great week

It has been a great week so far. I have managed to get alot of things done that I have put off. I wonder if it is because I have been getting up earlier and spending more time with Jesus in the mornings as well as at night. I can see it has made a huge difference in my life and the way that I feel.

We have had alot of snow the past week. I love it too. I would be right out in it if I could. I sat and watched those big flakes come down yesterday and it was beautiful. I also saw several Cardinals fly from the pine trees across the road from me. It looked like there were 25 or 30. They were beautiful against the white snow.

I know when God made snow He had to say, "IT IS GOOD"!!! I always think of it like GOd cleansing a person from sin. The ground is all dirty and everything is dead during the winter. Then there comes a fresh snowfall and everything looks so clean and white. The Bible tells us that our sins will be white as snow. Then after a day or two, when the snow stops, things begin to start looking dirty again. When people wlk in it, drive in it, etc. Before long it will be gone and there will be mud. Just like so many do after they receive Christ as their Savior. After awhile they get comfortable and don't keep that enthuasium they had at first. They begin to allow the world to creep in and bring the "mud" through distractions. They allow their focus to wander to the left and to the right, weaving back and forth off the right path.

Jesus is so wonderful. I am so thankful that He picked me top be alive at this time. When the world thinks everything is gloom and doom, with Jesus it is the most wonderful time to be alive. We have Hope. We have Giod's promises. We have everything we need in Jesus. Let the world see Jesus in your life and what He will do. Be a witness to those around you. The world is reaching out for something to help them. They are getting desperate and we have the answer. Oh how we can impact this world for the Lord right now.

I pray you know Jesus in that intimate way. So many Christians are living one step in the world and not fully given themselves over to the Lord. They are miserable, discouraged, depressed, stressed out, etc. There is life, peace and joy in the Lord. Make the decision today to surrender your life totally to Him. You will be glad you did.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT!!!! Ps. 23:1
