God's Guiding Hand

This morning we got up and went out to see if we could find a car that was within our budget. We went out to see what we could find thinking we would check a couple by-here/pay-here places and and see what we could find. The first place we visited (which from what we had looked at online was likely to be our best bet) turned out to be a complete bust. The cars looked nothing like the picture on there website.

          We moved on and was headed to another place we had seen online that had a couple of cars we like. On our way we stopped at another place just because there was a Mercury Sable Wagon that looked very nice. We got there and talked with the salesman Marc about the car. The car just wasn't in our budget. Marc suggest we go talk to Don Brown at Modern Auto. Instead of continuing the direction we were headed we turned around and went back to Modern Auto.

          As we began to work with Don, God began to revile to us that this is where we were to buy a car. When we first arrived and  met Don he said "I'm not your typical car salesman" then he began to explain that we had a couple options "I can give you a list of the cars and prices and let you walk around and deceived which ones you like and want to drive and I'll get you the keys or I can walk with you and show you what I got that might work for you" He said. We had him walk with us. As we went about the process of finding the right car we learned more about Don. After an exchange of   business cards I learned that Don was Pentecostal. While we were test driving a car Don looked at  My profile on Loving church's website and told me how much he related to my story. When his phone rang it played some Scottish folk music, which I happen to listen to often. We got the message God was sending to us and we bought the car and thanked God for providing it to us. I just like to add if your looking for a car go see Don at Modern Auto. This is our 2005 Chevy Impala.

Who's watching me?

In the news theses days you read all about how the NSA is reading all our emails and everything we say on the phone or post on the internet. People are all up in arms about this and say this is wrong. I have decided that it is a good thing. I know what your all thinking this is crazy. I now think this is a gift from God. I have been provided a way to reach people I never would have had a chance to reach. I also get to share the word of God with with people who's only job it is it to read what I write. So I say in every email, text message, and web posting share the world of God. When you talk to your friends and family on the phone share a bible verse.

So to the NSA agent that may have to read this.

John 13:34-35  "I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other just as I loved you.  (35)  All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other."

May God Bless you and keep you safe. Email me if you would like to talk more about the Good news God has for us.

When Life is Overwelming

Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, or months that you feel like no matter what you do life keeps beating you down? People around you say "You to look on the bright side..." or "Well at least it can't get much worse". You think to yourself, "If you know how bad things are right and you saw were things are going for me you would say that.". I've Been there before. Just yesterday I was driving to the store when the transmission on my car went out without warning. I was at a stop sign press on the ground and it sounded like my transmission had just fallen out of the car. I had to walk home about a mile in the hot humid evening in Florida. As I was walking home I could have been saying "Why God did you let this happen to me?" but I didn't. I was thanking him that it didn't happen when we were on a trip to one of our parents houses. I know your thinking the this is no where close to what you are going through. Well Ill tell you I was at the point where I was ready to end my life because I though there was nothing left to live for. It was at that time that I got done on my knees and prayed. and I truly gave up control of my life to God. this was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life.

In the words of David if you surrender your will to God you will be blessed

Psalms 23:1-6 KJV  A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.  (2)  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  (3)  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  (4)  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  (5)  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.  (6)  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

This is the hard part knowing when your listening to Gods voice and not doing what you think God would want you to do.

In John 10:24-30 ERV  Jesus is taliking "The Jewish leaders gathered around him. They said, "How long will you make us wonder about you? If you are the Messiah, then tell us clearly."  (25)  Jesus answered, "I told you already, but you did not believe. I do miracles in my Father's name. These miracles show who I am.  (26)  But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.  (27)  My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.  (28)  I give my sheep eternal life. They will never die, and no one can take them out of my hand.  (29)  My Father is the one who gave them to me, and he is greater than all. No one can steal my sheep out of his hand.  (30)  The Father and I are one."

You notice in Verse 27 Jesus says "My sheep know my voice" . God talks to all of us everyday, we just have to learn to listen to him.
