Day One Zero Eight.

DAY 108

TIME FOR AN UPDATE


A few quotes from Damon Thompson

"I don't want to sit under a worship leader who has a good voice and poor morals"

"Never not receive a person because they haven't arrived"

"If you do not like the letter, do not get mad at the man delivering the mail, get mad at the one who wrote the letter".... really, don't get mad at all :) you get the point though.

I'm going to diligently inquire...

Are you allowing yourself to be controlled by the operation of the Spirit of God?

Is your will subject to the operation of the Spirit of God?

The key in all things is allowing the Spirit of God to work through you what He is working in you.

It is the sweetest treat to watch God work in all things. What an honor it is to be used by God. When I pray, He answers. Why? Our God is so lovely. How unworthy am I... yet, He uses me every moment that I look to Him. May that be every moment. This brings me joy unspeakable. If I could relay to you all the love and joy that God pours out over me, in words, I would. But, I am unable to do so. Instead, I will live the rest of my life living from that position of love and joy. I give my life to the relaying of God's message, which is love. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.


Lately I have been overwhelmed with the love that I have known. God is always revealing Himself to me. It is a love that causes me to let go of ways that are not glorifying and clinging to the good that surrounds me. His care for me has produced in me a care for Him, which in turn causes me to care for the people around me. The love that I express daily is out of a love for my Father in heaven. My heart is to please the Father & to live my life in such a way that others may see His love through me and so desire to please Him too.

There is a friend that I have communicated with a lot these past few months. This friend prays for me, daily. Prayer takes place out of a love for the Father. He longs to see me excel in the ways of God, so that God will use me in all things. Having this friend in my life has brought me great encouragement and freedom. All glory be to God. Amen.

Our God is sweet & lovely. Just yesterday, I received a text from a friend of mine and she asked me to meet up with her to talk about what God has been doing. We met. God is wonderful!!! IN EVERY WAY! A little over a year and a half ago, I had to let go of this friend because we were not on the same page or longing for the same things. I was a new believer desiring to please God and she was not as concerned with Him as I was. Knowing that letting go of her would prove beneficial, I did. I prayed & prayed that God would reveal His love to her. After a year and a half, God answered me :) NEVER GIVE UP!!! My friend now has a fresh fire and deep burning to see God glorified in all things. This is just one example about how if you give to God what is dear to your heart, He will purify it and use it for the good. In this case, I was even given my friend back :) We plan to meet for coffee once a week... the coffee isn't our desire or aim. Our aim is to see one another grow, to encourage one another and to discuss how God is working in our individual lives. I am so blessed. So glad to have her back in my life :) Our friendship is finally real. All glory to God. Amen.

Quite a few times these last few weeks, I have been eager to pray for my husband and children. I am so excited and filled with wonder... :) All I know is that God Himself is for me.... :) Not because I am in any way righteous, but because His Son died on a cross that I would have a way to Him! Wow! All glory to God. YES!!! PRAISE YAHWEH!!!

Being a citizen of the Kingdom of God is hard work sometimes, but it is enjoyable and rewarding. Everything done for the glory of God is rewarding. If you give every part of who you are over to God, you will experience great joy and hope. Our hope is in the coming of our Lord Jesus.

:)

Today is a great day to smile & thank God. You are alive.

Thankful for: my room, the Hilbun's, Brooke, Brittany, and Thomasville Baptist Church.

Day One Zero Four.

DAY 104.


strive to attain a quiet life.


"His love is characterized by gentleness. It is not forced upon us, nor is it demanding; it is comforting and pleasing."
"The simple fact that He, alone, is holy should dramatically affect how we enter into and sustain a relationship with Him. What a privilege it is to know and be known by such a Being! What reverence, fear, and gratitude we ought to have in our interaction with Him."
-George Barna in Think Like Jesus

The last few weeks have been exciting. God has allowed me to do so much, be used in many ways, and has answered so many prayers immediately (He's so kind).

Today has been sweet. Every day is really. With God, all things are extremely enjoyable... even the tough things :) That's just how powerful He is. Our God is amazing, wonderful, and perfect in EVERY WAY! That being the case, let's praise Him :)

This morning I slept in a little only because I stayed so busy all day yesterday and needed rest! Yesterday... Around six a.m. I headed to Mobile, went to class from 8-11, ate lunch, ran, took a shower, went to work from 3-9, and then headed home (to Thomasville). Got back around 10:45. It was nice to get home. Ashley & I were able to talk some. That was nice. Being near Ashley brings me great joy.

If any of you think of me, please pray that I would walk in humility. My heart is to serve everyone in complete humility... and definitely Ashley, because of all that she has done for me. She is a friend, but so much more than that. Her heart is beautiful and I learn so much from her, no matter what she is doing. I desire to be to her what she is to me. To serve her in total humility and bless her in any way possible. Thank you all for your prayers.

My morning has been relaxed & full. A little after lunch, my brother Damien called me. Please pray for him. He told me of a new adventure he has taken on and my heart hurt after hearing it. Pray that God would save Damien & Freddy. They mean so much to me.

Something I realized today was that, the one's that do the will of my Father in heaven are my family.

:)

My hope is that you all are growing in understanding and walking in true freedom.

Bless you all.

Thankful for: Ashley, Bethany, Levi, Mariah and my swing.

Day Ninety-Eight.

DAY NINETY-EIGHT

Every now & then, I wear a pair of CAMO pants from Gap. I am a warrior, fighting in the army of the Lord


What a wonderful day to be alive (but, what day isn't?). God is working all around; He's a wonderful King.

The day started off early and I was able to talk to a good friend. We talked about a lot. It was encouraging to be encouraged. That seems to rarely happen. To just be purely lifted up and blessed is the sweetest gift. I am so thankful for relationships ordained by the Lord.

Everything about selfless, humble love is attractive. I am attracted to the characteristics of God in other people.

We talked about how people were created in the image of God.

Mobile was nice. Being on campus was perfect. Truly glorious, to say the least.

In Christian Worldview, we talked about work & marriage. Dr. Younce gave us a wonderful lesson on knowing when is the right time to be married and pure wisdom concerning our future. I was extremely grateful to be taught under him today, because he is such a wise man. My hope is that everyone in that class would pay attention with all that they are, so that they can learn great things under such a great leader.

Oh, in Mission & Message, Dr. Younce fell. He looked up too fast and before we all knew it he was on the ground. Everyone rushed to him to help him. I prayed. God protected him. If you could, please pray for my professor. He is seriously a blessing in my life and I am wanting him to be lifted up to the Father. He would never have asked any of us to pray, but that's why he deserves it all the more.

Dr. Younce is a wonderful man of God. I intentionally decided to take him for two classes this semester. Being in his class opens my eyes to many things in the Spirit and I am forever thankful for him. Thank you for your prayers.

Psalm 111
1 Praise the LORD.
I will extol the LORD with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

2 Great are the works of the LORD;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3 Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
8 They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.


I am extremely blessed. All of my blessings come from the Lord, who is in control of all things. Today is a good day to recognize that God is the ruler of all things, and that is just who He is. No one can rule, without His permission. He is King!!!! HE IS ALIVE!!! HE IS RULING! Now!!! Acknowledge His rule today :)

Praise report- the Lord laid it on my heart to pray for a specific professor and his kids. So, I started praying for them without ceasing. God has given me prayers to pray, and so I have. Well, on Tuesday I ran into him and asked about his twins (the one's I have been praying for) and mentioned praying for them. He seemed really puzzled, but amazed. He asked when I started praying for them "Two weeks ago?" ... "Yes sir!" I replied... and stared in amazement as I walked away. When I came back he said that two weeks ago his children started to be a lot better and that God had given them time to really enjoy each other, which he said had not been happening before. He was so grateful & asked that I would pray for his wife. So I have been praying JOY over his wife these last two days. When I ran into him today I asked how she was... he said that she was doing SO GREAT... :) her unhappiness has changed to happiness. They are going out on a date friday and they have a babysitter to watch the kids :) How awesome? God has answered all of my prayers for their family... and I am so glad :) I will continue praying for them. Just wanted to share God's sweetness & blessings with you all :)

Thankful for: Psalms, rest, the Hilbuns, the McDowells and friends.

Day Ninety-Six.

DAY NINETY-SIX


Well, what a lovely day. Today has been extremely sweet. Before I fell asleep last night, I was able to talk to my spiritual mother. Her name is Momma Barbara. She mentors me and teaches me the ways of being a woman of God. Her love for the Lord leaks over onto me as she pours into me. Having her in my life really makes me a stronger woman. The life that she lives and the love that she gives helps me to see Christ. My spiritual mother abides in Christ and she is very free in His love; she is against legalism, but boldly loves God and follows His ways. Talking with her helped me to see more clearly. Our conversation was about the Jewish feasts, purity and holiness. Her speech is so pure, simply because her heart is pure. Being taught under her clarifies so much. Holiness is only possible when you spend time with the Holy One.

Waking up this morning, after spending much of the night talking with Momma Barbara, was so sweet. Just being alive and realizing the beauty in life really encouraged me. There is so much to receive in the Lord.

Early morning test and that went well. It was much easier than I expected & for that, I was grateful.

My second class was amazing. My professor spoke on the truth that human beings were created in the image of God. Because every human is made in God's image, they are worthy of respect, dignity and value.

Hopefully you all are having a wonderful day.

Bless you all.

Thankful for: everything.

ps- every now and then, I feel the urge to wear clothing that says stuff like "WINNING" simply because I know that my calling is to be a soul winner... and because we are VICTORIOUS in Christ, I AM WINNING. that's all.

Day Ninety-Four.

DAY NINETY-FOUR

my little Preston wanted a picture w/ me... so I stood in the background pan in hand, spaghetti time


My Desire
Desiring to see you, to see into your eyes
Full of fire and passion you stare into my heart
Longing for all of me, I give to you what I have
The holding on no longer exists
For this life is yours forevermore
Take me and break me of myself
Let every flaw flee
Being only transformed by your purity



Today was a repeat of yesterday.
Early morning race.
Babysit.
Do my own thing.

It was nice to babysit. God was sweet to instruct me and teach me different truths about being a mom. Immediately upon arriving at the Swann's house I started making lunch. We had Spaghetti. Making food was great. The whole time I was cooking, God was teaching me how to be productive & even how to be a good mother. I felt like He was keeping their kitchen clean through me. Making lunch and cleaning was so rewarding. I realized today that I could spend the rest of my life serving a family. Cooking, cleaning, praying and helping in any way possible. I'm a mom at heart. Still have heaps to learn, but definitely am confident in the fact that I am a mom.

Oh yeah... my cousin Christian said that his foot feels better today. Hallelu Yah!!

I'm genuinely hoping for something right now.
My heart is doing jumps of it's own.
All I want to do is pray, so I will.

Thankful for: prayer.

Day Ninety-Three.

DAY NINETY-THREE

He's saying, LOOK TO ME


Today has been pleasant in every way possible. Early morning, but not as early as most days. We had a race in Mobile today. It was really enjoyable. The course that we ran was one that we ran for pretty much EVERY race in high school, so I was familiar with it. On top of it being a familiar course (which never happens in college) I felt 100% glad to be running the entire race. God gave me supernatural joy. At first I did not think it was possible, because of certain circumstances and then God showed me how much He just wanted to love on me and how He wanted me to receive that love. I am so blessed to be known by God. My time was nothing significant and others could have said that I ran poorly, but the truth is my God was with me and that was special to my heart and will always be. I am thankful.

When the girls were done, I saw a friend of mine from high school. She runs for Spring Hill, so this is our 7th year racing together. Her name is Kierstan Carter. Today she told me how her hamstring was really hurting and that she would have to sit out for a few days. Knowing that God could completely and totally heal her, I asked her if I could pray. We prayed right there in the middle of the park. I believe God healed her. It was awesome to be able to pray with another believer.

My brother ran unattached (he is currently not in school & a super talented runner). He came in 4th place. For his circumstances and not training much recently, it was amazing to see. For the first time ever, I cried when he received his award. It was beautiful.

Christian, my cousin also ran. He did very well. I'm not sure of his place, but he finished great. It was a joy to watch him run. When everyone was finished, he was telling me how his foot was hurting. He was hurt after doing a 100 ft slip-n-slide. After explaining to him my trust in God as healer, I asked if he would allow me to pray. He allowed me to. That was huge. He has claimed in the past not to believe in God. So him even allowing me to pray really blessed me in a way that I will not be able to tell in words. My hope is in Christ. My hope is that Christian is healed & acknowledges God's powerful hand.

After the race, I took the girls back to the dorms. Katelyn Osborne let me clean up in her room. We then parted ways. She went to lunch and so I went to study.
Studying did not last long, then it was time to babysit. My brother, Damien, met me at the Swann's. All of us had lunch and it was so yummy. Following lunch we made milkshakes :) I really like ice cream... and milk.

Seeing my boys has been so sweet. They have always been so loving to me. It has been almost six years since I have been watching these guys. Wow, time has gone by so quick. For the last five years I have been the babysitter for Cameron, Zachary and Preston. We have never gone longer than two weeks without seeing each other (until I moved away this summer and left them for three months). So we were all so excited to see each other and just play :) They are the sweetest boys in my life and probably my biggest fans. Hearing "SHINA SHINA SHINA" repeated over and over again is so sweet to my ears. Yes, Preston calls me SHINA... like shine-uh! So cute :) He's been saying it that way since he was 2.. or younger maybe :) Having them back in my life is so important. My heart is for them and always will be.

There are so many sweet things on my mind... mainly just gratefulness.

A PROVERB
"When words are many sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise" Proverbs 10:9


Today, I have written that proverb on my arm... and something really neat happened. My brother saw something on my wrist and said, "What does that say?" I spoke it to him and he responded with the words, "Thanks, I needed that". This is always a big deal... as big of a deal as Christian allowing me to pray... this is a big deal because Damien has also denied truth recently.

One of the hardest things is knowing that my two best buddies from growing up are lost. My life is a little too much for them most of the time and I can tell. Sometimes I grow weak and fail to leave a good taste... but it is never intentional. Ever. I always want to bless them and show them the truth that living for Jesus Christ, my Savior, is the most wonderful life I could ever have. That Christ is the Savior, King and Ruler of all things. When I fail to make the gospel attractive, by weakness, my hope is that somehow Christ shines through me anyways. Deep within, I know that He is seen as strong... even in my weakness. If you ever think of my brother, Damien, or my cousin, Christian, please pray that God would save them from the ways of the world and deliver them into life and life abundant. I stand in Victory for them, believing God will save them.

Oh, just a little information for those wondering...
Being single? How's it going? Of course, that is what you may have wondered for the days that I have failed to write anything about that part of the journey... well, it is GREAT! God has opened my eyes to a few deep things concerning my future husband and family, and I am genuinely looking forward to seeing how it all works together. Being single has been refreshing and intentionally freeing. I am thankful that God has given me the grace to embrace these days... and I hope that you all (who follow) are enjoying my journey just as much as I am.

Be blessed and stay in touch :) I'd love to hear how God is working in and through you all.

Love always,
Chynna Love Lee

Thankful for: cross country, teammates, family, Preston, Zachary, Cameron, and restful afternoons.


ps- a while back there was a young woman named Rose who started following my blog. At first I asked her questions to find out who she was and what made her follow my blog. Long story short, she is a follower of Jesus Christ all the way from Romania. It encouraged me so much to know I now had a friend from Romania that I had never met in person. Well, today we were able to talk on yahoo chat and it was so exciting. Yes, it was a brief conversation... but it was so nice to just hear about her life for a moment. I am so thankful for friends in foreign lands... for meeting other believers... it is so exciting :) I love new friends.

Day Ninety-Two.

DAY NINETY-TWO

"Your job is to become that newer researcher" Kate L. Turabian


This morning, I was reading in our Research Seminar book on writing in Turabian. This quote caught my attention and suddenly I was applying Turabian encouragement to my walk with Christ. Your job is to become that newer researcher... in writing research papers, it is important to dig deeper and find out more about the topic than others have. When you finish a paper, you should have found out more than those in the past knew. You are the researcher, really. Well, the same applies to Christianity... to walking with God. Every day, God is doing something new. He is constantly working in all things and through all things. The opportunity before us, as Christians, is to become that newer researcher, the one who seeks Him and searches out the depths of who He is.

I believe that everything we do leads to a knowledge of the Holy One. The catch is, are we willing to seek that knowledge out? Because, if we are, then we will find that God is every where. That knowledge will open us up to the realization that God is pouring out His favor and love over us in all situations.

There is so much to learn. The more we learn, the more we are expected to give. We receive in order that we may pour out.

Scripture
"Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest" Hebrews 3:1

"For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of all things" Hebrews 3:4


Please pray that I would become so selfless, in order for Christ to reign through me in all things. May He become greater & I become less.

To God be the glory forever.

Thankful for: days full of class & homework, sunflowers and Hebrews.

ps- some time last week I was walking a friend of mine back to his dorm. He was in a wreck a while back and was paralyzed from his shoulders down. As he pushed himself down the sidewalk in his wheelchair, I claimed that it was a miracle that he was able to move his arms like that, being paralyzed. He returned with a quick "the miracle is that God changed my heart". His words keep piercing me day after day. I am so comforted with the truth that God changing our hearts is the most miraculous thing that could have ever taken place. My friend and I have a similar story; God rescued us from a life of pitiful seeking and gave us the one thing we did not deserve. Life was awarded through the blood of Jesus. This "ps" is just a reminder that God is in the miracle business. God changing lives is a miracle. God changing a heart of stone into a heart that loves IS a miracle.

Day eighty-nine.

DAY EIGHTY-NINE




early nights with sweet friends & early mornings with the King Himself


Before I say ANYTHING AT ALL... I just want to say THANK YOU LORD FOR SUCH A SWEET DAY ALREADY :)

This morning has been special... it's only 3:40, but it's the best 3:40 ever. Around 1:30 I felt a quickening of the Holy Spirit to wake up and meet with God. It was so sweet. Just being with Him is the most amazing thing ever. How neat? God allows us to fellowship with Him. What an honor.

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” Mark 12:41-44

Reading this passage this morning really blessed me. What a wonderful testimony. This woman gave EVERYTHING she had to live on.... to the Lord. Her faith is beautiful. Of course, I was broken at this... and have asked that God will continue to give me the grace to give my ALL. He deserves it all.

Something He has really impressed upon my heart this morning is that we are forgiven because of Jesus' blood. There is nothing -nothing at all- that I have done to deserve His grace... I never worked for it. But, I now can work in response to His love... and that is what I choose to do. He deserves all.

Well, early morning talk planned with a friend... so I must go :)

One quick story before I leave....
Last night was my first night eating with the Hilbuns! Yiew! Rob warned me before lunch that he would not let me know what we were eating until after we ate :) So, lunch happened and we were all eating a VERY delicious lunch. The "chicken" (I was very aware that it was not chicken) was very yummy... it was kind of rough compared to chicken... but I ate as much of it as I could (the only reason I couldn't finish it had everything to with the fact that I was afraid it would be a delicate animal that didn't deserve eating).... sure enough.... after everyone was finished Rob asked us to play the guessing game... I thought it was something strange like an armidillo and then Rob gave us clue "popular in America around April... in the house"... I couldn't think of any animal that was only popular for a season... then Tara Frasier said "ITS A BUNNY" ... yeah, not a rabbit... a bunny... so at that moment I realized... wow, I just ate a bunny rabbit.... :) it happened... I'm officially thankful for the memory :)

This is going to be a fun semester.

Thankful for: early mornings, school and friends.

Day Eighty-Eight.

DAY EIGHTY-EIGHT

"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place where He prayed" Mark 1:35

wow, how beautiful is our Lord



The following is a journal entry/blog from two days ago... it was written as we headed to Memphis, TN

September 3, 2011
Journal Entry
Blog- Chynna Lee

It is only appropriate to live as if we have been resurrected from the grave. This is simply understood, because we have been resurrected. Before we knew Christ Jesus, we walked in death day after day. The truth is, we longed for life and looked for it in every thing that we participated in.

Instead of being fulfilled, we packed more and more onto our schedules or into our minds in order to find life. Life was shining all around us, but we had no idea how to receive it. The moment we gave up the work and asked for Salvation from all of our wicked ways, God gave us life.

What was a mystery before became revealed. Life was gained through death. Dying completely to self was all that it took. Saying yes to the one who first resurrected from the grave made it possible for us to wake up out of death and into life. All praise to God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ for life.

Because we once walked in darkness and were radically delivered into light, we are to continue in the light. There is no reason to follow the ways we knew before. Instead, we are called to something much higher. Our calling is to let go of everything we once held so dear, those strongholds that killed us day-by-day, and follow The Way with all that we are.

We are able to receive as much of God’s love as we choose. The stretch is, we must receive God’s love. He pours it over us constantly. Are we acknowledging His love? Are we noticing His presence in our lives? If so, we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. This being the case, we also see that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Nothing else even grasps our attention anymore. The ways of the world now make us uncomfortably passionate for God to be glorified.

Those have not yet chosen God to be their all in all will choose Him. It is now or later. Those who choose now, choose to walk in eternity now. Those who say yes to the call on their lives say yes to being citizens of Heaven while still on earth. This means those who walk by faith in the Son of God are not known here, for the world did not even know Him. Those who have failed to accept God as their everything have only failed to see the truth. For He is who He says He is.

As Christians, we can not hesitate to spread the love that has been so graciously given to us. We know the truth of living in God’s presence, we know the satisfaction of His favor, we know the peace that surpasses all understanding, and we have life. Let us share this love, this life, with all that we come in contact with. Regardless of how we feel or what we do/do not feel, let us spread the love of Christ with all that God has given us to minister to.

Being alive means that no matter how unworthy you feel, how unprepared you think you are, what you have done, where you have been, you still choose to look to Him and worship Him (as a lifestyle). It means not focusing on your faults, but looking to His perfection. When we look to God’s strength, instead of our weakness, we are able to overcome all that is before us. His strength is greater than any strength ever, simply because He created strength and no creation is greater than the Creator.

Look to God and see Him for who He is. Focus on His love for you; it has the power to change a broken man into a worshipping warrior. Worship is the key; the key for all things really. Worshipping God as a lifestyle is the only way any man will ever truly be complete, for we were created to worship. Worship is our calling, destiny, purpose, and eternity. Everything comes back to worship. Because you have been set free, choose worship and live.




fast forward to...TODAY

This morning has been beautiful. I have had the most fulfilling, pleasant time with the Lord. All I can say is... meet with Him when He calls your name. If you hear Him, do not harden your hearts. Listening to Him is the sweetest. Thank You, Jesus, for making a way for us to the Father. Amen.

"After me comes the one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie" Mark 1:7 This is a quote from John the Baptist. Reading over it this morning brought me to tears. Look at his humility, his understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ. John the Baptist in no way competed for a name. Instead, he did the opposite and claimed his unworthiness. In the next verse, John the Baptist is the one baptizing Jesus. Wow, what an honor? It is beautiful how God honors the one who humbles himself. Please pray that God's people would humble themselves and lift Jesus higher and higher. That instead of seeking self-glorification, we would work together to bring praise to the name of our Savior. That we would all call out in unity "He must become greater, I must become less". The truth is, humility is key. In all things, humility is key. The lower we are, the higher we are able to see Him. We all know that when we see Jesus for who He is, things change. He holds all power. Lord, let us see that.

"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things" Mark 6:34. My prayer is that we, as God's children, would become compassionate just as Jesus was.

The Word of God is powerful. No matter who you are, where you have been, how you view the Bible, who has taught you... no matter what, YOU NEED TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD. It has the power to save you. Read on.

Be blessed :)

God is here. God is real. God is willing.

Thankful for: Thomasville, prayer, the Bible, the Hilbun's, & fellowship with God Himself.
