Praise Our God, For He Is Good

My heart was touched tonight after talking with a friend from camp. Him and his girlfriend created a website stating their faith in Jesus Christ and proclaiming that our God is an awesome God. It's such a beautiful site and I know it's going to touch a lot of lives. With their spirit in their high school, so many people will meet God and I think that is so incredible. Please check out their website and keep them in your prayers.

God is everlasting and ever present. He blows my mind everyday. I thank Him for his patience with me. My plans for this year are very challenging and at times I'm feeling like giving up. Giving up already and it hasn't even been a month. It's just hard to think about Him every moment of every day when I live in such a wrecked and broken world. Hate and sin just fill the air around me, and a lot of the time it overwhelms me. When I remember Jesus though, it's a beautiful feeling of calmness and relief and peace. As long as I can remember to think of Jesus and His commitment to me, I know I can return the commitment and continue to grow into the Christian I want to be.

B: Being
U: Under
S: Satan
Y: Yolk

dont ever give up. thats exactly what the devil wants. fact is he does exist & he is the god of lies. he will use anything he can to get you down & away from the calling on your life

USE YOUR VOICE .... we have power over the devil ... talk to him .. introduce your god to the devil .. be like "devil you have no right in my life becuase i am a child of god" etc ... it realyl works

i am going to be posting a blog about this soon so look for it lol

God Bless

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
