Jesus take the wheel

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f] because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g] (which means “God with us”).

Sunday August 26, 2012

A day of Thanksgiving and Marvel at your Love for us. Thank you for the morning service and Pastor Sonja. Lord, I do want to lift Alyssa up in prayer though, I pray that she has eyes to see you and ears to hear you. And that Grace and I know how to influence her in positive ways. Truly believing that your Love Will Conquer all of this evil. Thank you for guiding me right to our free parking place and Thank you for the Gift of your son from Bethel U. who gave up his seat on (what was a longer bus ride than i remember) His Kindness will not be forgotten. Forgive me for losing patience with Grace a few times throughout the day yesterday, I pray that I stood my ground enough for her to realize she does need to be thankful for all that she has and not pout about what she does not. A good reminder to me as well. Thank you for Pastor Jeff, for Aubra and for The Story. Looking forward to diving into this book of The Greatest Story ever told.

"Even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Rend you heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity." (Joel 3:12-13)

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18 NIV)

Til I am wholly lost in thee. Lord you have my heart and I will search for yours.

You Never Walk Alone

Yesterdays sermon was about reaching out to God and others in times of struggles. You Never Walk Alone You never walk alone my friend Though you may think you do, For in your sorrow and despair God always walks with you There is no hour, no passing day He is not by your side, and though unseen he still is there To be your friend and guide. Whene'er you think you walk alone Reach out and you will find, The hand of God to show the way And bring you peace of mind. Harold F. Mohn Amen.

Praise be to you Oh Lord My God! I long to sing your Praises all day! Thank you for your abundant Love and care and Grace!

Your promises

I will never leave you nor forsake you. Thank you oh Lord My God

Isaiah 33: 2-6

² Lord, be gracious to us;
    we long for you.
Be our strength every morning,
    our salvation in time of distress. 
³ At the uproar of your army, the peoples flee; 
    when you rise up, the nations scatter.
⁴ Your plunder, O nations, is harvested as by young locusts; 
    like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.

⁵ The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high; 
    he will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness. 
⁶ He will be the sure foundation for your times,
    a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
    the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.^[a]

Your Mercies ARE new each morning

I Love you My Lord My God with ALL of My Heart, My Mind, My Body and My Soul.
Please Show me the way I should GO, for to you I lift up my soul!
Amen!

Run from your old life into the arms of your Savior and Don't Ever Look Back.

God, You are My God

And I will Ever Praise You.
I will Seek you in the morning
And i will Learn to Walk in your ways
And step by step you lead me
and I will follow you All of my days!

Thank you Lord for another Glorious morning. Thy Will Be Done, Oh Lord My God.
