IN WORSHIP



Good morning!
All is well here. I haven't been on for awhile. As I said a while back, life is so busy. I don't understand how people can be bored!

Last weekend we went to Resurrection. This is a youth conference that happens every year in Gatlinburg, TN, and this was the 30th anniversary this year. There was probably 5000 attending including youth leaders and pastors.

What a blessing to see youth and their leaders praising and worshiping the Lord together in corporate worship. The speaker, Reggie Dabbs, was wonderful and so was the worship band. It was City Harmonic. I hear them on our local Christian radio station. 

Our youth were intrigued with the speaker. He is a sought after youth speaker who knows how to talk to teenagers. It all was a blessing!

And to spend time with our youth leaders and the kids was also wonderful. We don't get to hang out very often together.

We all need to get away every once in a while. Away from the every day life, just to be renewed and filled to overflowing with God's Spirit. It fills our tank so to speak. Now, we can do that every day at home in our time with God. But actually getting away is even better. Where getting away like this is all about God not us.

I don't know about you but my quiet time sometimes is interrupted with phone calls and the dryer buzzer going off and I tend to take care of these things. When you are at a conference your whole focus is on Jesus. And that is definitely where it should be, even at home.

So, I am going to try harder to read God's Word, pray, and worship Him without succumbing to phones and dryers. But just sweet worship, just Jesus and me, with Him as my total focus.

And I hope that you can do the same!

Let everything that has breath 
praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Psalms 150:6

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
Psalms 73:25-26

Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago.
Isaiah 25:1
 
God is spirit, and his worshipers must 
worship in the Spirit and in truth. 
John 4:24
 
Have a terrific day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
