How GREAT is our GOD Day 3..

I found this amazing story written one of my friends on fb. I can’t share the person’s name.

“A man who is about 24 years old is walking down the street homeless for over almost 4 years now. Asking people for food and money. This man was not a man of ignorance or negativity. He just lost his home due to a major fire from the inside of his house. This man lost his two twin daughters and his wife of 8 years in the fire. He survived but now has nothing.”

One day, this man went to the a gas station up the street to find more people to give him something to eat. He ran into this young lady. This young lady was about 22 years old. She was in college and had alot going for her. So the homeless man went up to her and asked her “What is the matter why is she so sad? She answered: “I lost my job, my grades are not good, my parents dont listen to me and I just broken up with my boyfriend of 3 years.” The man replied and said “Sorry to hear that. I just have one thing to say to you. From what I hear your going through a lot of things right now but trust me when I say its not gonna end this way. You still have a chance for something greater in life so your should hold your pretty face up high and continue on with life. Coming from experience, IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!I am a homeless man out here begging for food and money.

Trust me, there is a whole lot you should be thankful for in the process. I am not the best person to share bible scripture with, but the last scripture I read keeps me going and I hope that it blesses you. It says: For I know the plans that I have for you declares the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
The young lady was so blessed by the message he gave her. She gave him great thanks by taking him to get something to eat and actually bought him a gift card to shop for clothes.

Ending of this message, the homeless man went to church one day and gave his life to christ! He ended up living with the pastor who gave him a job at his funeral home. So on TODAY, this homeless man is now running his own business, has a two story house in the suburbs, and is currently engaged to be married to his new wife to be.

Whats so amazing about this short story is not only do I know this man, but it shows me that no matter if your a crackhead, prostitute, etc. God gets pleasure in using this so-called names to be a blessing and a true example of TRUST AND FAITH! People like this man are a mystery to God. It just proves that he can take anyone and turn their life around.

The best part of this story is HIS WIFE TO BE IS THE YOUNG LADY HE RAN INTO AT THE GAS STATION!!!! GOD IS AN AMAZING GOD…..

What can I say?! How Great is our GOD!!!!

How Great is our God Series..

For the rest of the days in 2013.
I will be focusing on God’s Greatness on this Blog.
My mind is so quick to think about the wickedness of the enemy that I forget about God’s greatness.

Colossians 2:10b-God is the head of all principality and powers.

Pls follow me as I educate myself on God’s Greatness.
In fact, the fact u r alive shows God’s Greatness!!!

Deal or No Deal?

Have u ever made a deal with the Lord?
I don’t know if it is a good idea or not. deal-or-no-deal-4 Well, I just made one with the Lord not to question his power; however, so I can know his perfect will. I have hung on to worthless things for too long, it is time to let God be God.

Jer 29:11-For he knows the thoughts he has towards us, thought of good and not of evil to bring us to an expected end.

Techno Babies..

ImageI call them “Techno Babies” in short for Technology Babies.
Why?
I have interacted with kids ages 1-4yrs..
It seems all of them know to work gadgets.
Gadgets as in a tablet, i-pad, i-pod.. Just to name a few.
And I am not talking about those made for kids.
It amazes me how they know to work it.
Give them a gadget..
You just have to turn on the power button and they know what to do.

It makes me wonder does God equip our new babies in the womb to know how to work new advances in technology?? It sounds like a crazy thought but we serve a Mighty God that is also full of surprises.

It amazes me, how a 4yr old knows how to get on a tablet..
without asking knows how to get on youtube to find her shows.
Of course, her parents may have shown her how to a few times
but the ability for her to navigate  way without much assistance is amazing.

I gave a 2yr old my laptop to play Angry birds..
I thought, i’d have to instruct him on how use the mouse to play.
Well, he got on the laptop and just knew what to do.

I don’t have a child,
maybe these kids have watched their parents long enough that they know what to do.
Who knows..

Say Cheese..

snapshot(13)When I was younger, I didn’t like taking pics because I didn’t like the way I looked in them.
Now, am looking bk..
I missed a lot of precious moments, I could have captured to show my kids later in life.

You know the deal about moments, if you don’t capture them when you can, it passes you by. Don’t let insecurities cheat you from capturing those precious life moments you can’t never have bk.

Life is in phases..
If you don’t capture it,
it passes you by.

So..snap away!!

Decisions..

I am having a hard time knowing what to share on this blog.
As you know, I have 9jagirl4real and I write more often on it than this one.
I have a heart for people
and a passion for helping people..
As the Lord will lead..
this blog will be up and active in 2013..
I don’t know what I will be sharing on this blog..
I have a lot of ideas.
I pray God takes over.
