Picture I Took Of A Cross

Don't ask me where the black lines on the top and bottom came from. LOL

The camera worked fine on other images today and only created the lines on this image and on some other angles of the same cross.

HMMMM, wonder if I'm getting some sort of message?

My Prayer Testimony

Last year I was desperate for a job and put much prayer into it.

The field that I work in is very competive, numerous people out there trying to get very few jobs.

So, around last Christmas, God worked a miracle for me.

I put in for this job that I have now, and got it because no one else applied for it, and its a really good job.

Its like he put out his hand and held back everyone else so I could get the position.

Yes folks, God does answer prayer.

Although a lot of the time its not to our liking, but always for our best due to his love for us.

God's Healing

When one thinks of God healing people of disease, its easy to think of all the people who die of cancer, heart disease, and the other big maladies, then wonder where was God then?

God can and certainly does heal people of the big ones, but to fully appreciate God's healing touch, just think of all the times you've succumbed to the flu, or food poisoning, or the common cold. Perhaps it was a tooth abscess, a sprained ankle, or a broken limb.

God has healed you numerous times. Just take a moment and think about it.

Why do some people not get healed and eventually die? I wouldn't even begin to try and guess God's will in that regard.

But all I know is what the Bible says...........all things work together for good for those who love God.

What God Offers

 ²And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

 ³Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

 ⁴And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

 ⁵And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

 ⁶Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

 ⁷And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. (Acts 3:2-7, King James Version)

The lame beggar was thinking in worldly terms when he asked of money from Peter and John.

But Peter and John were filled with the holy spirit and thought in spiritual terms.

If he had received the world's offerings he would have been empty again.

But, upon receiving what God offers he was made whole.

God wants to heal us. Whether it be physically or spiritually.

Take No Thought

 ²⁵Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

 ²⁶Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

 ²⁷Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

 ²⁸And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

 ²⁹And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

 ³⁰Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:25-30, King James Version)


I believe that this is the lesson the Lord tried to instill in me during my ten months of unemployment.

During that time, there was always a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes to wear, and a car to drive.

Trust in God and he will never fail you.

The Little Miracles

My guess is that when people think of miracles, the thoughts of the Red Sea being parted and water turning to wine are the first things to spring to mind.

But I'm learning that in my life God works miracles on a smaller scale every day.

Today I badly needed a certain file at work and looked at the overstuffed box of files it was in figuring it would be a might task. So I look into the box to begin my mighty task, and lo and behold there was my file sticking out like a sore thumb.

The other day my keys ended up being locked inside my car. I didn't have a clue what to do. I ask around for ideas and my team leader tells me his dad has a slim jim tool for getting into cars, and he's on his way over anyway for something completely different.

I was out of work for quite a while, and just when the bills really starting closing in on me, a job appears out of the blue.

Now, I should mention that I prayed for all the above mentioned things, and God came through, just like he always does.

Don't be afraid to ask God anything. If it fits with his will then it will be done.

Spiritual Attack

I think I am in the midst of a spiritual attack.

The enemy is coming after me since I made the commitment to teach Sunday school.

Right off the bat, the first day I taught, there was an incident with another member of the church that wasn't pleasant, but we talked about it and everything is all right now.

The future of my new job that I need so badly, that started out so well, is now on some shaky ground.

And today, well today was just awful.

Woke up in a very foul mood, my car wouldn't start, the washing machine broke down, and my loved ones are having some problems as well.

But God is great, and the devil is all ready defeated.

Whatever Satan brings, the Lord will be my defender.

If any of my brothers and sisters out there get a chance to read this, all prayers will be greatly appreciate.

God Really Does Direct Our Paths

I didn't used to believe so, but the older I get the more I find myself looking back at all the times that God has intervened and directed the course of my life.

When I was six, my mom, my dad, and I lived in a trailer that destroyed the trailer in which we lived. Dad was thrown across the street and landed on his feet. Mom and I were thrown out in the backyard and a piece of tin landed on us, forming a barrier against all the debris flying around. The only injuries we had were a cut on my knee and a cut on mom's forehead.

Then there was the time I was sitting in front of a window with a thunder storm coming up. I got up for some reason or other and just a few seconds later a lightning bolt came through the window, right where I was sitting, and struck the TV.

The point is that God is in control and everything and works all things to his purpose.

If he hadn't protected me then, I wouldn't be here now writing this to praise and glorify him. And I certainly wouldn't be here come Sunday morning to teach Sunday School.


Just as God directed Jonah to Nineveh, he also directs the course of our lives.
