I need warm weather!!!
Well it seems like this winter keeps going and going. Some day it will warm up again. I hope!!! Well we have a new addition to the family. Alexia was born on January 10th. Weighing in at 7lbs and 12 oz. Isn’t God so awesome. I just love watching her and seeing God through her. Well I’ve been drilling my son on what love is lately. It seems that kids at his school have that love issue. There making fun of other kids because the way they talk or look. So I brought up to him about that we need to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Hinting to him that we need to love ourselves first. Then loving his neighbor won’t be a problem. When we make fun of a person because the way they look or talk. You’re just letting everyone know that you don’t love your self that much. We need to realize that God is in all of us. He made each one of us in His image. So in short to love yourself. You are loving God to the fullest. When you love God. You are full of love. because God is Love. So let’s stop and search our hearts. To see where we need more of God. When we do. We will be full of God’s kind of Love.

There's someone waiting for you!!!
I have to give credit to my parents for taking me to church. Because of them I was able to get saved. Now I get to live my life in heaven. Some of you might have been influenced by a neighbor, friend, relative, or just showing up in church. All of us are grateful for those people taking time out of there lives to influence us. A life changing experience. That changed our lives forever. Now it's time to pay it forward. It's time to pick out a person in your life to change. It might be someone you know or don't know. It doesn't matter. Someone years ago did it for you. See how it changed your life, and now it's time to do it for someone else. Be that person that changes lives. Be a life changer for Christ. It's easy to do nothing, and that is what you'll get out of it. Nothing!! When you do something you will reap the rewards of it. Just think. When you get someone saved. All of Heaven rejoices. That has to be an awesome sound. So let's get heaven into a party mode. Where it's a non-stop rejoicing. So this week. Take time out of your life and get into someone else's.

Don't Hold Back!!! God Doesn't!!
Don’t hold back! God doesn’t!
We run through our lives with up and downs. We go one way than the other. To find that we are no closer getting to our destination than before. Kind of sounds like the Israelites. They were in the desert for 40 years. None of the original never found there destination. Only the 2 that believed made it to the other side. God never said life was going to be easy. Look at the people in the bible. Joseph didn’t have it easy. David didn’t have it easy. Actually they had it rougher than any of us will. God did say, He’ll give us the answers to everything. He has given us the ability and skills to do the things He’s asked us to do. The thing is that most of us shy away from what God is telling us to do. We convince ourselves that there is no possible way that I could do that. Even though His word says that we can do all things!! It doesn’t say some things it says all things. God doesn’t hold back on us. So we shouldn’t hold back on Him. He’s a father that wants us to succeed, and not to fail. Even though you might think you can’t do what God is telling you. You actually can, and you will succeed at it. Because God is telling you to do it. You just have to step out in faith and go for it. We need to stop saying I can’t, or there’s no way that I could. We need to start to talk like God does. I can and I will do it. I won’t only do it. I will flourish and succeed above all others at it. We need to start believing in ourselves like God does. Our God always gives us confidence in every thing that He tells us to do. I’m not saying it will be easy just because God told you to do it. I will tell you. If you do go through rough times. God will always be there. Encouraging you through it all and through it all your faith will flourish. When God tells us to do something. He wants us to lean on him, and not our own emotions. So let’s stop kicking ourselves for not doing something, and start doing those things. Let’s see those things flourish for God!!!

New Addition
How awesome is our God!! Our God is the Father of life and not death. How special children are. They are a gift from God. Everyday I look at my children and thank God for giving them to us. I'm able to see the love of God at work in my children, and there gifts starting to mature. God has trusted my wife and I on raising these children in a Godly home. To instruct them in good manors, honor, loyalty, virtues, and His word. In which we are doing. Now God has blessed us again. We are adding to this family. We found out this last week that we will be having another child. Isn't God great. Another vision of God coming into this family. On top of that. Another me coming into this world. This world is soooo lucky. Can't wait to see what God has in mind with this new child of ours. Thank you God for blessing us again. We will raise this child up as you instruct, because this child is yours. Not ours. You have just in trusted us to raise him. In that we will do to the fullest!! Thanks God.

Lover of Money
1 Timothy 6:6-10
6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
This scripture is so important in this time of day. Where more and more people are striving for money. Than striving after God. This scripture isn't talking about sinners, but Christians. As we turn on the TV and watch one pastor to the next asking for more and more money. Which is nothing wrong with it. A church needs to survive and run things. It's when they get off. They say by sending in 100.00 you'll get your healing, or miracle. Which is far from the Truth. There mind is on money and not the will of God. They are no longer scriptural based.
This scripture states we need to be satisfied with what we have. We shouldn't worry about what other people have, or seek after what other people have. We also shouldn't take a job just because it makes more money either. If it isn't in God's plan and you take the job. Then you are out of God's will. God's word says that he will always supply our needs. So don't worry about it. He will supply our needs. He's always has and always will take care of His people.
Don't get caught up with the worldly hunger for more things. Don't fall into the temptation to charge things. When you fall into the worldly things you will surely fall. You will find that instead of those things making you happy it will make you stressed out. That's exactly what happens when you start to love money and things. You loose the Joy of Christ, and you bring on worries and stress. That's exactly were the devil wants you.
We find these kind of stories throughout the bible. When they did the things of God. They had comfort and peace, but when they got off. They had doubt, stress, and destruction. We need to stay focused on the real issue at hand. That is what God wants us to do. When we do we can't go wrong. God will always provide.
Love the message version of this scripture:
6-8A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough.
9-10But if it's only money these leaders are after, they'll self-destruct in no time. Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after.

Living a Life of Joy
Some days it is so hard to be happy. A person might wake up with a grumpy attitude, or it just doesn't start off right. That is the time that we need to put our flesh under. God is a God of love. He's love inside and out. So where God is there is Joy and happiness. As long as we listen to our flesh. The further we get from that joy. So when your flesh puts you in a bad mood. We need to tell our flesh that we aren't going there. We have to make the choice to be joyful. Even though we might not fill like it. When we make that choice God will enter in with his love and start to change our attitude. So don't be a crab. Be a joy to be around.
