Thursday Thought's

Good Morning Friend's,
Hello I pray you are well this 9th Day of December , I have been so blessed by the Peace challenge this month. If your not sure what that is scroll down my blog and check it out! I am studying God's Word so much this month and the other night my husband came home to share what him and a co-worker chatted about at work and it was a great time of heart and soul searching!! 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 read it if you have a chance the title is this "The Light of Christ's Gospel" I was blessed and thought how appropriate in the month of December to be remembering the Light of Christ the commentary in my Bible says this; " At Salvation every believer REPENTS and TURNS away from sin and devotes their life to the PURSUIT of GODLINESS." REFERRING TO VERSE 2 I was so convicted and challenged by this verse and asked myself the question am I DEVOTING my life given to me by the KING of Kings to the PURSUIT of Godliness that means going deep and pursuing godliness in my speech, my actions, my way of life and I have to admit many times falling very short yet not struck down by that still my pursuit in this life is to be Godly and what does that look like mmmm welp His word tells us and if we are NOT a set apart people glorifying our Lord are we REALLY pursuing GODLINESS or just going thru the motions?? Good QUESTION to ponder!!! I pray today that where ever we are in our walks with the KING may we devote our lives to serving HIM and to the PURSUIT of Godliness IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVING!! God Bless !!!

PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT FOR ALL TO SEE SHARING WHAT GOD IS SHOWING YOU RIGHT NOW IN YOUR WALK WITH THE KING!!!

Until Next Time,
Serving The King,

The Holiday Season is upon us!!!

Are you finding yourselves where I have sooooo many times in past seasons trying to create the PERFECT HOLIDAY for your friends and family and being frennzied the whole time??

If we are stressed over trying to figure out how to make a perfect, memorable, special, meaningful holiday..well STOP PLEASE!! GOD'S Word says in Phil. 4:6&7 " BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH THANKSGIVING, LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD; AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. Praise God I want that peace during this season!!

We need to STOP and remember the reason for both HOLIDAYS coming up Tomorrow and CHRISTmas..... and that is JESUS HE alone is the reason for our celebrations!! If we place our focus on details and perfection and miss the real mark JESUS CHRIST then we have done all we have in vain!! The decor and food of the seasons come and go yet the heart memories last yet a life time are we creating memories that our fond and loving centered on CHRIST or are we leaving memories of a frenzied mommy who focuses on Perfection and self ouch I have in the past hate to admit!! I ask you this question do you want to be a Martha this holiday season crazy and running all over to reach a perfect enviornment for Christ and miss the chance to sit quietly at His feet or do we want to be a Mary waiting for those moments to sit at His feet and gleen how amazing this season truly is I know my prayer is for all of us to let our quest for "PERFECTION" go this Thanksgiving instead of a frazzled mom who has her table adorned to perfection and food cooked perfectly and instead RELAX and give my family and friends memories of THANKSGIVING NOT "perfection". May we Thank God this THANKSGIVING for the MANY Blessings He Bestows on His Children ....."LET US PRAISE THE LORD TOGETHER"

Happy Thanksgiving Blog Friends!
Until Next Time as we SERVE the King Together,
Cindy

THANKSGIVING..............

Hello Friend's,
It is that time again the Holiday's are right around the corner! The stores are preparing and so am I !! The holiday upon us though I am afraid sorta gets lost in the mix of things it is sandwiched in between two VERY commercial holidays Halloween and CHRISTMAS, and sad to say if not careful this holiday is looked right over and such a shame!!! This is a very important holiday where my family year after year reads the book Thanksgiving A Time To Remember by: Barbara Rainey It reminds us of the truth about the Pilgrims and ALL they endured for the freedom to worship our Lord and remembering how thankful we are to those who fought hard for those freedoms we take for granted to often!!! It is a time of reflection in our family a time where we look back over the year and marvel at what God has seen us through yet again and look forward to all He is doing even in the hardships the year may have brought!! God Thank you for the simplicity of life for reminding our family just how soveriegn you REALLY ARE and how WORTHY TO BE PRAISED YOU ARE we love and worship you!!! What are you thankful for please leave a comment letting me know what God is doing in your life and what you are thanking Him for this season of Thanksgiving!!!

Do you NEED HEALING???

So you thought you had to keep this up.. all the work that you do so we think that your good and you cant believe it's not enough all the walls that you built up are glass on the outside so let 'em fall down there's freedom waiting in the sound when you let your walls fall to the ground we're here now this is where the HEALING BEGINS this is where the healing starts when you come to where your broken within the light meets the dark the light meets the dark, !!! This is a few of the lyrics from HEALING BEGINS by Tenth Avenue North it is an amazing song about the healing power of Christ and His blood that He shed for our sins and only when we come broken from within can Christ build us back up Praise God for this beautiful HOPE we are all broken within for something in our lives rest assurred you can take it and lay it before Christ and HE will begin to HEAL us from within. Lord may YOU continue to heal me from inside out thank you Jesus!!!

Until Next Time,
May we continue to Serve the King Together,
Cindy

Been Awhile Again!!!

Hi sweet blog friends!!! Listen I am sorry it has been awhile life is busy with 7 kids lol!!! I am working on a few things and would love to share!!! First I belong to a wonderful ministry called "PRAISE and COFFEE Night's" it started with a group of Gals wanting to get together for coffee and sharing the things of the Lord. The gal whom started them is a lady named Sue Cramer in Michigan she is awesome love you Sue and her co-founder in Florida Melissa Mashburn another cool lady well these gals have found there was a great NEED for girlfriend time. I was doing something very similar already called "Girlfriend Night's" and was very interested in this and next thing you know I am now a Praise and Coffee leader for the Henderson/Las Vegas Valley area we started with 5 now 16 and counting it is open to any and all whom have a relationship with Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. For more info. Go to my facebook and go to Praise and Coffee. Then I am leaving little faith clips via you tube on my facebook as well trying to leave them on blog too but little more complicated lol soon hopefully. Then some wonderful ministry opportunities happening in near future concerning Greg and myself as a team cant say much more right now sorry ladies PLEASE just pray for us thank you sooooo much!! I am doing a few Bible Studies with Gals across the states and one in my own church so God is good and has me busy with doing things for HIS kingdom !! I pray all are doing well and until next time God Bless you ALL!!
