Searching for a Miracle
Are you searching for a Miracle?
Everyone is searching for a miracle. True “Miracles “ are not found in anything this world has to offer. So let us begin on journey finding your miracle whether you are the parent of a differently – abled child, or maybe a spouse. Perhaps you’re a doctor, a lawyer or an individual looking for hope and a place in this world.
Here is five simple questions that will help you find the peace you are longing for: Why? How can this be good? Where is the miracle? What is the plan?
Why? Was a question I asked a lot growing up with cerebral Palsy.
I soon found out that it was for Gods glory, when I read John chapter 9 verses 1-3” As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ”
How can this be Good?
God Promises us in Romans 8:28, that He will work all things together for those who love Him and are called according to his Purpose. Friends we have a purpose in this world to love God and others. I pray that you and me never lose sight of that.
Where is the Miracle?
Sometimes miracles are easy to find and other times you have to search for them. If God doesn’t Give you a miracle He will make you one for someone else.
What’s the plan?
Friends before time began God designed us to have a relationship with Him as our Creator, Father and friend. We have all been created in His image, and he took the punishment for our sin when he stretched his arms out on the cross, to show His love for everyone. Then conquering h death once and for all he raised from the grave. Jeremiah 29:11 declares, “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord; thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.”
Our final outcome is to spend eternity with him in Heaven.
Maybe you haven’t experienced a personal relationship with Jesus… it is not something earned, in fact it is a free gift we can receive by inviting him into our hearts with a simple prayer, Lord Jesus I invite you into my heart today thank you for taking my sins on your shoulders and dying for me today I am free to live for you… in your sons name ! Amen

bloom where you are planted
Hi Friends,
How do we bloom where we are planted? We make a conscious effort to stay connected with Jesus; The True Vine. Imagine this: you have 2 plants. You put the first plant in a dark room without water, then you place the second plant outside near the sun and water it regularly. The first one dies because it was disconnected from the constant source of light, it needs to survive.
Staying close to Jesus helped us grow in faith, and we continue to blossom into the people he has called us to be. This enables us to produce much “fruit”.
What do I mean by fruit? the fruit of our life is produced when we allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us, By doing this we are choosing to cooperate with the master gardener in any and every circumstance. Each season in this life yields fruit for God's kingdom, as we continue to keep our focus on him! Some of the most difficult circumstances in this life can be opportunities Of grace and growth, because God uses those times to help us come more and more fruitful.
As we fully rely on God he fills us up, with strength and Joy... With each season, He is our constant companion, Who loves us, Teaches us and walks with us through life. We Can't accomplish eternal life or spiritual growth on our own. Jesus accomplishes these things in us and through us. Apart from him life is mundane and hopeless. Stay connected with Jesus today, and everyday. He is our strength and power source!
"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5

On the edge
Hi friends,
Do you feel like giving up? Maybe the circumstances of this life have taken you for unexpected spin, right now you are on the edge of giving up, and giving in. You can hope again because the brokenness in this life doesn't determine your final destiny. I'm not going to pretend like I understand exactly what you're going through, but no matter how dire your circumstances may seem, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Today you might find yourself in the midst of a situation that is leading you around in circles, and you have had just about all you can handle… You don't want to live anymore, Dear one your father in heaven loves you deeply, he knows the number of hairs on your head… When you begin to feel worthless remember this, you are a treasure that is irreplaceable!
Jesus loves you for who you are, come to him with the good, the bad and the ugly details of your life, and he will restore your hopelessness to joy, And your darkness into light.

Broken and Beautiful
Hi friends,
it's okay to come to Jesus in our brokenness, sometimes that's where he is able to shine brightest because it enables us to trust him even more. Life is not about trying to be “unbreakable” but rather allowing God to use the brokenness in our lives to make something beautiful!
You might think, “how could my brokenness ever be beautiful?” This doesn't happen overnight, it's a process of shaping, breaking and molding that begins when we give our hearts and lives to Christ and ends when we stand in his presence! God is our father, we are the clay, he is the Potter we are all works of his hand. This promise comes from Isaiah 64:8
maybe you are in a place of brokenness right now? Remember you are in the potter's hand and he wil never forsake you!

God Wants to Bless Your socks off
Hi friends,
God wants to bless your socks off! Mabye you don't think so right now because the circumstances are constantly changing, but God does't change!
When we are going through tough times, He stays the same... Often God will suprise us with an unexpected gift; blessings that seem to knock the breath out of us.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

Faith
Hi friends,
What is faith? Is it simply closing your eyes and wishing that the tough things in life would disappear... No,it's a continual journey of learning to fully rely on God.
This Does'nt in an instant, but it begins when we give our hearts and lives to God... from there he leads us down a path that he has prepared for us.
What are you hoping for today? Reach out to God in Faith trusting that he is working on your behalf.
We can't see Jesus with our eyes but we are certain that he lives in each of us because he has given us Full Assurance In The Heart!
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

Knock,knock-
Hi Friends,
Have you ever wondered,"What is so great about having a relationshp with Jesus?" Mabye You are aprehensive about His exsistence... Please consider this: The Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today...
Your life may be good right now, but you can feel a void in your heart. only Jesus can fill it, nothing else and no one else. Jesus is polite, he won't push open the door of your heart... He waits patiently; gently knocking at your hearts door. Can youhear him? Knock, knock , knock. Are you going to answer?
When we answer him, He comes in and adopts us as his Children + friends; giving us the promise of eternal life in him.
"Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends. " Revelation 3:20
Not sure how to answer? Talk to Jesus as if he were your best friend, because he wants to be.
