Duties:

As christians we really have many duties that we must fulfill.  We all have "our" daily lives that we do on a daily basis and we can easily get caught up in those things. Let see, I just recently had a baby so I am still  adjusting to this new schedule.  But do you understand that as christians there are no excuses. We aren't too busy and we can always get something done, that is important to us.  It is all about priorities and what we consider to actually follow through it.  A thought constantly runs through my  head that we get so wrapped into our routines that we can easily miss signs from God and people that we are supposed to minister to.  There is so much that we can do if we just sit down and make everything fit.  The enemy wants us to get so busy with ourselves and wrapped up with our own familes that we just forget about everyone else and the world, and the absolute God honest truth is that  we are made here for Jesus and to become disciples for him and to minster to others to save lost souls.  Think and ask yourself this on a weekly basis how many people are you able to meet and minster to?  I can honestly say in my life it could be alot better.  I am around the same people and it is time to start changing it up.
    A thought did come to mind because as I mentioned earlier there are no excuses so if we are not able to minster to others there is still something else we can do.  We are able to pray, pray, pray.  We can pray for lost souls, we can stand on Jesus Promises for lost souls.  We can plead for others lost souls.  To sum it all up, we can become prayer warriors for those that aren't able to pray for themselves. We need to pray for the weak ones that are falling into temptations of the evil one.   So if you understand what i am saying; say this prayer out loud :  - Lord Jesus, help me to realize when you are speaking to me, enlighten me with your bright shining light, have the Holy Spirit fill me up with his love and let me know who and what I should be praying for,  Help me to step outside of my routine and what i know.  Help me to pray for those who can't pray for themselves.  lord Jesus, use me, use me as a living vessel I want to be your disciple and I want to lead lost souls to you my God, so I pray for divine appointments my jesus, let me fulfill your will.  let your will be done in my life and let me become dead to my own,  In jesus name I pray. Amen

3/19/2011 Birthday Thought.....

Well I am another year older and hopefully wiser :).  It is such a privelage to be alive this long on this earth, it truly is.  To be giving another day to glorify God and learn about his love is undescribable.  I am greatly enjoying my journey with the Lord and learning so much each day.  I love to get the opportunity to be able to share what I know with others, and learn from others.  The Lord pours out so many blessings and sometimes we can miss them and take them for granted.  It is so important to be appreciative for what you do have.  I am finally with the "2011" crowd now, and by saying this, I am saying that i finally updated my ipod to an ipod touch and i am very excited about this because I can now listen  to chrisitan podcasts.  I want to keep hearing inspiration and bible scripture throughout the day.  I was listening to my first podcast and it was amazing and i learned that we need to get up each day and ask God for his Will to be done, but also to ask for suffering.  Now when I first heard this, it really caught my attention because I always stay positive and hope for a good day.  But we are supposed to ask God for a great day, his will to be done, and to endure suffering each day and this is so we can glorify him and have our faith strengthened.  I loved this and owned this when i first heard it.  I love it love it love it :)  Eachday there are going to be things that are not going to go our way and it is up to us on how to handle them and they should be for the glory of God.  It really makes a difference to the people you associate with, the music you listen to, and how often you converse with God.  We all want all the blessings, but whenever the trials come along, we lose it and want to run and hide. That is the time we should stand even more strong with the Lord.  I am greatly working on this myself and I have Hope that I will one day get there.  i will never have it all together, but I am going to try and give it all I got, while I am alive on this earth.  We have to practice what we preach.  So a little extra thought for you......what do you think your gift from God is? What do you think his will is for you?  if you have an idea try to explore it really in depth this week and see if you can see God give you a great sense of direction to let you know you are on the right path!!!   God Bless, katy Rose
