Right now I seem to be stuck on this song by Todd Agnew!!!

HOLY

Holy, holy, God almighty,
Who was and is to come
God of holy, You’re so worthy
All the saints bow down

Holy is your name in all the earth
Righteous are Your ways, so merciful
Everything You’ve done is just and true
Holy, holy God are You

All blessings, all honor belongs to You
All power, all wisdom is Your

Even though it seems like you've been swimming upstream or perhaps walking through Jell-O, keep pushing. Your extreme efforts to break through will pay off. The test is whether or not you will give up in the face of adversity. You have heard the adage, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." And, I say to you that you may not feel tough or equal to the task, but you must remember that My strength is made perfect in your weakness. Let Me come along side you to carry the burden, says the Lord. Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and
The Lord's Prayer
are not allowed in most
public schools anymore
Because the word 'God' is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached

NEW School prayer:
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, organge or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
Adn pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They'ved outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgements' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

Challenges abound, but My grace does much more abound! Meet every challenge with the assurance that I am with you to bring you through to victory. Do not be afraid. Refuse to allow these demands to cause you to stall out, but rather take everything in stride as you trust Me to provide the strength, wisdom and resources that you need to overcome in your struggle, says the Lord. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 15:4- 7 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

YOUR ENEMY IS STANDING ON YOUR GOD-GIVEN GROUND DARING YOU TO TAKE POSSESSION OF IT.

I will sing to You, Lord, for You are highly exalted. The horse and its rider You have hurled into the sea! You, are my strenght and my song. You have become my salvation. You are my God and I will praise You.
You, Lord, are a warrior! The Lord is Your name! (Exod. 15:1-3)
Your right hand, O God, is majestic in power. Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy. In the greatness of Your majesty, You will throw down those who oppse You. You will unleash Your burning anger. It will consume them like stubble (Exod. 15:6-7)
You are the Great I AM. This is Your name forecer! (Exod. 3:14-15). My enemy cannot begin to stand against You.

My dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
~ 1 Corinthians 15:58

I know we often think that what we do are useless and we often say why bother! But I encourage you to bother, to persist; to encourage and nag if you have to for it could mean life or death to that person who truly needs the Lord, or a fresh renewal from the Lord. I was listening to this song on line this morning by Todd Agnew I'm sure many of you have heard it.

It's called Grace Like Rain ~ I love the part that says Hallelujah grace like rain falls down on me, Hallelujah all my stains are washed away.

How true that it! Our stains are washed away when we ask for forgiveness and repent of our sins they are washed away into the sea of forgetfulness! This means the Lord doesn't remember your sins!!!! Our stains have been washed away!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!! It is us who condemns ourselves even though we have repented and we feel ashamed and so unworthy. That is what satin wants us to believe. But if we would believe in our hearts and know without a shadow of doubt that 'YES' in fact our stains have been washed away and we have been set free by the blood of the LAMB!! Then you should not and will not hold yourself in condemnation, guilt, shamefulness, pity, and guilt!

I say RISE UP my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus and become the woman and men that Christ has called us to be. Get out there winning souls for the Kingdom of Heaven! The Lord never said it was going to be easy; however HE didn't bring us this far to leave us! He says, 'HE will NEVER leave us nor FORSAKE us'. He is always with us right there edging us on cheering us on to finish the race He has set before us!

Do things happen? YES! Do we get weary & tired? YES! Do we get side tracked and loose site/hope? YES! But you see that’s the beauty of it all. No matter how much we mess up and get side track the Lord is ‘ALWAYS’ there with open arms waiting for us to return home back to Him. He loves us with an unconditional love. What can wash away my sins? NOTHING but the BLOOD OF JESUS!!! What can make me whole again? NOTING but the BLOOD OF JESUS!!!! Oh, how precious is that Blood, that makes me white as snow, no other fount I know NOTHING but the BLOOD OF JESUS!!!

It’s his Blood that makes us white as snow! He is the ALPHA & OMEGA!!! There is nothing holding you back but you, your selfish desires, so what do I say? Stop being so darn selfish and get on board with the Blood that WASHES YOU WHITE AS SNOW. Allow self to die and rise in Christ Jesus, time is too short He’s coming back for a pure spotless bride. Will you be ready?

Believe me this is for me too as I am typing and writing my mind is turning and thinking and repenting of things now as we speak! Will you be ready? I know I want to be ready it is our jobs, our duty to bring as many into the kingdom of heaven that we can.

For His Kingdom :)

Okay so as if yesterday wasn't hard enough! Today I woke up 10 minutes to 6.... OUCH and I have to be at work at 6 am... needless to say I was an hour late considering it takes me an half hour to get to work to begin with....

TJ is home sick today ~ I just think he doesn't care to go to school and deal with homework... LOL but then again I have been running him ragged all over the place making him do things he really doesn't want to do...LOL But then what mother doesn't care about the well being of their kids right. Not that I make him do god forbidden things. It's just things he doesn't car to do because 'MOM' ask him to do it. If it was him doing it on his own he would have done it... HE always says he has so much fun doing it anyways....LOL

Romello was in a bad mood yesterday ~ UGH don't know what his problem was but I just callled home to talk with him (making sure he's up for school...LOL) He seems to be in a better mood! ~ he's singing this morning....LOL that's always a good thing!!!
Chow for now!

The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
~Zephaniah 3:17

Just Think,

YOU'RE HERE NOT BY CHANCE, BUT BY GOD'S CHOOSING. HIS HAND FORMED YOU AND MADE YOU THE PERSON YOU ARE. HE COMPARES YOU TO NO ONE ELSE - YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND. YOU LACK NOTHING THAT HIS GRACE CAN'T GIVE YOU. HE HAS ALLOWED YOU TO BE HERE AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY TO FULFILL HIS SPECIAL PURPOSE FOR THIS GENERATION.

My thought for the day!!!

Wow this is only the 3rd week of January and I've already received enogh bad news to last a life time.... Welcome to the New Year '2008' has come in with a Slam Dunk!! and I'm sure it will end with a BANG!
Although we've received so many bad news there has been so many blessings to follow thru. It's amazing if you really sit and think and look at all the wonderful things God is doing and will continue to do in our lives. I have so many of my friends who have been attacked by satin and didn't even know if they were going to make it however when God shows up - satin runs :) No weapon formed agains me shall prosper... Hallelujah!!!
I personally have noticed that when I keep my eyes on the Lord NO Matter what goes on in my life or what the devil throughs at me I 'ALWAYS' get a blessing behind it. It's only when I take my eyes off the Lord and get into a whinning stage and feeling sorry for myself is when things go wrong and I find no hope!
Praise God that his word says he'll NEVER leave us nor FORSAKE up!!!

Amen!
