North Carolina Day 6

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Psalm 118:1- “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”

Psalm 100:3-4- “Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Give thanks to him; bless his name! Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!”

I pray you have all sensed the Lord’s presence today as we have celebrated all that we’re thankful for! Let’s continue to thank the Lord at ALL times for all He has done and given to us!

Today has been a wonderful day with my family! I’m so thankful we are able to be with family from out of town. Today would have been my grandmother’s birthday so it’s really cool that my dad and his sister can be together.

Crucifixion and Resurrection

Happy Easter!!!

"O Lord, I marvel that thou shouldst become incarnate, be

crucified,dead, and buried. The sepulchre calls forth my adoring

wonder, for it is empty and thou art risen; the four-fold

gospel attests it, the living witnesses prove it, my heart’s

experience knows it. Give me to die with thee that I may

rise to new life, for I wish to be as dead and buried To sin,

to selfishness, to the world’ that I might not hear the voice of

the charmer, and might be delivered from his lusts.

O Lord, there is much ill about me- crucify it, much flesh

within me-mortify it. Purge me from selfishness, the fear of

man, the love of approbation, the shame of being though

old-fashioned, the desire to the cultivated or modern. let

me reckon my old life dead because of crucifixion, and

never feed it as a living thing. Grant me to stand with

my dying saviour, to be content to be rejected, to be

willing to take up unpopular truths, and to hold fast

despised teachings until death. Help me to be resolute

and Christ-contained. Never let me wander

from the path of obedience to thy will.

Strengthen me for the battles ahead. Give me courage for

all the trials, and grace for all the joys. Help me to be

a holy happy person, free from every wrong desire, from

everything contrary to thy mind grant

me more and more of the resurrection life:

May it rule me, may I walk in its power, and be

strengthened through its influence."

-Valley Of Vission-

Hail the perfect Lamb of God

A kingly ransom paid

When You, my Lord, were slain

Love unrivaled here displayed

Calls my heart to praise

The perfect Lamb of God

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

1 Corinthians 13:4-“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends!”

Galations 5:22-“But the fruit of the spirit is love…"
