The Great Physician

I've been dealing with some stumbling blocks that the enemy has put in my way lately. I've been having many dizzy spells, blackouts, and moments of chest pain. At first, I was terrified. Terrified of dying and leaving my family that I love so very much. Terrified of the pain I would feel. Terrified of not being 100% ready to leave this world. Terrified that the doctors would not find what is wrong with me and that they may miss it and I would suffer. I was reminded by a dear friend that there is no doctor on this planet that knows my body like my God, my Great Physician. In all my weariness, I forgot that. The enemy did a good job of keeping that masked so that I would freak out and not focus on Him. I thought I was focused, but I wasn't. Praying is only a portion of that focus you should have on Him. Believing with your entire body, mind, and spirit that He can and will heal you, and that He is in complete control, is a great deal of that focus.
Something wonderful happened to me on Thursday night. While I was praying with a friend, I felt that peace of God pass over me, I felt a connection with my God that I have never felt before. I felt it again in church this morning, so much that I became overwhelmed with emotion and sobbed. Many people may call this hokey-pokey emotional mumbo-jumbo....but I know that what I felt was real. It reassured me that He is real and He is there. He will never leave me, and He does have great plans for me. He is going to heal me, regardless of whether or not a doctor can tell me what is wrong. I have peace in knowing my Creator is in control. Whether it is a heart condition, whether it is something in my brain, or whether it is a simple as stress and anxiety, I will be released from this attack of the enemy. I have no doubt. THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR HEALING POWER!

Wrath on the Horizon

My heart is so distraught at what our country has just done. I have never been this emotionally involved with an election as this, and I fear what kind of "change" will be affecting our lives over the next four years.
I am grateful I have a God who is bigger than any President that will ever be in the White House.
Yet, I also know that I serve a Lord who will, sadly, bring wrath upon this country for allowing the filth that we have slowly turned a blind eye to. God rises up leaders and brings them down. This country will deserve every bit of turmoil it bears. I pray that He has mercy on His people who love Him and cling to Him.
This election has reassured me about homeschooling or Christian schooling rather than placing my children in the public school system that will open up doors that I would like to keep closed tightly. There is so much more garbage for our children to deal with these days than I ever could have imagined dealing with when I was in school. And that was only 10 years ago, I can't imagine how much worse it will be in 10 more.
Maybe, just maybe, this will stir up something in God's people. A strong passion and desire to spread the gospel and be a voice for those who don't have one. Maybe this is our last and final opportunity to be His hands and feet, and to show the world the Jesus that lives inside of us, instead of keeping Him conveniently tucked away for when we need Him. And I'm not pointing the finger at anyone but myself. Let us remember that we may be the only Jesus that someone ever sees, and it is apparent after this election that the majority of our country has never seen Him, or has seen a Christian fail at showing it.
Go be the light of Jesus! America is awfully dark!

Daniel 4:17 - "... That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the lowest of men."

Psalm 47:9 - "The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted."

John 19:10 - "You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above."

Vote Your Conscience

Today will change the future of our children.

I am proud to say I am a Republican with strong morals and values and will be voting my conscience today. As I awoke this morning, I was reminded that we Christians must fight for those values because there IS an absolute truth. There IS only one way. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO man cometh unto the Father except through me." (John 14:6). We should be concerned about the nation that doesn't challenge other religions or beliefs. Murdering the unborn is not a choice, it is a sin. I'm pretty confident that God does not enjoy watching us kill the unborn, especially because of selfish reasons. (Psalms 127:3) We cannot stand by silent and be "ashamed" of the gospel, or be afraid to say something because it might not fall in line with what someone else believes, or because we want to avoid an argument. There is no political correctness in the gospel, only ABSOLUTE TRUTH. "For I am NOT ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth." (Rom 1:16).
Wake up people! God is real! And if we, as a Nation, keep turning our back on Him, eventually He is going to let our Nation fall. And it will be ugly.
Vote your conscience today. If you read the same Bible I do (Christian, Catholic, Morman, etc.), then I hope and pray you live by the principles that Christ taught us. If you live by those principles, then the only honest choice for President is John McCain. God is going to take care of our economy, it is up to us to be a voice for the unborn and to protect our nation from any more filth.
