Time....
Can I have just a few minutes of your time? ~GOD
God wants a little bit of our time so He can share with us His love and His words. Tonight in discipleship class we talked about being diligent and disciplined. There are four steps in completing a course of action: desire, decision, determination and discipline. Consider a person who desires to meet with God before going to work. he realizes that in order to do so he must get up early so he decides to get up at 6:30am. The next day he oversleeps because his desire and his decision by themselves could not get him out of bed. He then determines to use an alarm clock to help him get up. But the real test comes when the alarm goes off. Discipline must come into focus. He must shut off the alarm clock and choose not to go back to sleep. Good habits can be developed as a result of consistent discipline. Consistency requires trust in the strength God gives. It involves heart, thought and effort on a daily basis. Jesus Christ gave all His love and all His time to die on the cross for us; we owe it to Him to give Him our time and our love. Make no excuses on why you can't spend time with God in any situation. God doesn't give you excuses and He is always there for you. Why can't you be there for him? Don't let it be too late.

How does your garden grow?
See to it that no one misses the Grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. ~ Hebrews 12:15
Does your garden look beautiful with vibrant colored flowers or is it over grown with weeds? Tending to a garden can be hard work. Tending to a Christian life can be hard work as well. Just like a garden can become overrun by weeds so can the life of a Christian. In our walk it is very important to watch what and who comes into our garden because just like a weed it will come in and suffocate what we have planted and soon our garden will start to die. Just like with our journey with God. If we are not careful the devil can send forth his demons (weeds) to lurk around what we have established. We all know that what took you years to build can be destroyed over night. Be careful who you call friends because they reflect who you are! We also need to remember we can't mingle and mix two different lives together and expect God to be ok with it. If we are for God we need to act like it. When we don't we are allowing "weeds" to invade our "garden". Weeds suffucate and drain the soil of important nutrients and prevent beautiful things to grow. As in life if we allow one "weed" to come into our life it can multiply into more and soon enough your spiritual life is dying by taking us away from God. As we tend to our garden we need to sow seeds. A great verse to read is Matthew 13:3-9
3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
God wants us to be a successful seed; to grow in His glory. Let's look in our garden and clear out the weeds that prevent us from being what God wants us to be.

Why do I hold on?
Why do I hold on when I feel like there is no hope and no point...because God asked me to. The pain we feel doesn't compare to the joy that's coming. God has a perfect plan for all of us and He knows how the ending is. When I feel like giving up God gives me a little push and whispers "Hold on....the joy is coming!" God has faith in us and we need to have faith in Him because every promise He promises us- He keeps! He will never let us down. So when God tells you to hold on...Hold on..He has something good in store for you!

When the world walks out.....God is always there!
I have learned the more I am not into the world I see things differently. The world can be cold and cruel and it's sad to say it's not going to get better. The world has nothing for me but God has everything for me. When I needed the world...the world was no where to be found. Every time when the walls came crumbling down- the people I thought were my friends turned their backs but God has always been there with open arms. God, I thank you for being here for me. I know I stumble but You are always there to help me. Thank you, God!!!
"...do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.... Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good." Romans 12:2,9
"If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:19-20
"I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world." John 17:14-18
