You Were Born For This



You Were Born for This… Serving People… you were born for THIS…. Helping minister Gods will to people… YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS… I just finished reading a life changing book by Bruce Wilkinson the author of Prayer of Jabez. It is entitled “You Were Born for This” Imagine a life where God uses you to complete miracles. Wouldn’t that be a miracle in itself? This book starts with how do we look at miracles? Do you consider these the laying your hands on someone and healing their blindness or their illness?
That is not necessarily the miracle we are discussing.

We are talking about the person who is short $100 to pay their bills and you feel led to give them that $100. Or the person who has prayed to God and said “If you’re real show me.” This book talks us through the Miracle key, unlocking the thought that ASKING God as Isaiah did to USE ME is something we should do daily. Then unlocking the PEOPLE key where we truly LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS WE LOVE OURSELVES… Next we read of the Spirit key unlocking our hearts to sense God’s nudges. And then the Risk Key, helping us to see that God wants us to take risks.

This book is full of personal stories of people who needed to feel God’s touch and proof that God is actively seeking workers. I have seen this in my own life. There were times when I was first married where we were very short on funds and someone from church would bring us groceries. These friends felt God leading to help us and didn’t know why.

Could you do this? Could I? I read this book praying about how much I wanted to put this book into practice. I read the first 3 keys feeling in tune but afraid to try them… The Risk Key was what I needed to read. I too often think that God would not lead me to do anything that is uncomfortable or that I am afraid of. Yet, why wouldn’t HE… Do not be afraid of your fear but know that God will give the strength, the peace, etc…

So are you ready to seek out opportunities to minister every single day? Are you ready to wake up and ask God daily “PLEASE Lord, Send Me! Put people in my path today that I can minister to. Nudge me and show me the people you want me to touch today!”

Imagine if all the Christians in the world lived like this? How would that world be different than the one we live in currently? Go pick up your copy of this book “You Were Born For This” by Bruce Wilkinson, today at your local Family Christian Stores or Randomhouse.com.

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
