A Christ Follower: The Journey

     For years I have been a Board Certified Pastoral Counselor with The American Association of Christian Counselors, and I am presently working to become a Board Certified Crisis Response Chaplain. Now I am not saying this to highlight something special about yours truly.  I only say this because AACC is leading the way helping folks cope with trauma.      Given the events of 12/14/12, where 26 innocent people were needlessly slaughtered... (most were children). The President of AACC, Dr. Tim Clinton, published this very short--but important-- article given to help people get through trauma.

This is a night where your kids need to have you close. They need to know they’re safe. Pul...

Put it on your calendar:    A DAY TO PRAY  January 20th 2013 .     This is a special day in the lives of Americans... not only because of what the date means (The Day Before The U.S. Presidential Inauguration)  but because of what a difference we can make when we pray.  This challenge is for all people of all political stripes.  And while it is a national challenge for folks in the good ole USA, I am challenging the people of the world to join us.   I am  not asking you to pray to convince our political leaders of anything that favors your own personal political agenda...nor my political agenda.  I am simply asking you to pray for God to speak to our leaders/your leaders in a convincing clear way about God's agenda, whatever that may be.  So I guess I am asking everyone to simply put aside your personal concerns and trust the ALMIGHTY GOD to make God's agenda clear.     ...

A Christ Follower: The Journey: The Right Thing : When you do the right thing God wants of you,   Be sure you go ahead and do that thing no matter what the cost or even the loss to you...

When you do the right thing God wants of you,   Be sure you go ahead and do that thing no matter what the cost or even the loss to you.    For others are NOT the boss of you.    Only before God will you stand:  Do the right thing, even when others do not understand.   Then you will indeed be blessed 2day... Especially 2day   SoJourner

Jeremiah 33:14–16 " ‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. ‘In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; H e will do what is just and right in the land. In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which He will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness. ’"

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord , all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness! C ome before His presence with joyful singing! Know for sure that the Lord He  is God! It is He who made us, and we did not. We are His! We are His people, the sheep of His pasture! Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him and praise His name! For the Lord is good and His love endures forever! His faithfulness continues through all generation!

  But YOU are Holy     O God     Who     Comes To Live   Within   The Praises   Of   Your Covenant People Based On Psalm 22:3     The Holy GOD seems to be influenced to take up residence inside or our being when we practice praise, count our blessings or simply say "Thank YOU!  Why not practice some praise today, especially for Americans as we celebrate Thanksgiving.  If you are not American.  It works for you as well.       HAPPY THANKSGIVING WORLD!!!     SoJourner
