Involve Yourself

You can't just sit around & complain about life! You need to go out & take life for everything that you make it & if you don't like something you be the change that you want to see!!!!!!!!

I love when people say that they feel left out or uninvolved in what is going on in the world, community, church, politics, their relationship, their friends or life in general....

Hint, Hint ;)
IF YOU WANT TO FEEL INVOLVED, GET INVOLVED!

There is so much that we can ALL do to make life as we see it better & at the end of the day if you aren't going to change then you can't complain.... Because life gives you a deck a card, you deal yourself your hand, you know what you are working with & if you don't throw your cards in and deal yourself more, well at least don't complain about it ;)

Happy Holidays!

Mid Week Service

Some go to church on holidays only, some might go every once and awhile; I'm proud of me for going the past few Sundays and tonight! So here is a recap for the ones that might need this:

Pastor Sharon Crank "When I Get Through This" Luke 22:31-32

"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to have you, to sift you like wheat, but I have pleaded in prayer for you that your faith should not completely fail."

Some of us have gone through the same battles and the same struggles just at different intensities. If you are going through a tough time in your life you need to understand that GOD "Must be up to something!" These trials are to help us draw closer to him and further away from the worldly things; we go through these things to push us to the next dimension not the next level. The difference is the next level is just going from one floor to the another, staying in the same place but when you are taken to the next dimension then you are pushed out of where you are thus you are in a different place! We want to be taken to the next dimension, so STAY FAITHFUL and HOLD ONTO YOUR FAITH!

Satan wants to 'sift' (shake, strain and seperate one substance from another) us from GOD; this is his only goal in life! Satan wants us to be disloyal to GOD, he wants us to prove that we are fake and discredit GOD by using us. We need to refer to 1 Peter 5:8 "Be careful- watch out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry, roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart." And remember that GOD has already 'pleaded in prayer for you that your faith should not completely fail!' So remember that despite anything and everything you need to TRUST IN GOD!

Be blessed and remember that what you are going through now does not represent your future! ;-)♥ ♥

"You... Enlarged Me When I Was In Distress." Psalms 4:1

Are you ready for bigger things?

"Did you know that the hermit crab looks for a shell that fits him, then lives in it till he outgrows it? At that point he has to scurry along the ocean floor and find a bigger one; it's a process that repeats itself throughout his entire life. Are you clinging to something that no longer fits you, just because it's easy and familiar? David said, "You...freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress." To develop and grow spiritually you must be willing to move out of your comfort zone and deal with a little "distress." What worked for you yesterday may not work today. Maybe it's a job you've outgrown, a relationship you need to reexamine or a behavior you need to change. Regardless of what it is, never become so "settled" that you can't go and move on when you need to.

Patience and persistence are admirable, but they won't work in situations you've outgrown. Instead of hanging in and trying harder, at certain points you have to stop and ask yourself, "Is this situation good for me?" If you're not sure, ask God for "an understanding mind (to)... know the difference between...right and ...wrong." His Word says, "If you need wisdom.. ask (him), and he will (gladly) give it to you." When God says it's time to move on, it's because there's another shell out there that will fit you even better. But you can't take occupancy till you vacate the old one. So how about it- are you ready for bigger things?"
