Well bloggers, Friday is here, thank God. I love Fridays and so look forward to the weekends, as most people do. However, occasionally we all encounter down days and even down weekends. They just seem to come with life. Maybe your encountering a down day and not really looking forward to the weekend. If that's the case let me encourage you to rise above whatever is holding you down and back from enjoying your day and weekend.
One of the ways that we overcome depression, sadness, disappointment and what I call bad hair days is through prayer and worship. When we focus on God in prayer or worship, God responds. That's part of having a relationship with God and when God shows up, things change. So if your boats being tossed to and fro in the storms of life, invite Jesus into the boat and He will calm the storms.
Have a blessed day and weekend in Jesus.

It Was No Suppose To Be This Way
Have you ever been there. Watching something unfold that was not suppose to happen. Sometimes our inability to listen and stubbornness brings forth the complete opposite of what God had planned. Other times we become surrounded by others that make so much noise that when God speaks we can't hear and don't listen.
The outcomes can be either blessings or curses, and sometimes seasons of time to change course that are like walking up a steep hill.
We should never quench God's Spirit, hinder His plans and purposes or turn our ears to His Words.

Rock Solid Or Sand
Ouch! I've been sitting here trying to write a post and nothing seems to flow. I thought of writing a piece about the state of the country, however too many situations came to mind. I guess I could write a piece about the slam up job the presidents doing, however that could bring way too much debate. Then there's that long lost dream regarding the church that I attend, but just the thought of that bores me.
Wow! that sure seemed to flow out of nowhere and considering it's Saturday and we weekly attend Saturday evening services at that very same church, I'd say my spirit's crying out for something more than the same old same old. Now, don't get me wrong here, I've been attending the same church for almost 9 years now faithfully every Saturday and Sunday. I have served in various ministries and capacities over the last almost 9 years and enjoyed each and every moment of it. So why the boredom?
Is it because I've changed, lost my vision, lost my faith, or lost that inner compassion for God and His people? No. Is it because many of the original members have left and moved on? No. Is it because the worship has changed, or the preachings getting stale? No. So what is it? In all honesty I can't share all the true reasons why other than to say, that which was once built on the Rock, a sure foundations, seems to have changed and I never liked the sandy shores of the beach. Actually, that last line came from a dream I recently encountered.
Time to pray for restoration.
