Growing Pains and Momentum--When a tiny seed germinates into a seedling, though it is small, it has great dreams of growing large, being successful, and bearing fruit one day. But because it's so small, it's growth is slow at first. It has a very limited root system, it's leaves are small and cannot provide much food for the plant. But as the plant digs it's roots deeper, it begins to produce larger leaves, which in turn is able to produce for food for the plant. As this process goes forward, the plants growth is not steady, but exponential. It grows faster and faster as it grows. What took a week to accomplish before is now accomplished in a day! So, don't be discouraged that your growth seems slow now. As you continue to walk in faith, God will increase your growth quickly. What seemed like a long way away is now actually just around the corner!! Your growth will be accelerated and exponential!! Yay God!!!

It Just Looks Like You're Failing

Good Morning Everyone!! Today is a great day to rejoice in the LORD!! He has great plans for us!! Sometimes we can feel like we're failing, but in reality, we are not!!! God may be using us in powerful ways. There were times that even Paul felt like he failing. God's ways and His methods are higher than ours. The fact that you aren't giving up is a constant testimony of God's presence in your life, and a reminder to Satan that He is defeated for all time. His attacks on you have no power, no teeth. Grace empowers you, covers you, and, unlike Adam who ran away from God because of his sin, causes you to run to God in times of failing and weakness, because you are no longer under the curse of the law, but under grace(divine favor).
This is a mystery revealed to us through Christ's sacrifice!!! What a wonderful Beautiful thing to behold, God's Love for us!!!! Never ending for all time. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for revealing these things to us!!!

In Search of the Little Things

Good Morning everyone!!!!  We always get wowed by God in the big things, such as the giant coastal redwoods in California.  You can't miss their amazing beauty and grandeur.  But often, we miss the beauty in our own backyards, because these little treasures have to be searched for.  God's handiwork can be seen in a tiny, delicate flower, just as easily as in the Grand Canyon.  All the tiny, intricate details, the subtle colors, the aroma, unique to only that species.  But if you don't take the time to look, you will miss it.  Take time today, and enjoy the little things.  They will delight you.
God's word is the same way...  What treasures can be found in the Word, if we take the time to search for them?  What will God show us about himself?  Like a gourmet meal, it takes a sensitive palette to distinguish the flavors.  LORD, help us to be sensitive to the Spirit as you show us your wonders today.  Open our eyes to see your beauty and glory.   Blessings my friends and have a super day!!

Today is a windy day, so I took my baby tomato plants outside.  One might say I'm a cruel person to expose my babies to such conditions.  The truth is, however, that I've noticed when you expose young tomato plants to the wind, the stems become stronger.  Resistance builds strength.  We are the same way.  When we encounter resistance, we become stronger.  That's God's way.  To build muscles, we must encounter resistance.  So, the next time you encounter resistance, thank God that He is just making you stronger, better, resilient, and powerful.  God made you to overcome!!  Blessings!!!
