someone once told me that “the enemy only attacks those that are a threat to him and remind him of Jesus.” — and if that’s true, than I choose to SMILE through the TRIAL! 😁

I’m SOOOO FAR from living out this CRAZY LOVE! But, it’s my mission and my life. Even as I disappear from stages and spotlights, I sense Jesus’ purpose and passion more and MORE! The steps I’m taking next may be the CRAZIEST yet! I hope so! Jesus is my ONLY goal!
Let’s face it, to LIVE for Jesus is crazy!
Crazy radical! Crazy fun! Crazy lonely! Sometimes comes with Crazy threats! And, should always be abounding with CRAZY LOVE! Most of us fake it and therefore, most don’t really notice what’s REAL. We reward big numbers, big buildings and big events but forget that knowing the nameless, feeding the famine or caring for the castoffs is where the HUGE CRAZY heart of Jesus beats loudest!
So, why journal again now? GREAT question! Seriously…. I’m not even sure anyone will read this thing. But, here’s a brief summary of why I’ve landed here and what I hope to accomplish.
Wow — God loves you SO much and has created you to BE a gift to others! His call is a call to freedom and exuberant joy! Answer His call TODAY! He will never quit on you and His call will keep ringing and ringing with LOVE!
Let's really think about what Christ's death and resurrection means to us.
One of the biggest ways God reveals your heart and character is when He allows someone else, who you love, to suffer.
we “Christians” get frustrated because those saved won’t “stick with it” – without first considering: maybe they were never truly saved…
It seems that far too often, we “Christians” find ourselves over-our-heads in pity, condemnation, discouragement or doubt because of this little thing called: “feelings.”
You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own. 9 It isn't something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about. 10 God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. This is why he sent Christ to make us what we are. Ephesians 2:8-10
Q: Is Christmas a time of “extravagant wastefulness” for you?
choosing a pastor has become so weighed down with process and people… prayer, fasting & REALLY listening… then obeying rarely comes into play. In Acts, they arrived at a simple outcome: “it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us” Acts 15:28.
