Worry

_____________________________

Matthew 13:22 "The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the Good News, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares of this life."

Colossians 3:2 "Let Heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth."

  Worry is like thorny plants--both crowd out what is good. Our worry over the concerns of life becomes sin when it prevents the Word of God from taking root in our life.

  Why do I worry so much? How can I worry less?

God Remembers, God delivers, God restores

  In preparing my message on Zechariah for tonight at 3D I thought to myself, how can I make this book relevant to these junior highers. Are they even going to understand what I'm talking about? More so, what does God wants them to hear and understand? I outlined what I was going to talk about and prayed asking the Lord that whatever He wanted me to say, I would, and whatever He didn't want me to say, I wouldn't. Just enough so that the kids could hear and get what His point is. That we should repent, and follow the call He has given to us. Not to waste time on things that we think are good for us, when in reality the Lord wants to give us sooo much more. Here is small bit of what I posted to the 3D blog below:

Thankful

  I'm sitting here reflecting on the day's events, and I really don't have much to say except that I am thankful. Thankful for who God is, thankful for what He's done for me, and thankful that I can talk to Him whenever I please. I'm just simply... thankful =]

I love you Lord!

Processing...

  Just got in from Jacmel, Haiti last night and what an experience it was. I couldn't even begin to describe in detail everything that went on. It was great getting to make connections with the children there, play games and soccer, just being a part of their world. Building a house and a school, helping with the feeding program, washing kids hands and serving as Jesus did with His disciples.
  Worshiping in their church, hearing the songs being sung in creole and realizing that a lot of the songs they sang, are songs we sing in the church. Knowing that although there are definite cultural differences between us and the Haitians as well as the language, and seeing how we still praise the very same Jesus was amazing.

  I pray that I won't ever forget this trip

Jacmel, Haiti

  I was supposed to update this yesterday, I'm getting the feeling that I can't seem to remain consistent in updating every 10 days =P However; I decided to go ahead and write considering that I won't be able to update on the 20th.

  I will be leaving in four days for Jacmel, Haiti and I am sooo excited to see what the Lord is going to do while I'm there with my team [some members from my church]. We are partnering with forward edge international and I just pray that the Lord will have His way and that we would all be open to His will to serve the haitian people and show them the love of Christ. Amen.

I'll try and write when I get back =]

Feel free to keep tabs on us at www.tcchaiti.com I'm not sure about internet access out there but if so, some of us will be trying to update from there on what we are doing so that you can be a part of our journey and mission.

Blessings~

Ahh, What a Good Feeling

  I'd like to say that I've been pretty consistent in writing every ten days but then that wouldn't be true, I've missed a few in between and when I have something great to write I'm not anywhere near my laptop, so... I'm writing now just because it's the tenth day =P I won't go on a rant though.

Getting to Know You, Getting to Know all about You

  I was just thinking of that song from the King and I, not sure why... but either way, I thought of how I want to get to know Christ and know all about Him. Truth may be though that none of us will ever understand or know God, He is too mysterious for us to comprehend. However, getting to the real reason of writing this,
