Wow... What to say??? God has been so incredible to me!
It's amazing to think that i have been blessed with such awesome friend's and family...
In a quote somewhere reads " If you have one good friend in the world you have been very
fortunate, If you have two you are extremely blessed!" Whoever wrote that was very intelligent
and insightful....
But they never met me!
Here are some of my favorite friendship quotes.
"A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"
-Walter Winchell-
"Love is blind, Friendship closes its eyes"
-Unknown-
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and sings it back to you when you have
forgotten how it goes"
-Unknown-
Thank you lord for your exceeding blessings!

Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school each day,
When it wasn't against the rules.
He made the the children laugh and play
To have the Lamb at school
Then the rules changed one day,
Against the law it became.
To bring the Lamb of God to school
Or even speak His name.
Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh and play,
You heard them crying tears.
What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let the Lamb come back to school
And teach our kids to pray.
Forgiveness
A letter written to a man on death row by the Father of the man whom the man on death row had killed:
You are probably surprised that I, of all people, am writing a letter to you, but I ask you to read it in its entirety and consider its request seriously. As the Father of the man whom you took part in murdering, I have something very important to say to you.
I forgive you. With all my heart, I forgive you. I realize it may be hard for you to believe, but I really do. At your trial, when you confessed to your part in the events that cost my Son his life and asked for my forgiveness, I immediately granted you that forgiving love from my heart. I can only hope you believe me and will accept my forgiveness.
But this is not all I have to say to you. I want to make you an offer -- I want you to become my adopted child. You see, my Son who died was my only child, and I now want to share my life with you and leave my riches to you. This may not make sense to you or anyone else, but I believe you are worth the offer. I have arranged matters so that if you will receive my offer of forgiveness, not only will you be pardoned for your crime, but you also will be set free from your imprisonment, and your sentence of death will be dismissed. At that point, you will become my adopted child and heir to all my riches.
I realize this is a risky offer for me to make to you -- you might be tempted to reject my offer completely -- but I make it to you without reservation.
Also, I realize it may seem foolish to make such an offer to one who cost my Son his life, but I now have a great love and an unchangeable forgiveness in my heart for you.
Finally, you may be concerned that once you accept my offer you may do something to cause you to be denied your rights as an heir to my wealth. Nothing could be further from the truth. If I can forgive you for your part in my Son's death, I can forgive you for anything. I know you never will be perfect, but you do not have to be perfect to receive my offer. Besides, I believe that once you have accepted my offer and begin to experience the riches that will come to you from me, that your primary (though not always) response will be gratitude and loyalty.
Some would call me foolish for my offer to you, but I wish for you to call me your Father.
Sincerely,
The Father of Jesus
Friendship Prayer
I got down on my knees today,
And said a prayer for you,
For you are always in my heart,
And I often think of you,
I asked the Lord to send his angels,
To protect my dearest friend,
I prayed that all the joy and happiness,
You have will never end,
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
When you are feeling blue,
And when you have a tear,
He'll wipe away that too,
I asked the Lord to bless our friendship,
So our ways will never part,
For true friends always stick together,
For we're in each others hearts.

I’m Trying, But…
I’m trying, but…
what I want to do,
I don’t do enough of,
and what I don’t want to do,
I do too much of.
I know the rules for a Christian life,
according to the Bible,
and I’m trying; I really am, but…
heaven and eternity seem so far away,
and the rampantly materialistic world
presses in so close
from every direction, every side,
that I get distracted.
Focus, focus, focus!
I need to focus, laser-like
on a simple, God-centered life.
Do I really need
to make that frivolous purchase,
instead of giving the money
to someone who needs it
so much more than I do?
Can I watch that TV show,
read that book, listen to that song
that contains (and promotes!)
even a little bit
of what the Bible forbids,
without being corrupted?
Do I do enough
to love and help and encourage others?
Pride always hovers,
eagerly waiting
to subdue and conquer humility,
so I think too much of myself.
I know the rules;
the Bible makes everything clear.
Forgive me, Lord;
I’m trying, but…
Romans 7:15
Matthew 6:19

Help Me Forgive
When rage and fury overwhelm my heart,
It’s time to look to God’s own Holy Word.
I search the Bible for His good advice;
My will to His commands must be deferred.
In Romans God reveals His love for me;
In all things God works only for my good;
He gives me blessings I can’t understand;
I’d be peaceful if I’d do the things I should.
Jesus forgave so much; why then can’t I?
I want to mold my life after His own.
I pray, I try, but my sinful nature wins;
Lord, help me, I can’t do this thing alone.
In Colossians, I read about the peace of Christ;
Oh, how I long to feel it in my heart.
All I have to do is to forgive,
But Lord, it seems I don’t know where to start.
I need to walk a mile in the other’s shoes;
They’re doing what they think they have to do.
I know some problems are blessings in disguise,
But Lord, sometimes I feel so doggone blue.
Ephesians says "forgive as the Lord forgave you;
Get rid of anger and every form of malice."
I’d love to just let go and release it all,
But upon my heart is a wound that’s become a callus.
I’ll keep praying, trying, Lord, no matter what;
I’m determined to let go and relinquish blame;
Some day, I’ll say, and be truly sincere:
"I forgive it all in Jesus’ precious name."
(Romans 8:28, Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:31)

To Do List From God
I ran my life in search of worldly things;
My time and will were firmly in control.
I thought I had no need for what God brings;
I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.
“You’re planning, doing all the time,” it said,
“But something else is missing deep inside.
Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,
So turn to God and let go of your pride.”
I did, and God said, “Here’s My plan for you:
Give your life to Me, and just let go.
Have faith and pray, and read the Bible through,
And you’ll have blessings more than you can know.”
So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace,
Living life for God the way I should.
Direction, purpose, fullness and release—
Life with God is very, very good.

The Week,Prodical Son and Thank you's
Well how wonderful it is to no how powerful are god is?
These past couple services we’ve been in revival and the sprit of the lord has been at every service…as Backsliders find there way back home the lord moves and reaches out for those that are lost and confused..
I thank god for bring me home when he did my life was so full of emptiness, it was like searching for a shoe in the dark... The devil had had my mind so wrapped up with lies, hatred and pain I had my heart set on not going back to church but god just kept reaching for me and would not give up on me.. I cry as I write this cause I kept giving up on him but yet he loved me kept reaching out to me but I kept pushing him away.. I no that you readers are probably wondering what I’m talking about because I had said I comeback a couple months back and that’s true I did but the devil was messing with my mind sending me message of doubt that I could be doing better stuff with my life so I questioned everything like: was this the right religion? Would I be better off doing something else with my life? Is what the pastor saying to me the truth? Is letting go all my friends that have been bad influence on me that has no intention to follow god worth what god has in store for me? And I fell again because my problem really was with me and not just listen to god and let him do the thing he had planed for me. To be honest with you I got scared of what god had for me, everything was just going to good to be true and faster then normal and I ran from the lord again.. Coming home made me realized that I have been a fool for letting the devil take me from the one that truly believed in me.. “I Pray to god that he will renew my mind, heart and soul make a new creature in Christ, and that I never fall from him again” Amen I thank all those that said a pray for me those that never gave up and stayed faithful to me and believed that I would make it. Now its time to do gods plan and when those that are still lost and help those that don’t understand the true love and what there missing out without god. Much love to all of you that took the time to read this, I pray you, you pray for me and together well make it in Jesus name!!!
Special thanks too
