Fickle emotions ...

"If we base our walk with Christ on our fickle emotions, we will not walk in divine victory. Emotions are a poor thermometer to measure God. But if we base our walk with Christ on what God's Word says, we will experience one victory after another! Victory does not depend on "HOW I FEEL." Victory depends on "WHAT GOD HAS SAID."
I stand on God's Word and God's Word causes me to stand!"

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But dont forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20% the world's oxygen supply.
The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than
one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh
water out of the ocean. The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than
the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the
flow of all rivers in the United States
Antarctica
Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country.
Ninety percent of the world's ice covers Antarctica. This ice also represents
seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world. As strange as it sounds,
however, Antarctica is essentially a desert. The average yearly total
precipitation is about two inches Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it,
i.e.), Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with an absolute humidity
lower than the Gobi desert.
Brazil

His love is more than awesome ...

It's raining now - I love to hear the rain falling - such a beautiful sound.
This morning I was out walking on the walking trail in the park behind my house. There is one part of the trail that is pretty steep - you have to huff and puff more to get up it especially in this hot muggy weather we're having in northern Alabama. But there is a stand of tall pine trees about halfway up this steep part of the trail and just knowing these shadows are there and a little coolness makes it easier to finish the hill and then this morning as I reached the peak of the hill and a wonderful cooling breeze hit me - it was so nice and now going downhill was the easy part even if it was in the full blazing sun.
Today was a little different - God giving me insights as I walked this hill - a hill that I've walked for over 2 years now - showing me as I walked in the shade of the pine trees - that I was always under the shadow of His wings and in His protection - and it was refreshing and restful and gave me strength to go on - to 'fear not' what was ahead or be discouraged - to finish what He had started in me - whether in the midst of a battle or impending battle no matter how hot or what conditions are going on around me - to be focused on the narrow path before me - to complete the race so to speak.
But then when I got to the peak of the hill and that breeze enveloped me - the wind of the Spirit - that ruwach breath of God - to feel His touch on me - so rewarding - the peace - the love - the joy of it - words cannot convey. It was all worth it - the preparations, the sweating, the lack of comfort, the heat, pressing in, staying focused, the battle ... knowing He is always with me to strengthen and encourage and refresh and give me rest - He knowing the end before I even began - knowing He chose me (even if I don't understand why) - knowing I would walk in the Son (sun) and the Son always being with me - never to leave me nor forsake me.
Anyway, it's good to have on the full armor of God and to walk with the Son - depending on His strength not your own to get us through. I trust in Him more and more - moment by moment. His love is more than awesome.

What would I do if it wasn't for You?
Where would I be if You hadn't saved me?
I would be nowhere
I would be nothing
I would be shoveling coal in hell for eternity
That's where I would be!!

Open it
Open it
It's yours - for the taking
Just receive it
No conditions

Points ...

A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in."
"Okay," the man says, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart."
"That's wonderful," says St. Peter, "that's worth three points!"
"Three points?" he says. "Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my tithe and service."
"Terrific!" says St. Peter. "That's certainly worth a point."
"One point?!!" "I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans."
"Fantastic, that's good for two more points," he says.
"Two points!?!!" Exasperated, the man cries. "At this rate the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God."
"Bingo, 100 points! Come on in!"

A fountain of great joy ...

"Prayer time can become for me a wonder of God's
goodness and a fountain of great joy."
"I was created in Christ to pray.
It is my nature as a child of God."
"God's Spirit has been sent into my heart to
draw it up to God in childlike faith."
"There can be no communion with a
Holy God, no fellowship between heaven
and earth, unless I set apart time for it."
"God's Word supplies me with material for prayer
and encourages me in expecting His will."

- "is a place to come to when you've been damaged or beaten by the storms of life - it's a place of rest, refuge, and restoration - for a time - to receive healing or repair damages, and rest - in the Father's arms - no camping out here indefinitely - it will soon be time to get back out there and be about the Father's business. Yes, you can minister broken but how much more and better can you serve if you are restored and whole?"
