God Has Done Extraordinary Things for Us!

God has done extraordinary things for us! He loved us so much that He sent His Son down for us, Who willingly gave up His life for us! He has used extraordinary people in extraordinary situations to accomplish His Will. He has not nor does He want for any of us to perish but to repent (2 Peter 3:9b). He has been very patient with us. Let us give up those hellish things and chase after heavenly things-chase after God the way He has chased after us. :)

Stop The Self Entitlement Attitude

People have to really let go of that "self-entitlement" attitude that they carry around. As if cussing someone out is going to really get you far in life. I shake my head at some of the things people say. I'm well aware, people, that the economy is in a downward state. Having said that, you are not entitled to every single thing in life. My mother has this saying that she told me early on in life. Life is not Fair. I believe that too. You are not going to always get what you want or think you deserve. So many complaints going on. How about stop complaining and start kneeling in prayer to God. How about take the good with the bad.

It is hard to deal with someone or empathize with them when they think they are entitled to every single thing. It's an easy attitude to catch. I have found myself like them. I shake my head at myself as well. Having said that, I have never cussed a person out for doing their job. Never! Granted, I don't like cuss words and am pretty non confrontational. Still, the point is, the attitude has to go. People have to start treating each other with respect. I will leave y'all with this from the One Who knows everything, Jesus, my Savior:

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12

Keep it Real People,

This Detrailed Train is Getting Back on Track

I have to be frank with each and everyone of you. I have lost my way in Christ. I have stopped living for Christ. I won't say that I have succumbed to it because I'm still here by the mercies of God. I have not surrendered completely and I sure as heck have not died. I have been a derailed train, trying to get back on track. I have no one to blame but myself. I have not been reading of the Word. That right there is opening oneself up to attacks that can't be fought off.

Let's think about that statement for a second. Let's think about what the Bible has said about the Word: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart," Hebrews 4:12. The Word is apart of the armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). This is our weapon. A great team has great offense and great defense. You can't win a game without the other one.

If the ballgame is tied 2-2 and you can't get your's runners home, you don't stand a chance at winning. The same is like this for us. How are we to win, if we have no offense-if we are constantly struggling with the world? We can't. We have to push forward. We have to fight back. The only way we can do this is by going into the Word. I'm beginnning in Genesis and will be doing a chronological study of the Word. I'm feeling WAY better than I did last week.

Remember saints that there is NOTHING nor ANYONE worth going to hell for!!! Keep pressing forward in our daily reading. Let's spend time meditating on His Word. If not, y'all end up like me: a detrailed train, trying go get back on tracks.

Pray for me brothers and sisters.

Love ya,
Mary

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help," Psalm 146:3.

Why is the churches putting politics in? Why are we building up men (#teamObama or #teamRomney)? Why are we not putting Christ up? It disheartens me to see a Minister put nothing up on her Facebook about Christ but degrading Romney and lifting up Obama. Can't we as the body of Christ see that the only One that will fix this nation is Christ Himself. No politician will be able to fix this mess we are in. TheWord of God makes it clear what we are to do as a nation: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land," 2 Chronicles 7:14. No where in this do you see Romney or Obama.

Concerned for this Nation, the churches, the body of Christ, and leaders of the churches
