...When you look at the backside of a tapestry its purpose is unclear. But when you see the work from the weavers perspective a beautiful pattern appears.

God is our master weaver..and his promises are true, and his designs for our lives are loving!

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God." -Romans 8:28

Whatever you guys are struggling with, may it be jobs, family, etc remember to let go, and let God.

What are you guys struggling with that needs prayers?

Have you ever watched someone and found yourself saying, "I wish could be in faith like that?" The funny thing is, we can. We all CAN have a faith like that. But are we willing to control our thoughts, words? Am I going to be in faith, or not?

God wants all of us to be in faith. But He wants us to believe Him by CHOICE. The questions is, what are we going to do with the choice?

Hebrews 11:1-6
"1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ²This is what the ancients were commended for.³By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ⁴By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.⁵By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. ⁶And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

MICHELLE, I DON'T THINK THAT YOUR DECISION IS A RIGHT OR WRONG ONE, I THINK THAT OUR DECISIONS ARE WHAT'S GOOD AT THE TIME. A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE MADE FOR US SO NOT TO WORRY. TAKE WHAT COMES. IF IT DOESN'T WORK THEN YOU CAN CHANGE. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! I'M READING THE RAGAMUFFIN GOSPEL RIGHT NOW. I REALLY LIKE IT. I'VE ALSO READ PHILLIP GULLEY'S NOVELS ABOUT A SMALL TOWN PREACHER. VERY FUNNY BUT ALSO SO REAL... TRY TO SEE "AUGUST RUSH" WITH ROBIN WILLIAMS. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, IT'S AWESOME. THE GIRL DOES REMIND ME OF YOU....THINKING OF YOU AND REMEMBERING OUR MISSION TRIP..

Something I know right now I am trying to figure out is finding out where to go from here. The job I have right now is only until mid September. I had an interview Friday afternoon, and it went well. but how do I know if the job offered is right for me?

Romans 8:28 "and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, and to those who are called according to His purpose."

But how do I know if I take something and its following according to his plan, if its where I am supposed to be? How do I know if I'm making the right decision?

An Idea

2009-08-07T17:13:00.000-05:00

So I had the random urge to reach out and start this blog. This year I went on a life changing mission trip to Guyana, South America with other people of the dental world. I have a better understand now what it means to live a life serving God's people. After the trip, I wanted to have a bible group or of some sort to continue to do my work for Him and be in this community of people. So this is what I came to. An idea where people can sign in, share whatever prayers, thoughts, concerns, leave questions for people to answer, and also have a way for people to add comments or whatever. It could be a signed post, an anonymous post, whatever you please. :) I am hoping this will kind work itself out. :) Feel free to e-mail people the password and email account to anyone.

So here's to Him using us to make it a happier and more smiley world.
