Mighty is Our God

You know what I love? The fact that I have such an awesome, all powerful God. The fact that, no matter what I'm going through, God is there. Always. Not sometimes or only if it's important enough, but always. I'm thankful for that.

The devil has really been trying to make his way into our church. It seems like for the past few months, Sunday has been the day when everything crumbles. Yesterday, some things happened that really made me think. It has also made me grateful to not only have a godly father, but a pastor and all around spiritual leader who lives his life for the Lord and no one else.

In my life, I often want things done my way in my timing. I'm a super impatient person that hates to wait around for anything. Maybe even without knowing it, my dad has taught me how important it is to put all your faith in the Lord. Not some of it, but all of it. I get frustrated with my dad for not dealing with things right when they happen, but he is so much more wise than me in every aspect.

I'm someone who likes to write letters. If I'm upset with someone, hurt by someone, or even worried about someone, I put my pen to the paper and let the words flow. My dad has always told me not to send a letter the day that I write it. He says to put it away, pray about it, and if I still want to send it a few days later, go for it. Do you know how many letters I've written and thrown away shortly after? A whole lot more than the ones I've sent.

My dad does nothing in his timing. If something happens, he prays about it and waits for God to speak to him in some way. Sometimes it's a few hours, sometimes it's a few months, but he always waits for God's perfect timing.

I'm so thankful for my dad and the godly example he is to so many. I'm thankful that the Lord gave my brother's and I a father who has taught and continues to teach us how important it is the press into Jesus Christ. Who knows where Seth, Jesse and I would be without our parents guidance. I'm so thankful serving and glorifying the Lord has always been the number one priority in our house.

So, if you get a chance to pray for our church and our pastor {who I proudly call my daddy}, that would be great. God is doing some mighty work within our church family. Having a leader who's a man whose soul purpose is to follow Jesus Christ is going to take us nowhere but up. I have complete peace and comfort in knowing that the Lord's will will be done at Calvary Temple Church.

95 Degrees

Right now, it's 95 degrees with a heat index of who knows what. I'm inside a nice air conditioned house babysitting all while wishing I was at the beach. Some people can't stand the heat, but I love it! It's times like these that I'm thankful to be living next to the ocean and water parks and having a pool in my back yard.
