Sunday's message

This is why I need to be in church every Sunday and at bible study on Wednesday. I gotta tell you that the message today was something else. The pastor talked about being and example and not being luge warm. I can't touch on everything but I can say I complain too much. The Lord has blessed me and my family so much and I don't seem to talk about that enough. He said praise God in spite of everything you are going through. In the beginning he said you have to have to have an "If Not" praise. That meant praise God because you are going through and He is going to get you out of whatever it is but if not praise Him anyway. Even if you don't get what you are looking for and the kids and husband are still getting on your nerves, praise Him anyway.

He also talked about people knowing whether or not your are a Christian. Do your friends at work ask you how was the bar or do they say how was church cause they know for sure you were there and not at the club. I thought about that and I ave to do a better job of separating myself from things that are not Christ like. I can't expect my friends at work to get saved and believe Jesus died for them and they can have eternal life if I am cutting up and acting up. Oh believe me the people close to me can see the changes in my life and see the Christ working in me but I have to work harder and take one day at a time. Oh I know I will mess up but as long as I am doing my best and even better than that I will have victory.

I have to talk to people about the love of Christ. How good he is and that no other God is like my God. I have faith that in the midst of all that complaining and problems, good things and bad things, God will provide for me and my family, love me and talk to me when I need Him. But "If Not" I will praise Him anyway. I think that is a good word.

Oh there is so much more. I have to get the CD so I can listen to it again. Oh and by the way, I had a great time out with Jake the other night. We went to PF Chang and another restaurant to listen to his friend DJ. It was a nice evening.

I know I am going to write what I feel in the blog all the time. Whether good or bad you are gonna know but I just want to make sure I don't always feel bad.

Stay uplifted and be blessed.
