All I can say today is what I say everyday.  THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!

His word is the same, yesterday, today and forever, to which I say, AMEN

I have found so much peace in His word, but today I'm reminded of the passage, "Come to me all who are tired of carring heavy loads and I will give you rest".  This fits nicely along with "don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has it's own troubles"  and "who can add one unit of time to his life by worrying"?  I don't claim to be any more than a man.  One whom is striving to build a closer relationship with my God.  I find comfort in hearing from others that our Lord wants to answer our prayers, but we must trust him and quiety wait for him to put us where we need to be in order to accomplish His will.  I can't say I've mastered this, but I can clearly see the changes my God has made in me over the past year, and I have been blessed.  I also find comfort knowing that with every trial my God is guiding me to the next step of my spiritual growth.  I believe that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was put here, not only to pay for my sins, but also as an example of whom I am to follow. I will never be anything close to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, after all, I am merely a mortal man whom has a willing mind and soul, but my flesh is weak.  However, with the help of the Holy Spirit I hope to be ready to enter the kingdom of heaven, when that time comes.  My thoughts often turn to the parable about the seed sown on rocky soil, amoung the thorn bushes, and on the good soil.  I wonder to myself, where am I at, at this moment?  Am I one that the devil snatches before the word has a chance to sprout?  NO... Am I one that has been sown amoung the thorn bushes? I don't think so..  Am I one that hears the word and believes it until trials come and then revert to the ways of this world?  I say ney ney.  I do feel I have been given the word, to hear, and to understand, and to share with others, however, I must tell you, I have much to learn and overcome before I feel I can share to my full potential, but even this will come in the Lords time, and certainly with his help.  I'm reminded of Paul, and how much time the Lord took to prepare him for his journey. 

So for today, and everyday, I am here Lord to do Your will, no matter what, no matter where.  I owe everything I have and everything I am, to you.  I can give you nothing you don't already have, but I can give you myself to do whatever you desire of me, and do it joyfully.
