Jealous of a Season It is strange when you are jealous Of a Season. How can you be? Does it really take things away From you? You never think about it this way but it's true. Think about Fall. It takes people Away from us to go hunting. They Are gone every weekend. They are Out with their guy friends. Their Love is going towards the deer. That's the only think on their mind. It is their other love and passion. Yet it's hard to be mad at them Because at the same time, they Are providing for you. It could be A lot worse. You can't show them That you are jealous. You just Have to love them for who they Are and all of their flaws. The jealous feeling comes and Goes too. It's always hard at the Start of the season but by the End you will get use to it again. You will be thankful for the Days you have alone. That is Why it's called, "jealous of a Season". Written By: Tiffney Wilson Written On: November 22,...

Dear Daddy,           You have us both on roundabouts. Those are the journeys You care about and so should we. We both have a story of our own to finish before we are promised to each other if it's Your Will for our lives. It's along one for sure. I just wanted to pray for my future husband's need of You to grow stronger everyday and because of that need that he will become more intimate with You. I don't want him to go apart from You. I want him to draw closer to You and live a full and satisfying life with You. We are both learning of the story. The pictures of life are always unfolding. Sometimes the things we love the most aren't part of the puzzle that we need to be living in that moment. Maybe there are other things we need to start paying more attention too? Maybe there are things that we need to fix because we messed it up in the past? Maybe we need to get off that roundabout or actually let that puzzle piece fit together like it is suppose?   ...

The View Underneath Heaven  Sometimes I wonder why the world would look like in Heaven. I wonder what God sees when He looks down. I wonder what the people passed on before us sees when they look down. I wonder what the view is like underneath Heaven. Is the world in a mess and just looks like a big, messy blob? Does everything in it look broken and disordered? Does it look like everyone is going every which way? That's how it looks like if you are actually living on it. Or does it look this way? Does it look like a masterpiece of art like a painting? Is everything in it fixed and together? Is every one following the same path? That's what we want it to look like in our own way. There is One Way that can look as white and pure as snow. It's not our way at all. It has already been done too so really this is what it looks like especially to God. It looks like His own Son getting busied and beaten.It looks like His Son get mocked. Looked like His So...

            "We use signs of life to measure health."  "Jesus Christ is the Source of Life and not just any life but enteral life."             This was last Saturday night's sermon but I thought it really fit me. I needed to hear it over and over. Even though I am not on anxiety meds. anymore because I had this feeling that things weren't going my way and that I was to dependent on them, this message really hit home for me. It is crazy how the people of today think. They think that meds., diets, oils, and other things is all they need to get and stay healthy. While that might be true for our bodies, let's not get the two confused. I think I got the two confused. Yes, my body needs to be taken care of but not the way I thought it did. I was anxious and worried because my spiritual life wasn't with God's plans.            During the last months before I stopped the meds. on my own, I was ...

            I know this past week God has been reminding me of one thing that I am thankful for and that is a missed opportunity that I could of had but didn't and He showed me the reason. He showed me that His Plans were better then mine. This past week was the week that I could have gone on another mission trip to Honduras with my church but God had other plans for me instead of that. God answered my long time prayers of getting another full time job. Yet I'm still waiting to start it and for it to be finalized, it is an answer to prayer.            This might be a short entry but it is one that will be filled with hope and inspiration or that is what I am hoping for at least. If I did go on that trip to Honduras, then I wouldn't have been able to have an interview and get the job that I have now. I would still be stress about making enough money and my life choices. The interview was this past Tuesday and they called Weds.,...

                   "It is that moment that you chose not to be real(Love)that you will be like all the others and you worked too hard a n d gave up too much to be like the others. It is that moment that you remember it is all for Jesus."  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's all about You, Jesus."-Heart of Worship ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 John 5:3-4 New International Version (NIV) 3  In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.  And his commands are not burdensome,   4  for everyone born of God  overcomes  the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                 This saying is something that I came up with while trying to encourage a friend of mine this pat week. My friend was...

              The title might sound crazy and that it isn't coming from me at all but there are times where ideas for these entries come from other people and other situations in life. I learn from other people and those people are encourages me with or without knowing it at times. You also might think that this entry is messed up because of the comparison I am going to be making but again it will make sense just in a strange way.                Forgetting to clean your gun at times can be compared to forgetting to clean out or guard your heart or even checking it at times. There are signs for both and to do both things right and get a good outcome. For the gun, you want to be able to shoot what you are aiming at and hit it. For the heart, you want to be able to love and do it well to the people around you. If you forget to do something as little as clean the gun or put the bullets in, then it won't work right. ...

Daniel 2:20-23 New International Version (NIV) “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;      wisdom and power  are his. 21  He changes times and seasons;      he deposes  kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom  to the wise      and knowledge to the discerning. 22  He reveals deep and hidden things;      he knows what lies in darkness,      and light  dwells with him. 23  I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:      You have given me wisdom  and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you,      you have made known to us the dream of the king. ” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Psalm 119:130 New International Version (NIV) 130  The unfolding of your words gives light;      it gives understanding to the s...

1 John 4:7-21 The Message (MSG) God Is Love 7-10  My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God  is  love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God. 11-12  My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love! 13-16  This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, ...

               It is hard trying to decide what entry I want to write in each weekend but this one has been on my mind and I don't think I have wrote one like this before. I was thinking that I have but I just think I was going to and never did. I feel like God keeps bring this idea back to me so I am finally going to write about it and if I already did then it is just twice as important and that is what God is showing me. Have you ever been praying something for years or months and God told you to change how you were praying? Have you ever prayed something and thought it wasn't working so you changed it but then changed back because you wanted something more? Well, I have and it has changed a lot of things.                 I know I was actually going to do a entry that was called "Praying and Believing" but I deleted it awhile back because I thought I was done with those thoughts but I feel like God has be...
