Time flies when you are having fun with Jesus

It looks like 2013 is an express train to summer. Events planned every weekend until those beach days are back. How did February even get to its second half? Ash Wednesday was just a day off from eating pounds of sweets the Mardi Gras/Carnival festivities and Valentine’s day mushiness that surrounded it. It was almost hard to remember that we are in this solemn season of Lent. Friday I tried to bring myself back to the prayer and Bible reading I said I'd devote to Jesus. I only really caught up this morning. These 40 days are the weeks I cherish most in the year because it is my season to grow closer to God. We experience the Charismatic Conference and this time annually since 2008 and it just invigorates our home with energy, life and joy. No New Year’s resolution can mean much in January. The Lord has to kick us off to the right game plan during this season of Lent. Then it is game on Easter to Easter! The lessons learned during these 40 days have proven to be life changing. All I have to do is give up a bit of me, stop talking and let God breathe wisdom into my ears. Nothing compares to the experiences I've had during this time. Cherish it. Get to know the Lord and his Word. It has a power inconceivable and unexplainable. God speaks to us each in our own unique way. He knows us best. The icing on the cake - Christians around the world are preparing for Easter. A united Body of Christ is what the world really needs to witness! Be the beacon of light that draws people to the love the Father always wanted us to know, share and live in.

Stop to Go

Our existence in this world is far greater than any purpose or plan we create on our own.

If we don't stop to be Jesus to the world when Spirit interrupts...Jesus' mission stops.

"But now you have arrived at your destination: By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God. Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe—Christ's life, the fulfillment of God's original promise."
Galatians 3:25-27 MSG

This verse really hit me when I was listening to a lesson on kindness at Lead Her. Based on Colossians 3, kindness is one of the items we should be wearing daily as Christians. Does the world see it? If they really saw Christians united in love, we would have a united front for Jesus that would be credible Truth by the evidence in acts of kindness.
