Election Time.....

Well we are only 4 days out from electing this Nations 44th President.  I believe this election is one of our most important, if not the most important since our 17th president Abe Lincoln.  One thing Im tired of is the media, and people bashing each other because of our political views.  I had a convo the other day with some friends, and the just of the convo. was if you vote Obama or democrat then you're not a christian.  In no way is this true at all.  What some people don't understand is that as an US American it's our privilege to vote for whoever we want.  It has nothing to do with us as Christians.  No where in the Bible do I read, vote republican or spend eternal life in hell.  It's just non since.  People have lost friends, and family members, because of this election, and them all fighting with each other.

Now in no way am I say Im voting Obama.  Any one who knows me knows my support lay's with John McCain and Sarah Palin.  I fell he is more qualified, and ready to be our Commander and Chef. Im just tired of my friends, who are voting for Obama of being ritaculed by McCain supporters, and telling them they are not a christian b/c of who they vote for.

Truth is God already knows who the next president is going to be till the day He comes back for His people.  If Obama is elected then it was His (God's) will.  If McCain is elected same thing God's will.  

Let's just keep praying for our country and remember the scripture in 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

The United States of America NEEDS Jesus Christ so bad right now!  Will you pray for your country, or continue to fight among each other?

Blessings,

Catch up....

Man It has gotten cold fast. Yesterday it snowed a bit and tonight it is 32 out. brr. I guess winter will be here soon. Only 29 days till Thanksgiving, and 57 days till Christmas! I love this time of year.

So over the past few months I have had head aches, and could not figure out why. A friend told me he had the same thing so he went to the eye doctor, and found out he needed glasses. I had not had my eyes checked since grade school, but I had 20/20 vision then. I see fine....so I thought. Found out today I'm near-sited. Boo....so I now have glasses, but the doctor said it would take care of my head aches. He said my eyes where just a bit off, but enough to cause my eyes to strain. So praise God I found out why my head hurt all the time.


Blessings,

Wating....

I know God has someone for me. I also know it would be easier in my ministry to have someone. But God knows what he's doing and I know in time there will be someone there for me supporting me and "our" ministry.

I'll just keep praying for her.

God let your will be done in my life! Whoever you made for me I pray for her today.

Fall Retreat Recap

WOW....God never ceases to amaze me.

Im at such a loss for words right now. The past weekend was our fall retreat, going into it I knew God was going to do something good in the life's of our students. And He did.

Saturday night, I preached on commitment. I asked the students to be honest and write down the biggest things they struggle with. I then wrote them down on the white board and it really it home when we all looked at the board and saw that the issues on there we not made up but were real issues of everyone in the room.

At the alter I told them, they could leave there trials here. I could tell they really wanted to be real with God as the cried out to Him.

I felt led to ask if anyone want to be filled with the Holy Ghost. 10 came up we began to pray for them, and by the end of the night all 10 had received the Baptism!

God is doing amazing things in our youth group, and in our church. Im so excited for what GOD is got in store for the future.

Revival

We are having revival this week and so far it has been amazing. God has really done a work in me. He has re-lit something on the inside of me. I have also gotten close again to a dear friend who I really haven't talk to since summer. Im really God allow us to "work" everything out. She's an wonderful person!

This weekend is Fusion Fall Retreat. Im really excited for what God is going to do. Our theme this year is "Getting Desperate for God" My students are hungry for Christ, and Getting Desperate is the key to being full in Christ.

Please be in prayer for us this weekend, as the Lord moves in the lives of our students!

Blessings,
