I want to start my blog as I always do by thanking my heavenly father for all he is and in the name of Jesus I want to pray for all those states that are being affected by these storms... I want prayer for these surviving family members that not only do they need to put their homes and lives back together but also have to mourn the lost of their love ones....
I saw in the news that a little girl they found lost her life today... Her family had died in their mobile home. I would like to believe that she has went up to heaven and join the rest of her siblings....

What Is On Your Heart?
Hebrews 8:10
10“… I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts…”
Many of us have been taught that we cannot trust our hearts. We quote verses like “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…” (Jeremiah 17:9), not knowing that Jeremiah was referring to the man who had not received Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
But the desire comes from my heart. How do I know if it is of God?”
My friend, once you are saved, you have a brand new heart (Ezekiel 36:26), and you can trust the promptings of your heart because God dwells in you and He leads you from within. And don’t worry because His promptings will never contradict His Word. It will lead you to good success.
Often, you find that when you follow your inner promptings, it is actually God who has put those desires in your mind and written them on your heart. I remember years ago when I approached one of our church leaders and told him, “I really think that you are called to be a full-time pastor.” It turned out to be a confirmation of what he already knew on the inside. You see, God was already leading him from within. Today, he is one of our full-time pastors.
If you enjoy something and desire to do it, then go for it! Go with the flow. God Himself says that He will guide us from within. Let’s not doubt Him. And don’t worry about the outcome. Your part is just to follow the flow. God’s part is to work in you both the willingness and the performance of it! (Philippians 2:13)
Beloved, because God has given you a new heart, He will write His desires on it. And as you fulfill these desires, you will bring forth fruit, and not wither and die. Whatever you do will prosper!
It's been quite a while since I have read my town's paper... I found a joke I wanted to share....
"Haircut"
A young boy had just gotten his driver's license and inquired of his mother, an evangelist , if they could discuss the use of the car.
His mother said, " I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up from C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car."
Well, the boy thought about that for a moment , decided that he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks, they went into the study, where his mother said, " Son I've been real proud . You've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible and participating a lot more in the Bible study groups. However, I'm disappointed since you haven't gotten your hair cut. "
The young man paused a moment and then said, "You know, Mom, I've been thinking about that. I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair also."
To this, his mother replied, " Did you also notice that they walked everywhere they went?"
Remember I just read the jokes........ and share...
Have a great day..
