BIG STEPS

This weekend was a big day for me. I got enrolled as a Soilder of the Salvation Army. I always told myself that I would never see myself as a Soilder because I didn't thing I was ever going to be ready but God proved me wrong. God told me that he wanted me to be a Soilder, that he has great things planed for me. I can't wait. So back to the Soilder Enrollment. We were asked if we wanted to share a testimony and I had said yes. I didn't prepare one because I know that God would speak through me. Then on Saturday night I had something I mind to talk about, but on my way to church that morning something cool happened. So when I got to the churhc God said April this is what I want you share and I was like but I already have prepared. God told me that would be the best thing to share and I did. God was right sharing what happened on the bus was the right thing to share. So I will share with all you. I was sitting on the bus going to church and I was in my uniform. This laide I was sitting beside asked what the uniform was for and I got to tell that I was becoming apart of the Salvation Army today. That I was becoimg a Soilder. She was so interested in it. Then we got to talking about the Salvation Army and how there are lots of Minstary that are from the Salvation Army. That was a great converation. This is something I had asked God for along time ago. Actually this was an image I had awhile back ago and God revieled it to me. It is so great how God works. I am so happy to in the war for him because I am going to offer myself to him. Just like it says in Romans 12:1 I urge you brethen in the mercys of God to offer yourselfs as living sacifices places and holy to. This is your spirital act of worship. This is a great scripture.

ONE BODY ONE CHURCH

This week I have come along some very interesting blogs about community and how God has called us to be One Body. For me this is something that I have felt for along time was not really happening. That I wasn't doing a good job with showing that I am the church. We all are one in the eyes of the Lord. We are what makes up the church. I remeber in the bible not sure where but that it talks about all the different body parts and without them we could not live. Which is so true because each body part is used for different things. Just like we aren't anything with Jesus in our lives. He is the one that made us. I find that when I fall away from the Lord my life is incomplete because then I start felling like there is something missing. That is Jesus. He is what makes me complete. Thats why we should be in community with each other . We should all be one body.

Genesis 28:3
May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.
Genesis 28:2-4 (in Context) Genesis 28 (Whole Chapter)

Lets all be in community with each other. Lets all be One Body One Church. Lets do this for Jesus because he died on the church for our sins. We should due everything to please him and only him. This is my pray that we will all be one body one church. That we will live our lives for Jesus.

WITNESSING

Last I come home chruch after decided that I was not going to hang out with a friend because I didn't want to go all the way out to Surrey. If I went to Surrey I would have had to stay the night at a friends place. I wanted to just be at home and good thing I went home because when I got in the house my mom had a friend over. We all got to talking and I was able to witness to them both even though my mom friend goes to chruch. Just being able to talk about what I know and having my mom listen to what I was saying was great. We tak about things in the bible and what is God wants to see us do in life. We also talk about what is wrong in the eyes of God and what is wrong in the eyes of the world. It was great to be able to witness to them both. To let them know what I know about the bible. My mom's friend said to me wow you know your bible and I was like well I don't know it that great but I am trying to read more so then I will know my bible more. I was able to talk to them about the Salvation Army and how great they are because my mom's friend said that she didn't like the Salvation Amry because something happened when she went there and I was like the Salvation Army is the best chruch I have ever gone to. I have been to many chruches before but they are nothing like the Salvation Army. I believe the God has called me to be there and I am happy that I listened to God when he told me that was were he wanted me to be. What a great night I was so happy that my mom got to hear me talk about this stuff. I even shared something that I told myself I would never tell my mom. I told her that I use to smoke when I was in high school, but that God delieved me from that.
One cool thing is that this is all happening a week before I am being enrolled as a Soilder of the Salvation Army. I now know that this is the right decision for me because I feel that God is speaking through me and he won't stop. Not that I want him to stop speaking through me. I am so on fire for God and this flame is burning stronger then ever. I can't wait for Sunday. This is something God has been talking to me about for the last couple of months and I am ready to take this step. I am ready to witness to others and not be afraid because I know that God will take care of me. What agreat way to start the week. Being on fire for God.

WORSHIP

Last night I was at the Hill for the evening service. It was really great the worship was something I really needed. I was struggling this week with my focus on God because of somethings that have gone. This week all I thought about was me and what I wanted. I should have not thought about myself because I am living today because of God. So i should have been listening to what God wanted me to do and not what I wanted. God is going to support me in allo that I need. So ther worship was great I was able to give myself to God and surrend all that I needed to , to him. I had to ask God to forgive me for all that I had done this week. The whole not focusing on him and only on myself. I leaqrnt a reall good lesson from all this and that is that God want to show me all kinds of things. He wants me to listen to him and to wait for what he wants me to do. I want to give my worship to God. All I have to hiom and that is all I have to offer to him is my all. Worship for me is the best way to have intamcy with him and that is what I want to have a relationship with him.
That nigth I was going through a tuff time and just being able to lay mylife down for the Lord was the best thing ever. During the worship I was lieing down at the alter and a friend come up to me and asked if I needed pray and I said yes. At that moment I know that God wanted me to ask for forgiveness for what I had done that week. I lost all focus on God because I was fovusing on all the money I would be making not what I was suppose to be fouscing on. I was suppose to be focusing on what was going to happen to next day. I haed a family meeting. It went okay I guess. Not what I wanted to hear but it is not about me. It is about what God wants and what he thinks is best. That is something I have been struggling with. I pray that God will show me what he wants and that I want get so caught up in the money that I forget to look to God.
Blessing to you all.

I WILL WORSHIP YOU By Karyn Baker

Lord, teach me how to worship
As the elder do when they worship You
Lord perpare my proud heart so
When I see You in Your majesty

I will fall
On my face
And I will worship you

I will cry
From my heart
"Holy, holy, holy"

I'll exalt
Your great name
To all Heaven and earth

And I will worship You
I will worship You

I want to worship You
I love to worship You
I need to worship You

The first time I hear thissong I know right away that it was by Karyn Baker even before I saw the name. The reason I know that it was by Karyn because of how powerful the words were. I hear this song was on a Sunday night at the Hill. This is one of the most powerful song I have ever hear. This song has so much meaning for me because I have been struggling with worshipping God. I have been really trying to give my worship to God but then I don't alway know when it is worship. I know sometimes that it is coming from my heart. The part that just hits me is when it say I wlll fall on my face. All of those words are so powerful. I just love this song so much. This song makes me cry everytime I here it because I want to worship God with everything I have but sometimes I don't have enough to give to him or to offer him. So my worship is all I can give to him. As long as it is from my hear. Then that is what God wants from me. What a great song this is. I have heard many of Karyn songs but out of all the song I have heard this is the one song that is in my heart.
What a great Gift that is from God to be able to write such powerfuls words like that. God has gifted Karyn so greatfully to be an awsome song writer. What a great gift it is to be able to worship GOD in this way.
Blessing to you all
