Day 68 - It's a good morning!

Day 68 - Praise God! Prayer night was amazing last night. God really showed up through live worship and prayer. It's a great mid week kick in the butt to motivate us for the rest of the week. We don't go there for the purpose of fellowship even though we get that there. We go to be filled with the Holy Spirit so when we leave than the rest of the week we are filled with God's love and share it with the world. Amen?

Ever have those mornings when you just don't want to get out of bed? You just know it's gonna be a tough day? You just feel like nothing good is going to happen? I do. But then I pray. And God listens. And he tells me to get out of bed, take a shower and KEEP MOVING FORWARD. He tells me not to be anxious for their is nothing I can do about it. There is nothing I can do on my own but through HIM I can do anything. And after prayer and worship in the car and totally trusting God with my plans, his will for me, I get to work knowing that things will be fine. Amen?

I am blessed today to have my daughter at work with me because she has off from school. She came to me late last night with a problem her friend from school told her about. Mya came out to me and told me what was going on. She believes that God is sending these girls to her with their problems because she knows that answers to all the problems and can share those answers. Every question has the same answer! JESUS is the answer. She will talk with this girl and give her Jesus. Maybe this is the start of her bible study at school? Maybe this is the Holy Spirit working though her. Whatever the reason, she is shining the light of God reflecting from her body and speaking the word of Jesus from her mouth. She is sent, and she said she would go and she is running....not walking! It's amazing to watch and witness and be a part of her life in this way to help lead her to the right decisions.

Mya is 14 years old and can still come to her lame old dad for anything and it's awesome. She tells me 3 times a day she loves me and she's always honest with me even if she did something wrong and knows I wouldn't find out about it. She is never afraid to kiss or hug me in public and always tells her friends that she's excited when I have to drive them somewhere because I'm the cool dad who makes riding in the car alot of fun! So I must be doing something right! AMEN?

I want to share with you a letter my daughter wrote to me close to a year ago. I used to keep it in my pocket but now I have it on my wall:

Now, wouldn't the world be a better place if all of our youth were like this? How do we make that happen? By loving them, being there, leading them, teaching them and most importantly giving them Jesus! AMEN?
