Shipwrecked on You

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Paul’s Warning Ignored

Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
Acts 27:9-12

Have you ever had any warning signs too? Only to find that you end up in the only shipwreck of the century! But it is okay, because the same way God saved these men even after the warning sign, God is still saving you! Continue reading


A Friend Loves

A Friend Loves At All Times

image

I love that scripture, it bears so much truth…

Friends never change with each other
They grow with each other
Time is meaningful, always worthwhile
There is never envy, but rejoicing within
Your never afraid to be yourself
You share what’s on your heart
Trust is present and never any doubt
When they speak you learn even more
They teach you something valuable
Time passes so quick when your with them
Because your not mindful of your clock
Boredom doesn’t exist ever because there is always something to share
Even silence is golden
Just sharing one by one
If time has passed between them it never hinders the friendship
Smiles are exchanged
Love is always present
They encourage one another
And they are not afraid to be weaker
For words to uplift will always spill through Continue reading


FEAR NOT!

fear-notFEAR! Something all of us have to confront and conquer. A distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. I would only imagine that this fear can come upon the lives of men and women of God when faced with those that are a threat. Unfortunately with recent news in a church in Charleston – this fear is brought to us all. For just one week ago, nine lives were stolen after a bible study. A horrific and extreme tragedy hit our church and a crime inconceivable. For the families that lost loved ones…those that are grieving… as a body of Christ, we grieve with you! Our prayers go out to all the loved ones of Charleston. I can’t image the thoughts of all the people that congregate at this church. For those that stood home on that day or those that survived. God knows all things, for the souls of all those lives are before the Lord. As a Christian, a wife of a pastor, a woman of God, I can only say how sorrowful I am to have learned that this happened in a house of God. May God continue to bring comfort in this time of loss.
