A chance to be real

Hey Everyone,
First I would like to apologize for not sending this out sooner, I've been down for a few days. Hope you all have had a great week so far.

Sunday Pastor Andy's sermon was titled" A chance to be real". He discussed several different chapters in the book of Psalms. How God wants us to be real with him. In Psalms, David wrote of his anger, his blessings, his fears, his love for God, he asked for forgiveness and begged God to never turn his face from him. David was real , and because of that, God loved him so much. David was a man after Gods own heart and he feared the Lord.

What are your Psalms? I want you to make a point this week to write them down, whether it be anger, frustrations, anxieties, fears, blessings or your love for God. If you want to send them to me that would be awesome.

I often wonder how many of you God reaches, If I'm doing a good job. Yes God tells me that, but sometimes we need to hear it from others. My psalm today is this: Lord, I want to thank you for all the good and most importantly the bad because of the bad, I am so in love with you Lord. I know that had I not encountered those troubles I may not be where I am today, so thank you Lord.
Psalm 71:19-21
19 Your righteousness reaches heaven, God, You who have done great things; God, who is like You? 20 You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but You will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth. 21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

Lord, I pray that you would increase my faith. Lord may we all kneel before you and be as real as we can be, may you comfort us, give us peace, understanding. Lord I pray that you would open the eyes of my heart, I want to breathe you in and just as David said Lord, may you never turn your face from me, and may we all find peace in knowing that your love is the only love that endures forever. Lord I pray for blessings upon every person reading this, I pray that will will walk in boldness proclaiming your word, standing firm in our faith and not be ashamed of who we are because you loved us so much that you gave your only son so that we should live, you forgave us so long ago. May we forgive ourselves as well. I pray that you would show every eye, your will for their lives, the gifts that you have given us and may we use them to the best of our ability. Its in Jesus name I pray...AMEN!!

In Christs Love, Tabitha

Snowed in

Good Morning Everyone,First I just want to say that I hope you all had a very wonderful weekend. I dont know about you guys but I soooo missed not having church yesterday. I felt like something was just missing, although I did enjoy the snow with my little girl, Sundays are my favorite day of the week.

Well since we didnt have a service yesterday, I wanted to share my daily devotional with you all. Do you ever feel like you wonder if you make a difference?
Does what you do with and in your life really matter?
Does anyone really pay attention anyways?

Well God says YES!! Yes it does, all of it. Todays title is "Live a Holy Life"You should be a light for other people. Live so tht they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16You want to make a difference in your world? Live a holy life:Be faithful to your spouse.Be the one at the office who refuses to cheat.Be the neighbor who acts neighborly.Be the employee who does the work and doesn't complain.Pay your bills.Do your part and enjoy life.Don't speak one message and live another.People are watching the way we act more than they are listening to what we say.
A Gentle Thunder BY Max Lucado

Lord, I come before you asking for forgiveness for ever not being light to someone else, for saying one thing and living another. Lord you have blessed me beyond my imagination and you still continue to use me when I am so undeserving and worthy. I want to live a life that pleases you, I want to get to Heaven and see your face and know that you are proud and pleased with me. Lord help us to live for only you, not the way the world says we should. May I always be light to others, someone they can talk to, trust and no that you God live inside me. Thank you for loving me, for you son that died so that we can live and thank you Lord for forgiveness. May every eye reading this be blessed, May they hear your voice and feel your presence in their lives. In Jesus name I ask these things... Amen!! Cant wait to see you all Wednesday. God bless and have a wonderful week.

In Christ Love, Tabitha
