Remembrance.....Hillsong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9kbdFCSrFU

I owe everything to Jesus. My life, my all. He gave this gift of life, in this time, for a purpose. I pray I always live life with His purpose always in mind. He's been so good to me. To think, where would I be, if not for all He's done.

Oh my, the lyrics to this song are heart melting. How could you not be so in love with this kind of love? This Jesus, Who gave His all for you, for me. John 1:12...This love that makes us whole again, if you would just receive it and believe it.

So if you are a believer, there is no excuse for us not to at least plant a seed. You may not have time for the Gospel, but we always have opportunities in the day to tell people of the joy and hope we have found in Jesus. Love has a NAME. It's Jesus!!! We are not here to be popular with people. We are here to magnify His Name. Use it, because it is the Name that saves.

I had a crazy encounter at my job the other morning. I met a women in the convention center at around 5:30 am when I was unlocking doors. She was just looking for a cup of coffee but the hotel coffee shop wasn't open yet. I brought her into one of our meeting rooms that we were setting for breakfast and got her a cup of coffee. I then proceeded to have a short conversation with her. She is here on vacation with her daughter and grandchildren. She said they were her life. I told her, me too. I told her I have been a widow for almost 4 years. She told me she is a widow too for about 15 years. Her husband passed from malignant melanoma and he has never been in the sun. I told her that's why I believe it is God's will when and how He calls us home. I told her I believe our stories are written from beginning to end. She then said, well whoever is writing my story has been good to me. I told her, thank the good God above. He is the author of our stories.....

Let's live our lives in remembrance, and give Him glory.

Edge of Heaven..River Valley Worship

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka-mF-1HwF4

Have you ever watched those videos of military men or women coming home and surprising their little ones? Oh how it just brings me to tears! How they cry out, "daddy or mommy." Just gets me every time. It makes me think of when I will one day run into my Saviors arms. Right now, is like living on the edge of heaven while I wait. I cling to His Holy presence, longing for that one day I will be with Him. 

For now, I live to encourage as many as God will give me, to the most beautiful love relationship that I found in Jesus Christ. There is none like it even though I'm alone, I never feel alone. I have been a widow for close to 4 years now. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday. I miss him everyday, but in heaven there is no time. I remember my dad taking off his watch off and telling me he didn't need it anymore. You think, maybe he knew? Just one of those nuggets to me.

When I read Psalm 90:4, it says, "For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past"...  Or look at 2 Peter 3: 8, "But do not forget this one thing...with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." I love that!!! It comforts me greatly.

But for now, if He returns first before He calls me home, you will find me doing what Jesus told all His followers to do. Mark 16: 15, Share the Gospel, the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Who You say I am..... Hillsong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKw6uqtGFfo

I love a conversation that broke out at work the other day. I also loved that an important truth got out with no one getting mad, just laughter.

You know Oz never gave anything to the Tin man, Scarecrow, or the Lion that they didn't already have. They just needed to be reminded. That's the same thing with us. I don't think we realize all that God want's to show us of what He has been deposited in those of us who choose to believe and follow in this love relationship with Jesus, 2 Timothy1: 7. "Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. I'm a child of God, yes I am." I am who He says I am. I have all that He says I have.

Well here's how the conversation went. I asked one of the servers if another one of the servers foot was ok. She hurt it during work. He said, "Kim, your asking the wrong person. I don't have a heart. Well all the servers who know me, knows that that statement pushed the door right open for me. I said, "well, I'm going to sit you down and tell you more about Jesus and you might just get a heart." Another server said, "he doesn't have any brains either Kim." Well we all laughed. I then proceeded to say, "well I guess you don't have any courage either. If you really knew Jesus, you would have all three." We all laughed again. I love that we could all laugh about it, but it is really a serious issue when you don't know Him.

Everyone who knows me at work, knows my passion for Jesus. There are times when someone will ask me a serious question and I pray to give an answer. Sometimes I really want to retire, but I love how I see God using me here. It's not just work, it's also a place of ministry.

Jesus tells us in James 4: 8, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." The more you get to know Him, by spending time with Him, the more He draws beautiful qualities out that we don't realize are there. You begin to think clearer, have compassion for others, and the courage to stand up for yourself and others.

Some of us don't know who we are until we have that close relationship with Christ. He has a way of bringing out the best in you.
