Growing for His Glory: Word from the Lord- to myself (and you perhaps) ♥

Word from the Lord- to myself (and you perhaps) ♥

JESUS must be Glorified!

JESUS must be Worshiped!

JESUS must be Magnified!

JESUS must be Honored!

It must be about JESUS!

ALL OF IT!

If it's not centered, birthed, bathed and pursued

by and for JESUS,

than it's worthless.

Without Jesus and the Cross, nothing matters.

Nothing.

~~~

James 1:27 ~ If your religion is ANYTHING BUT

Christ-centered service to the needy, poor, less fortunate,

hungry, naked, thirsty and heartbroken than your "religion"

is in VAIN!

No feast or old-testament tradition will matter on Judgment day.

Jesus will look at you and ask,

"What did you do for MY names sake."

Satan's BIGGEST trick today is,

"Get them off the Lord and onto foolish practices,

all in the name of ‘obedience to God’."

You’ve fallen into the hands of the Enemy!

Oh that my eyes would be fixed upon Him.

"looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,"

Hebrews 12:2

Today our family is on a mission. However, our story began back in 2003. We were married, blessed with 3 beautiful children and the world’s best loving little Shiz-Tu of a man-dog! (We really love him. Probably too much. But that is not what this blog is about!) My husbands name is Chris but my kids and I call him ‘Papa’! We have been married for over 8 years. We have seen some amazing mountain tops in our marriage and we have also swam in the depths of the oceans floor. We know that God is alive, working and ALL POWERFUL. We are living proof! Our children are amazing. They REALLY do make us laugh. So many times we just look at each other and shake our heads because they are so cute and unpredictable. They force us to learn humility, mercy and grace constantly and we fail daily. It’s actually very sobering. We are completely broken people. Sinners in need of grace, forgiveness and mercy like you need air and water. We give our brokenness to Jesus. We turn in all our failures and sinful ways in hopes that Jesus will use these vessels (our lives, our bodies) for His ultimate and complete Glory and unto His Kingdom. What is this blog about? It’s about Jesus and Orphans! As you will read, we are now on a mission. To love the orphan! To serve HIS children and help provide for any urgent needs we encounter. We originally were praying about adoption. However, we are now praying that the Lord would just SEND US, if that is His plan. We have started a ministry called, "Bread For Life" and we bake and sell bread to help raise money for children in need. It began in December of 2011, we have raised almost $20,000! This little ministry is being turned into a non-profit and we are seeking the Lord for what He has in store for us next. If you can get past all the misspelled words, run on sentences and confusing grammar than sit back and be encouraged! God is on the move in our hearts and we are thrilled! We invite you to laugh, cry, pray, rejoice and hope that Christ be glorified through our lives. There is a war to fight and we are headed to battle! This is our mission, Our Story.
