Pray the Hardest, when it is the hardest to pray

What Are You Rushing Back To? What part of normal are you  rushing back to?  Are you rushing make just to  make money? Are you rushing  back because you are tried of being at home? We are asking these questions but these  questions are not what we should  be asking at all.  Use this time to think about  what is more important to  rush back to and why. It is more important to go  get your nails done? Is it more  important to go eat out? Is it  more important to get you hair  cut? Are those things more normal to you?  They might have been normal to you before this whole virus started. But have you consider  these things while you were  made to stay home? Are they  still really that important to  you or have your thoughts  change since you have been  home? Are there other things  that you wish you could make  normal a...

Dear Daddy,             Turn me into a minister at heart. Keep opening people's heart around to hear You through me. I love talking scriptures with people. Talking about what You are teaching me through them. Let me pray with people too. That would seal the deal for me. Maybe I do need to say some prayers out loud? Be the example. Show people that they can just talk to You without knowing what to say. Give me the courage to do that much. I want to do ministry and have the heart to do it so push me I pray. I know it's dangerous but still do it. Daddy, I love you, too.  In Christ's name,  Amen

           Well, I thought I better get this entry done before I go things open back up on May 4th, if they are going to. I want to say that even though this time might be hard and really busy for some, it was calm and fun for me. Just because I say that I am not taking away from the serious of it all. I am just telling you how I turned it around for me. Giving you ideas maybe and seeing it could possibly be a good time if we let it. That's my main goal because if you know me I could have turned this whole thing into a big anxiety attack/fit. To be honest, earlier on in life I would have.              Here we go: I have started going deeper into 2 new hobbies, spent time with my parents, spent time with God in a new Bible study, spent time with my boyfriend, and looked at it has a time to relax. First one I'm going to talk is spend time with my parents and boyfriend at the same time. My boyfriend and I went up to my parent...

           Here is the sermon that my parents' church taught us this morning. It was really insightful and meaningful to me. Really showed me another way that God really does love me. It was about Jesus being the bridegroom for all of us. He also used old Jewish wedding traditions back during Jesus' time to explain the relationship Jesus wants to have with us.  Here are the verses: -Gen. 2:19-24           -Main verse used in this part was: verse 24 -Luke 5:22-27 Here is a link you can go to to read about an old Jewish wedding: https://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/revelation/related-topics/the-jewish-wedding-analogy.html -Jesus brought us with a cost, aka the cross, just like a husband brought a wife.  -Jesus left His 11 "friends" after 40 days. -Jesus is preparing a place for us in His House. -Jesus will come back after our place is ready to get us.  -How does the bride wait for her bridegroom?     ...

            I've thought about it and seen a lot of posts on Facebook about how yes, this is a hard week for America but it was for Jesus too. It was also hard for his disciples. The more I think about it the more I can't help but think all of this is God's Timing for something. We might not know why this is happening now but we will in the future. Now which future I don't know.               There is hope through Jesus. I strongly believe that is what this whole sickness is teaching is or one of the many things. When things get bad, we have to know that there is hope at the end of the tunnel.                This is the week that Jesus went through the hard things and the worst things before hope came to us. Jesus was betrayed and arrest. He went before the council and his best friend, Peter, denied Him three times. Then, He was delivered to Pilate and he delivered Jesus to be c...

Let us Pray.  Eternal Father, You made the whole world stop spinning for awhile. You silenced the noise that we all have created You made us bend our knees  again and ask for a miracle.  You closed Your churches so we will realize how dark our world is without You in it.  You humble the proud  and powerful.  The economy is crashing, businesses are closing.  We were very proud, we thought that everything  we have, everything we  possess was the result of  our hardwork.  We have forgotten that it was always Your grace and mercy that made us who we are.  We’re like running in circles looking for some cure to this disease but in fact it takes humility to ask for Your wisdom.  We’ve been living our lives like  we will be here on earth forever, like there’s no heaven. Maybe these trials are Your  mercy in disguise.  Maybe this virus is actually  Your way of purifying us,  cleansing our soul, bringing...

        I am not posting it as a potical anything. I am posting it and hoping that people will use this prayer as outline to start praying really hard for the things that we need to pray for in this moment in time.            Instead of praying for my family even though they need it, pray for people you know on the front lines or just those kind of people in general. Pray for the nursing home. Pray for our nation and government.            JUST PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what will get us through! Dear Daddy,         I have to admit it now. I am really scared. After reading about everyone wearing a mask I am scared. Is it time? Would the President and government really make that a rule?            I'm scared for my family. I have a sister as a nurse, another sister is a teacher, my big brother and his family lives in New Jersey, my little brother is...
