No matter if McCain or Obama wins the Presidential election, you need to always remember this:
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1
Awesome day today. We had 7 people who took Jesus into their hearts!!!
Here are the pictures from Sunday’s baptism. All I can say is AWESOME!!!
What an awesome day it was today! Here is why
I finished reading my Bible today. The whole thing!!!! I have so many mixed emotions about everything that I have read. I feel forgiven, blessed, confused, happy, sad….all these emotions. What I feel the most after reading my Bible is that there is more, a lot more, that I have to do. I don’t feel like I am doing enough. I feel like God want me to do more….I just don’t know what though. There are many lives that need to come to Jesus, and I know I, we, have a huge part in that.
Even though I have finished reading the Bible, now it is time to start studying the Bible. I want to know more. I want to understand everything, or at least try to.
God Bless Your Day, cause I know He has Blessed mine!!!
Once again God shows us how amazing he is. I just got another email from PayPal with a $50 donation towards the mission trip. I cannot thank you guys for the support and the prayers….you guys ROCK!!!!! I am so excited about the trip. I am going to Hobbs, NM next Friday for a team meeting. I will be able to meet all the people that will be going on this mission trip. I am really excited to get to know them. Most of them I already know. I grew up in Hobbs so I am familiar with who they are. The thing that is going to be awesome is they will get to know Joe Barnes the “man”…don’t laugh, instead of the little boy they all knew.
One thing I am not looking forward to is the Malaria pills. I’ve been told that most people get a little sick when they take them. Yesterday I had to fill out all the documents for the trip. One of the hardest forms to fill out was the Notification of Death. When I saw that, this whole trip became a reality.
God Bless Your Day!
God is AWESOME!!! What more can I say…..GOD IS AWESOME!!! I am very proud to say that my financial goals for this mission trip have been met!!! Any donation received from here on out will be going to help my other team members or will be going to the Mission itself.
Check out what happened today. So, I’m at the doctor’s office sitting in the waiting room and I get an email on my iPhone (the greatest phone ever!). This is normal for me to get emails on my iPhone. I have my Training Camp email setup and my Suprajoe account setup on it. So I decided to see what wonderful email had been sent to me. I thumb through the different screens to get to that particular email and it is from Paypal. I’m thinking it is another one of those spam emails or identity theft emails. It wasn’t. A member of the church donated $500.00 so I can make this mission trip. If it wasn’t for me sitting down, I probably would had fallen over. When I least expected, God shows me that He will take care of me….well, not just me but the Mission Team and the people we are doing the mission work for.
To the wonderful woman that donated this money, I want to tell you that you are truly an awesome person. As I am typing this, I want you to know that you have touched my heart and I am having a hard time typing because my eyes are watering…..I’m tough so I’m not crying, yeah right! I have heard of the wonderful mission trips that you are doing and I know God has made you into this special giving Being. Thank you so much for your generosity. Thank You!!!
God Bless Your Day!!!
Today was an awesome day!!! Here is what happened:
- Cole gave an awesome sermon on SEX. Yes, SEX! What I love about The Connection Church is that Cole and Zak really don’t beat around the bush. I think most churches want to skip the subjects that really need to be talked about. But no, not ours….and I love it!!!
- Bram sang East to West and it was AWESOME!!! Not only does this man have so much wisdom and knowledge, he can sing great too.
- Today was baptism Sunday. We had several youth and adults get baptized. Bridget from our Connection Group was baptized, I am so proud of you girl!!! It was AWESOME!!! It is so awesome watching these people come up out of the water and seeing their face glow. When I take pictures of the baptism, my favorite ones are when I get a good shot of them going in/out of the water. I will post pictures tomorrow.
I heard something today that I thought was really neat so I thought I would share.
It’s not how you start life,
but what you do with it,
and most important, how you finish it.
When I read that last part, how you finish it, I am not thinking of living to be 100 years old. I’m thinking of what I am doing now and in the future. I might live to reach the ripe old age of 100, but I’m not going to hold my breath on that. Heck, I don’t know if I want to live that long, but I do know that when the time comes…….I AM/WILL BE READY. Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year that goes by gets me closer to that “finish.” Why am I ready, because a man gave his life for me, and you. He died so our sins could be forgiven. I am a believer and follower of Christ. That’s how I know.
God Bless Your Day
