Choose This Day…

Our “ending” is dependent upon the choices we make today. Don’t give up because of bad choices you made in your past. Today is a NEW DAY! What direction do you want your life to take? Where do you want to end up? Make choices that will lead you there step-by-step. And God is ready and more than able to help you along the way! You are not alone! Take the first step! ❤️I love you! Your Sister in Christ, Tina

I AM THANKFUL!

I am thankful!! I had a confrontation with my bathroom wall at 3:00am Tuesday morning. Immediately after, the swelling was as big as a tennis ball! Kinda scary… but the swelling went down quickly with the application of ice several times.

I am thankful! No bones broken around my eye…no damage to my eye itself…and my nose was not hit! (Those of you that know my “nose history” understand the relief).

I am thankful! The swelling is almost gone completely this morning. The Lord is using this to squeeze out more of my preoccupation with my appearance. I had a decision to make – sit at home and wait out the healing of the bruising – which I have heard could take many weeks. OR, continue with my daily commitments and get my mind off of myself and back on where it belongs – on the Lord and His kingdom purposes. ❤️

I am thankful! Lord, continue to mold and shape me into the vessel that You can use in love and power in Your kingdom. Continue to call me up higher…and not be overwhelmed with earthly things.

Thank You, Lord!!

TRANSFORMATION!

Okay, Church, we are just going to have to face it! We can’t stay the same. For some this will be good news…and for some it will not be what they want to hear. Change can be scary… it can be messy…but it is necessary in order to be who God desires for us to be.

Ahhh… my dear friends, kingdom living is about transformation…transformation individually and transformation corporately. I pray that each of us will embrace this transformation – not in the future, but NOW!

LET IT GO!!

What things do we need to let go of in order to make room for the new? Are we holding onto regret, shame, anger, fear, or hurt? Are we holding onto unforgiveness? May we allow God to heal us and help us to release all of those things holding us back.

May we move forward with a lightness to our step; a clear heart and mind; and an excitement for the new encounters that are waiting along our journey! Praying for your new stepping stones that are waiting along your path!! 👣👣👣

The Mark of an Effective Church…

I have posted the pic below before in years past…but I think it is a reminder that we need to keep ever before us.

If we truly come to church with a heart of worship and a desire to hear from Him…how can we not be changed!

We are assured in His Word that He is there with us as we gather together. May we be sensitive to His presence!

May we gather in our churches in Jesus Name and not for any other reason. It’s all about JESUS! And when we get our focus in the right place…everything else will fall into place.

“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬)
