a natural emotion. Often when Christian say “don’t worry give it to God“ it doesn’t make sense to people because what does that even mean? Does it mean God‘s going to pay my mortgage? Does it mean God‘s going to get that bully to stop picking on my kid? Does it mean that God‘s going to take away the depression that my loved one is struggling with? When we see Paul in his letter to the Philippians telling them not to worry, notice what he says. He’s recognizing that worry is a normal feeling we’re going to have and then he’s giving us a tangible action, “instead prey“. He is saying, when you start to worry, when you start to feel that anxiety coming on, when you start to wonder if you’re ever going to get through this time… That’s the perfect time to have a conversation with your Heavenly Father. he doesn’t say dad is going to come to the rescue and fix the situation right now, what he does say is that praying during those times will bring us a sense of comfort because we will feel the presence of God. I know that many of us, our friends and family members are struggling. And of course we have things that would make us worry… I want to encourage you by saying that it’s OK to feel the way you feel, now please take action and have a conversation with God. Let him know what you’re afraid of. It doesn’t mean that those worries won’t pop back up, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be afraid, but you’ll have the peace of knowing that the God of the universe is with you even in the storm. He loves you. “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭MSG‬‬ https://www.bible.com/97/php.4.6-7.msg #OneMomentAway #JesusWay #GodIsGood #PraiseJesus #thankyoulord #lovewins #blessed #God

No America, Donald Trump isn’t Jesus, and our country doesn’t have a “corner on the market“ when it comes to following Jesus. As a matter of fact, I think many of us including me I’ve spent way too much of our time talking about everything but Jesus. Let me explain... I do not hide that I am a conservative. I have voiced on several occasions that while I believe Donald Trump I had policies that supported more of my values than Joe Biden, I have never believed Trump was some representative of evangelical Christians any more than I believe Joe Biden is a representative of Catholics… For some reason, Americans think that Jesus is pro America, and that Jesus is pro Donald Trump. I don’t know why everyone acts like our president was some super Christ follower. I voted for Trump over Biden because I believe more of his policies are better for Americans, and I’m grateful that some of his policies align with my Christ following values (like not murdering babies). Make no mistake though, he’s NOT your savior, and he’s not some shining example of how we are supposed to behave as Christ followers. We are told to follow Jesus, not any politician. While it is my personal opinion that we have a responsibility to vote for the person whose policies will align the closest with the values, it doesn’t mean that by default that candidate instantly becomes a Christ follower and it doesn’t mean that God supports that candidate. And it doesn’t mean that the other guy was able to get into office by pulling a fast one over God, the creator of the universe, it’s not possible. Even if you don’t like the other guy, or you didn’t vote for him, remember that God is always in control. Don’t believe me? Read the Bible and see how many times people had political power when it was very clear they were not serving God and they were even killing his people. Often times, God allowed someone like that to be in power so that his people would realize they’ve been far from him and they need to turn back toward him and cry out to him. Maybe Joe Biden is what America needs. Not because he’s a good guy, but because Americans, has been behaving like Pharisees. We’ve been acting like we have c

Great quote from The Contemplative Pastor... “... The assumption of spirituality is that always God is doing something before I know it. So the task is not to get God to do something I think needs to be done, but to become aware of what God is doing so I can respond to it and participate and take delight in it.”

Text written thousands of years ago sure sounds a lot like facebook today doesn't it? There was a time where we didn't think the entireworld needed to know what we ate for lunch. There was a time that we went and spoke to people when we were upset with them or thought they were upset with us, instead of posting about it and creating "virtual gossip" on social media. Just because we can share everything on social media, it doesn't mean that we have to. #OneMomentAway #JesusWay #GodIsGood #PraiseJesus #thankyoulord #lovewins #blessed #God
