Last night we found out that my daughter's first true love Phillip passed away. He was 22 years old. He was killed in a car wreck on his way to work.
So young. He thought he had his whole world ahead of him. He had 2 children. A 3 year old son and a 17 month old daughter. Their to young to remember him.
When him and Brittany dated, he would come to church with us. He even had a friend from our church. But he decided he didn't want any part of it.
So sad that he slipped into eternity at such a young age. The sadest part was he had rejected this precious truth.

Hebrews 9:27 (King James Version)

27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Please let this be a reminder that life is temporary. We are appointed so long to be on this earth. Don't put off serving God. We must always be ready to me him and have our oils full.

Everyone will have a chance to know this truth. Don't reject it.

I serve an awesome God

God has been so good to me. He never ceases to amaze me of his mercy. I was getting ready for church when my dogs started barking. I went to investigate. It was on of my neighbors. She gave me 80 dollars. She said that the Lord had told her I needed it. I was so touched. He knows our needs.
I guess it may make more since if I tell you my situation.
Last month we had to evacuate because of Gustav. We were away from home almost 3 weeks. My husband was without work. Then at the end of the month he was let go due to not enough work.
We've been trying to get unemployment. We're still waiting on it to go through due to all of the delays with the storms. We've been slipping further behind to where we are about to be without lights and on the street.
By faith I know things are going to get better. My bible says that he will never leave me or forsake me.
He knows where we are. My neighbor proved that to me.

Lifes Second Chances

Today we were driving down the road when we pulled over to turn around. My husband didn't see the big red dump truck flying down the road. He pulled out in front of him barely making it out of his way. I saw my life flash before me. That quick and we would have been sent into eternity. It really has got me thinking. I've started rethinking m life.
God could have let that truck hit us. I'm so thankful that he has given me another chance to serve him. I want to have a better walk with him. i want to be closer then ever.
I feel privaledged that he has allowed me to raise my children. I want to be 100% for him.
He is a god of second chances.

Be a Witness

The Lord has done so much for us. I don't know where we would be if it wasnt for his tender mercy.
I wasnt raised in this. My sister brought me to church at a very early age. I'm so thankful for her. She taught me to love god and it stayed with me.
Before i was in church i had moved to a place that had a Pentecostal family. It was a rough place were we lived. lots of drinking and such.
then there was a lady with her husband and 5 children there. They were different. They didnt watch t.v.They were always going to church.
I never went to church with them or anything but i liked being around them. There was just something different about them. There was a spark started in me. I can't explain it.
I moved away and thank God he sent people into our lives that brought us into this wonderful truth. When I recieved the Holy ghost, I went to see these people. They were fixing to move back where they were from. Sadly she told me they had backslid. The world had overtook them.
I pray that they are back in church now. They are from pitkin La. I heard they live in DeRidder.
Anyway my point is we may be the only bible that some people ever see. Let your light show brightly with love. Jesus loved everyone. He loves the sinner just not the sin.
I know I was very unlovable at the time. Let your light shine and love.

Just a Thought

I was wondering about something. If we all believe the Acts 2:38 message then why does it seem like we are competing against each other? I can't understand it.

I'm very blessed to live in a town with 2 Apostolic churches. Some of our church members recieved an email from the pastor of the other church asking us if we wanted to come to a good church to come there. It kinda makes you wonder.

We are all supposed to be in this together. Working for the same goal to hear "Well done my good and faithful servant".

Just think of the power we would have if we could all get in to unity together.

On the day of Pentecost the were all in one mind and one accord when they recieved the Holy Ghost.

If we could all get to that place, How many people could we reach? Think about it.

Whether you be UPC, ALJC, Independent Jesus name we are all part of the body of Christ. We need each other. Lets not just reach out to the lost but to each other too. Encourage each other as we fight this fight together.
