A Walking Miracle, Indeed!

                                               HE was wounded for our transgressions!

He was bruised for our iniquities!
HIS punishment brought peace to us!
And by HIS stripes we are healed!
Isaiah 53:5

If God gives me one more day, which will bring us to September 7th, 2020, Labor Day, I will be experiencing another amazing God Miracle! I will be celebrating my 70th Birthday 🎂. This will be a miracle because my life expectancy, of 5 years, has stretched more than a couple of decades! My Cardiologist calls me a walking miracle. And so I am, Indeed! Hallelujah 🙏 This has provided me with opportunities to provide ministry, for my Lord Jesus, and His Kingdom, in ways I could never have imagined. One day at a time living has helped Vicki and me face some real heartbreaking challenges that few could ever imagine facing.

For quite a while, now, and until September 7th and beyond, I will continue to declare – each new day – “This is the day that the Lord has made! I will REJOICE and be glad in it 🙏 🙌 “No matter what life hands me, I am committed to take each day as a gift from God! And I really do live one day at a time because God gives me grace to do so; additionally, I continue,with God’s help, in Jesus, by the wonderful power of God’s Holy Spirit, to live life to its fullest on each of those days.

If you take on the one day at a time life style, as you entrust each day to God, you really will experience R.E.S.T. (Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today.) Jesus has taught us to live this way. And you will be glad you made these kinds of Jesus choices! Why? Because you, too, can be a miracle indeed, as you follow Jesus in this way! For you will learn, as I have learned, that it really is NOT what happens to you in life, but what you do with what happens to you in life. Then you will find God will take care of the rest, in some surprising ways, if you let HIM … one day at a time.

God Bless You

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
