When you know that you know...

I'm just freewriting...My Sunday school class wasn't reading my Sunday school notes...so I lost my motivation to blog...Have you ever been there?

When you are excited...and know matter how you try to explain your excitement to others...they just don't get it...they smile in agreement...nod in approval...but leave your presence without a clue...

I hope you can identify with me...in black and white it may seem bad...when you experience a series of "rained out parades"...this feeling of excitement could be dreaded...but I pray that you don't allow anyone to rain on your parade...I pray that the joy of the Lord fill you...that His anointing carries you...that His grace and mercy follow you everywhere you find yourself...I pray the best for you...I pray God's best for you...so REJOICE in the Lord with me...Don't allow the inconsistencies of this world distract you from blessing...Our FAITHFUL God!!! He REIGNS FOREVER!!!

I've been busy this month...August...my birth month...the eighth month is the month of New Beginnings...(In the Bible the number 8 symbolizes New Beginnings)...It seems as if my ministry has taken off...(For those who don't know...I am a minster of the gospel...I serve at a Baptist church)...I have been so busy...I teach Pre-K by day...but all my other time is committed to my church...this month I have preached more than I ever have in the four years since I announced my calling...I have preached at our Sunday morning worship service...a family reunion...a Youth Explosion...and this Friday...I'll preach at my church's Men's Retreat...what I am trying to say...is my ministry has seen a new beginning...

I have a really close friend...she has been like a mother to me since I've been away at college...her only child left for college a few weeks ago...Like any parent would...she worries...and she prays...She is experiencing a new beginning...

I pray that you are recognizing your own new beginning...I pray that you are dedicating yourself to advancing the gospel...I pray that you are doing everything you can...to seek God's face concerning your purpose...The sooner you do...the happier you'll be...

And when you know that you know that you know...God is real...

You'll give your life to Him...

He gave His for you...

Let's pray...Lord...you are so good...you know us better than we know ourselves...and we are so thankful that you chose to love us...You are holy and we desire to be holy...so Lord forgive us of our sins...teach us your ways...give us a new heart...give us a new walk...a new talk...make us over Lord...we need you...bless our families...keep us grounded...focus us...restore to us the joy of your salvation...whatever we need...You supply...so Lord make a way...reveal yourself to us...we bless you for your faithfulness...we surrender our will to You, Lord...show us the way...we love you Lord...and it is in Jesus' name we pray...Amen
