Changing Lives!

What a day! I have 4 kids this morning all under the age of 5 years old the youngest 5 months. Wow! It’s been a challenge 2 of the kids are my on whom I have everyday which is awesome. The other 2 are a friends and they are being great! I always said I wanted lots of kids so I’m getting a taste of having 4 small ones running around. I’ve worked with kids at Church along time and I believe I have learned more from them than anyone else. They have no worries and a very free will! We should be more like children Jesus said that! Today I will be talking about things I learned from quiet time this morning and I learn in my everyday life. Enjoy! I hope this challenges you. It challenged me! Changing lives and making a difference! Sounds hard but its not! Sit back take a deep breathe and think who has made an impact in your life? What is it they do that seems to make a huge difference? It may be something as small as a smile everyday when you go into work or as big as someone watching your kids for you to have a DATENIGHT!!!! Yes DATENIGHT it’s very important but that’s another blog for another time. Sometimes we may not realize the impact and are not aware of the difference we make! I encourage you to get involved in your community. If you are currently a member of a church get involved don’t sit on the sidelines and warm the bench! The Coach (Jesus) wants you in the Game! Smile even when you don’t feel like it. Your smile may be the only one someone sees all day! If you are blessed financially and know someone struggling help them out don’t just pray for them! It may be your neighbor or someone else! The money is not yours anyway! There is no greater feeling than serving someone. It feeds your soul. I’m not just talking to the Christians either if you don’t have a relationship with Jesus serving may be what he uses to draw you to him! If you are not a believer I’m telling you to get involved! You may be living in sexual sin, abusing drugs and alcohol using things to feel that void in your life. I know because I’ve been there I am going to get personal with you. Before Jesus saved me I was addicted to alcohol, drugs, and pornography I tried to use those things to make me happy but they didn’t they almost destroyed me! I’m telling you, you’re not the only one who has issues! I’m also telling you. You don’t have to live like that anymore! I don’t know your problems or your issues but I do know a Sinless man who was 33 years old went to the cross and paid the penalty for your sins. We were separated from God and God sent his only son to die for us so that we may have life to the FULL! He was beaten spit on and think about this for a minute nailed to the cross NAILED! For you and I. Then he rose out of a borrowed tomb. You see it was borrowed he wasn’t going to need it but 3 days! That’s awesome! I want you to look back over your life and remember a time where you asked Jesus to come into your Life and make you brand new, you told him you are a sinner and you need forgiveness! If you can’t think of a time the time is now. I would not normally do this but I feel I need to. I want you to pray right now no matter where you’re at DEAR LORD JESUS I ADMIT I AM A SINNER AND I NEED YOUR FORGIVENESS. I BELIEVE YOU DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE AGAIN AND IM ASKING YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE AND MAKE ME BRAND NEW. WASH AWAY ALL MY SINS. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD I WILL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE THANK YOU JESUS AMEN! If you prayed that prayer right now there is a party going on in Heaven in your name! I would like to help you get involved on taking your next step. If you prayed that prayer I would love to here from you through a comment, an e-mail. I will mail you a Bible if you don’t have one. Jesus is REAL! Have a great day!
