Through It All -We are learning to trust and depend on God

Our Savior, who gave up his estate, is calling us to trust in Him. He has demonstrated his obedience to God -our God and His Father under the most difficult and trying of circumstances. He demonstrated as we might say 'grace under fire'.

Jesus was and still is our example as to how we ought to live our lives her on earth. He told us that some rain will fall but he also told us to be of good cheer. He promised not to leave us nor forsake us. He told us that we can overcome just as he did and become victors and not victims. He told us that we can have the desires of our heart but we must but our unwavering trust in Him.

Who is more qualified to deserve our trust? Who is better able to deliver on all His promises? Who has never failed do what He promised to do? Which of us have the power to overcome death? Which of us can save our own souls from destruction? Who can give us peace that surpasseth all understanding?

Jesus never failed His disciples nor the people around Him during His day. He never failed at healing anyone. He never failed and casting out devils. He never failed at raising anyone from the dead. Jesus never fails.

As such, let's pledge our allegiance to our Lord who has shown us what is good and right and who's path we must follow to get to the Father -to get to Heaven. There's no more death and destruction in heaven; no more sickness and disease; no more famine and suffering.

Through it all, I have learned to trust in Jesus. Let us learn that God is awesome. He can do great and might things for us as we trust Him. I want God to do something awesome in my life. I want God to show Himself strong through me and you. I want God to transform our lives into lives of living and not lives of getting by.

God can do it. Let us pray that He does and we will give Him the glory -either way.

Praise God for being our good Shepard.

URGENT! Children of the world need you!

May I take time to pray for all the children (100's of millions) in the world that are less fortunate than mine or any child regardless of fortune that is facing dark days or being ill-treated. As much as I'd like to pray for myself and my needs (peceived or real) and etc I want to take time and ask God to bless the children.

Children are wonderful, full of hope and promise and it is a shame that many are disregarded and discarded. Many children are facing unimaginable challenges and obstacles that would make many of us in the West feel immediately intimidated and overwhelmed with stress and discouragement.

While I could complain, I cannot [should not] as I am sitting in a home that I was able to purchase (i.e. obtain a mortgage). I have heat and running water. I have two cars and a small business that's struggling right now but at least I'm generating income to feed my family [everyday] and have a few extras.

Many children (i.e. 100's of millions of children) don't even eat on a daily basis (possiby over a week) let alone eat McDonalds or Burger King. I think I've eaten McDonalds at least once this week and thus far my son is on track to eat "McD's" at least 2 or 3 times this week (unfortunately).

What am I saying here? I am saying that I am grateful to God for all He has done for me and my family and for those around me. BUT, we have an obligation to share our "wealth" with others. If you have over $1 in your pocket on a daily basis you're doing better than 1 billion people in the world today. I cannot imagine what a billion people look like all in one place but it's staggering to know that 1 billion people live on roughly a $1 US per day.

Share your wealth. Sponsor at least 3 children per month. Go to http://www.worldvision.com/. Get involved in helping poor kids in your community. Yes, there are children within a 100mi radius from your house that could use your help and prayers. In fact, there is a family on your block that can use your prayers right now.

God has been good to me. I am not a millionaire by any stretch of the imagination nor do I need to be. I want to share my "wealth" now and just help. My small contributions can make a difference and at least I tried. I encourage you to try and become a part of the solution to world hunger, poverty, and disease.

My God bless you so you can bless others.
