Holy day or Holiday

For many the Holy day of Christmas has become a holiday. We need to remember what Christmas is all about.

J- Jesus It is all about Jesus, only about Jesus, all for Jesus

O- Others We need to put others before ourselves. Family, friends and even strangers

Y- You We need to humble ourselves under the mightgy hand of God and He will exault us

Jesus + Others + you = JOY

still in

I am still on the journey and still in the fight.

it has been a while but here I am

Matthew 8:18-27 reminds us that true discipleship is following the orders of Jesus without excuses. If I say I will follow then I must count the cost. Jesus reminded the scribe that sacrifice is a part of discipleship. Personal interests cannot come first when following the Lord. On the journey there will be storms that arise from what appears to be out of nowhere but Jesus commands us not to fear but to have faith. When our trust is in the Lord to lead us we will be amazed at what things the Lord can do.

John Paton said " Nothing so clears the vision and lifts up the life, as a decision to move forward in what you know to be entirely the will of the Lord."
