Ramblings of your average Christian

Tonight, i have this feeling in me to praise the name of Jesus and give thanks. It really is hard to describe. There is no rhyme or reason. I did not hit the lottery. My health and the health of my family is good. Today was just filled with little events that when totaled together show me the love that Christ has for myself.

My youngest daughter (kyla) was taking a nap earlier and as she was laying next to me i began to really look at her face. It was so soft, peaceful, and perfect. It was like looking at her mother (though some say that kyla actually looks like me). I remember saying thanks to God for sending me such a gift. Kyla’s first year on earth was not easy. It took numerous trips to the hospital and lots of prayers but she is now a healthy baby.

Just before kyla took nap, we were all watching tv in the living room. I was laying on the floor watching tv when all of the sudden nyah (4 years old) jumps on my belly; gave me a huge hug and kiss ans say “i love you daddy”. As quick as she jumps of my stomach, she jumps off as proceeds on her way.

I have never been one to question the existence of God. I do not need to see him to know that he is out there. There is no need to have a conversation with him. To put it in words that kids would understand; if i never got a text message from him i wouldnt be heart broken. When the lord sets up my days as he did today, well, thats all the proof i need that he is out there.

I pray that you all have experienced days like this.

In Jesus name,

PJ

Are you Anxious Pt. 2

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The Lord our Savior offers peace!!!!  Through Jesus all is attainable.  Reading the bible, we can see that through Jesus, anything is possible.  The same thought process can be used in terms or peace and understanding in terms of our emotions.

When we have problems we rationalize a solution.    We think of ways to “get out of the situaion”.  By offereing up our  concerns to Jesus, we leave it up to him.  How great is it to know that we can offer up our concerns to our Savior, and he will put them to ease.  How many nights have you spent tossing and turning because of a problem? Money, Relationships, Children, Work, School, etc. etc.  We have all had those kinds of nights.  In fact, I had one just last week.  I can vividly remember dropping on my knees and yelling our the lords name.  I offered up the problem to him and told him, I leave it all up to you.  TRUST IN THE DECISIONS THE LORD MAKES!!!  We trust him in good time, we must learn to trust him in bad times!!!

Now mind you, that the solution Jesus has, may not be what you want.  It may be the total opposite.  We must trust that the decisions the Lord has made is with our best interest in hand.  Like the verse says; …the peace of God…transcends all understanding…

Glory to the one who deserves all praises…JESUS!!!
