Words of Encouragement

Every new year people make resolutions.Resolutions to lose weight/get fit, to learn something new, travel, volunteer, finish projects that have been put off, spend less time on social media.  The list goes on and on and on and well you get the picture! :) I've made resolutions through out the years.  One year I went Gluten free. A couple years I decided to read the Bible in a year. One year I decided to go dairy free but I never made it through two months without breaking it by having a piece of cheese! :p This year I decided to make a New Years resolution.  What did I decide to do?!  Well first I want to tell you about this book I have been reading.  Its called "Get Lost: You guide to finding true love" by Dannah Gresh. "With a guided ten-day Love Feast Challenge, Get Lost will help you see for yourself how getting lost in God opens the door to lifelong fulfillment." The book was really good I would encourage every young woman to read it.  Anyways, ...

Okay so I was hanging out with a friend last weekend and she had two push-pins in her room.  I picked them up and I thought of this cool comparison that I wanted to share.  Just for a moment think of people as push-pins, they come in all shapes, sizes and different colors.  Push-pins are used to fasten items to a wall or board for display.  One pin alone can hold something small onto that wall/ board pretty well. It can try to hold something big, but it probably wouldn't do a good job at it without us helping it stay in place. Two pins together, however, can hold up something big onto the wall/ board and do a very good job at it.  Just like the pushpin by itself  we can usually accomplish something on a small scale along with the hand of Christ holding us and placing us where we need to be. Just like two push-pins together can hold something bigger onto the wall/ board, we can accomplish things on a bigger scale with the help of others and of Lord Jesus ...

Just got the book, "Revolution in World Missions: One mans Journey to change a Generation" in the mail! So far its been really good!!  Get it for free with the link below it will take a couple weeks to arrive! "Young Yohannan had no idea what those words of surrender would mean for his life and for millions of others in his generation. Once an insecure 16-year-old, he became a missionary statesman who has impacted the world of missions and whose unbending message has touched hungry hearts on every continent. Step into his story and experience the world through his eyes. You’'ll walk right into the book of Acts. And through his telling, you'’ll hear the very heart of God beating for His creation. K.P. Yohannan’'s passion is contagious and spurs you on to be all for Jesus. He chose to take the road less traveled many years ago, and today Gospel for Asia, the mission he founded, is one of the most respected organizations in our time with tho...

I wrote these short passages a couple weeks ago and I thought that I would share them with you all! "I may be weak, small, frail, insignificant. But with You, oh Lord, I am strong, mighty, big, important, loved, content. Without You, I am nothing, but with you I am completely full. Fill up my cup and let it overflow!" "Lord all I am I surrender. Give me faith to trust what You say! Give me faith to follow what You want me to do every step of the way. Lord take everything in my life it is Yours. Guide me as I walk the walk of faith. Hear my prayers, o Lord... In Your faithfulness answer me. You are faithful. O God, You hear my cries and You answer me in Your appointed time."
