He's been faithful..

God has been so good to me.

how could we ever thank Him?

for new life?
the gospel?
freedom?(happy fourth!)
freedom of worship?
family?
friends?
house?
car?
food?
water?
life?
clothes?



we should think about these simple things every day!!

when i was a worldview my small group leaders encouraged us with a couple of thoughts about prayer/praising the Lord...



A-adoration

C-confession

T-thanksgiving

S-supplication





adoration- praise Him.. adore Him...just simply praising God for who he is....just take five minutes and praise Him for His attributes, praise Him for what He has done in your life!!



confession- ask forgiveness for the things you have done wrong. ask him to help you remember to do better next time.



thanksgiving- thank Him...take five or ten minutes...(i know that sounds like a lot but once you start going...)



supplication- we tell Him our needs...funny this one is at the end...:)





we have SO much to be thankful for!!

take every opportunity you have to tell someone about our God and Savior, Jesus Christ!!

Our God is so Big, so strong and so mighty!

i went to worldview academy last week.
it was so so so so so good.
i learned that:
it will not always turn out our way,
but God is still faithful!~Praise the Lord!
there is so much corruption in the world.
evangelizing is SO important.
everyone is going to die...
how much do we hate a person
to not tell them about heaven?
God is a just and merciful God!!
i learned more than that..i will write again later.

He(God) has been so good to me.

Ok well i know i have not written and i am sorry. boo madison. oh well.

Hillsongs United - At The Cross lyrics

Hillsongs United - At The Cross lyrics: "Oh Lord You've searched me
You know my ways
Even when I fail You
I know You love me

Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me

Chorus
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now?

You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me
Chorus
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now (x5)

You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done (x5)

And when the earth fades
falls from my eyes
You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me

Chorus
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now (x2)


You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done (x4)

Garfield!

I go to Garfield school once a week to help out in a good news club. Garfield is a inner city school, where most of the kids have one or two parents in jail. A good news club is a afternoon club, we sing, play review games, and learn about God; and last but not least we love the kids. Today we watched the second half of the Jesus movie for children. There were two girls in particular who were very touched by the movie.They both cried when Jesus was crucified. My dad and I talked to one of the girls about how to get to heaven and why Jesus had to die....but i don't know about her. The other girl had to leave a little bit early and she was still crying. Would you join me in praying for these girls, and for all the kids at Garfield. Also for two little boys who have both had trouble this year. Thanks!!
