He hid me

Through out our walk there are times where we feel, I don't know I guess lost and invisible. Why am I not being used? Well there are 3 reasons.
1. God is preparing you for something. As a weapon or tool you need to be crafted, smoothed, polished and sharpened. This take a while and during this time while you go through this there is another process:
2. God is protecting you. As you are prepared you are taken and protected so nothing can happen to you where you might be damaged or destroyed and can not be used.
3. Till the time that you will be projected to do what God has prepared and called you to do. Just as you do not send a soldier out with out training and a sportsman with out training and preparation God does not send you out without preparation and seasoning.
Remember we all go through this, remember that Jesus went thru the desert before he was allowed to go out into his ministry.
In Jesus

New Day

This is a new season we are in. Things are moving in a new way, opportunities are opening in new ways. In the church I attend City of Refuge, Pastor Jennifer the CO Pastor is now Senior Pastor at a church in WV. Then out of the blue I am now in the praise and worship band as the lead guitar player. Also a quick testimony, we had a fund raising to help Pastor Kevin Smith deal with some of the expenses he accrued with the sickness of his wife Pastor Renee. Well I felt God tell me to give $1000. I did and did not think anymore about it. Well 2 days later I noticed when I was payed I had not spent as much as I thought so I was able to put the check in my savings. Long story short, with in 2 days God doubled the amount I originally had in savings before the donation. God is good. Bottom line God is moving in new ways and we all need to be ready.
God bless

Memories

This last week has been tough, I lost alot of childhood and growing up idols. I really did not think that Michael Jacksons death would bother me. I was wrong. I started thinking of the times in college when I first heard Thriller and growing up watching the Jackson 5 and the cartoon. The man is gone let the accusations go also and remember the good he did and that he has 3 children that he left and not hurt them too.
