So Today is the day after yesterday and the day before tomorrow. How will you spend your day?
Will you spend your day looking at your yesterdays and wondering what you could have done differently?
Well let me say this, your tomorrows are in the past and you need to look to today and ask God to direct your path and if need be ask Jesus to forgive your yesterdays.
Tomorrow is defiantly a place you want to keep up to good fight and keep the faith. Keep honoring Jesus and He will direct your paths.
God Bless you this wonderful day and May Jesus be the centre of your every thought.

FLIP THIS HOUSE
I was talking to my Mom yesterday and as she read what I wrote she said it reminded her of remodeling. As I thought about that I said absolutely.
You know when you find your heart not following God the way He would like it time to consider remodeling.
When you want to renew your house you go in to the remodeling of the specific room. Such as the bathroom, you change the bathtub and toilet and sink you repaint the walls, But before you paint you look at the wall to be sure they don’t need to be fixed up, meaning do the walls need the wall board (gyprock) replaced, if it needs it you replace it to give it a renewed look.
Now when you are doing all the renovations you could do just what is needed or you could go farther by (as Mike Holmes says) go beyond code.
The same reflects our lives. We need to renovate our hearts daily in order to be clean before God.
We need to ensure that we go beyond Code in order to be effective for Him. This starts by putting on the armour of God found in Ephesians 6:10-15.
Remember that when you put on the armour and you are ready to face the day you can renew your heart and life daily, repent of the things you think are wrong.
God, Please forgive me for all the things that are not pleasing to you. Jesus, make my heart new. Take control of my life and keep me.
God Bless you this day!

Today is the beginning of a New Day!
Today is the beginning of a New Day!
We can either look at it negatively or just rejoice and be glad that we woke up breathing. Yesterday is over and in the past. We need to look to our tomorrows and make them better than our yesterdays. Keep your guard up put on the whole armor of God for today.
Ephesians 6:10-15
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
When we guard our heart by doing this and even praying this we can go through the day and rejoice at the end of it because we started the day positively with God on your side.
"Jesus, I claim this and pray that you would hel me put on the Whole Armor of God, keep you faith going strong and Have a great day."

Where did the weekend go?
Wow the weekend is over and the week begins. We are a funny creature. We live to get to the weekend and everything we do seems to be for that. Think about it when you are in the middle of you week you think wow its only Wednesday (humpday) then only two more days, when Friday hits it "TGIF", then guess what Monday again.
Well if you want to live your life in a ever revolving door then I guess that is for you. What I have and try to do is when people tell me "thank god its Friday" I say to them "yes it is and guess what? you have Monday to look forward to". Not a popular statement but it is that.
If you had someone to live your life for say your girlfriend or your spouse them all would be good....or perhaps not. We all need to take a step back and look at ourselves and decide what or who we are going to live for.
I choose to live for Jesus.
I found this in the devotional "My Utmost for His highest."
http://www.rbc.org/utmost/index.php
At the beginning of our life with Jesus Christ, we were sure we knew all there was to know about following Him. It was a delight to forsake everything else and to throw ourselves before Him in a fearless statement of love. But now we are not quite so sure. Jesus is far ahead of us and is beginning to seem different and unfamiliar— "Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed" (Mark 10:32 ).
There is an aspect of Jesus that chills even a disciple’s heart to its depth and makes his entire spiritual life gasp for air. This unusual Person with His face set "like a flint" (Isaiah 50:7 ) is walking with great determination ahead of me, and He strikes terror right through me. He no longer seems to be my Counselor and Friend and has a point of view about which I know nothing. All I can do is stand and stare at Him in amazement. At first I was confident that I understood Him, but now I am not so sure. I begin to realize that there is a distance between Jesus and me and I can no longer be intimate with Him. I have no idea where He is going, and the goal has become strangely distant.
Jesus Christ had to understand fully every sin and sorrow that human beings could experience, and that is what makes Him seem unfamiliar. When we see this aspect of Him, we realize we really don’t know Him. We don’t recognize even one characteristic of His life, and we don’t know how to begin to follow Him. He is far ahead of us, a Leader who seems totally unfamiliar, and we have no friendship with Him.
The discipline of dismay is an essential lesson which a disciple must learn. The danger is that we tend to look back on our times of obedience and on our past sacrifices to God in an effort to keep our enthusiasm for Him strong (see Isaiah 1:10-11 ). But when the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come the ability to follow Jesus truly, which brings inexpressibly wonderful joy

HUG
It's wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can soothe a small child's pain,
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug, there's just no doubt about it---
We scarcely could survive without it!
A hug delights and warms and charms,
It must be why God Gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers;
And chances are your favorite aunts
Love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them, puppies love them;
Heads of states are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier,
And make travel so much merrier.
No need to fret about your store of 'em;
The more you give, the more there's more of em.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today!!!!
