A Gift from my Jesus!

My precious Jesus gave me a gift today. The temperatures out side is 20 above zero!!!!!!! What a beautiful day. He blesses us with gifts we don't deserve. We don't have to do anything to earn His favor. What a wonderful thought to think He loves us for who we are.

Psalms 27:4 "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."

Revial among God's Church

"If revival is being withheld from us it is because some idol remains still enthroned; because we still insist in placing our reliance in human schemes; because we still refuse to face the unchangeable truth that 'It is not by might, but by My Spirit." -Jonathan Goforth-

Psalms 139:23-24
"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Psalm 80:3, 14
"Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved."
"Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;"

John 15:4
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."

First Things First

Luke 1:46a-47
"...My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."

My name is Karen(thats me on the far right!). I am the second oldest of 8 children, a PK, and a home school Graduate. I became a Christian at the age of 9, and I love Christ with all my heart.

I love to sing and have ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy fellowshipping with fellow believers, reading, serving, working at home, and, studying on Interior Decorating.
I am currently working at home, which includes laundry, cooking, cleaning , and working with children.
I work with the younger youth (10-14) at our church, am a Church Librarian, and Sunday school teacher (I have not taught in a while but will be doing it again next month).

The Lord has been teaching me a lot lately. one of the things is Learning about Him. In the past I would read my Bible with the mindset of "What applies to me", "What can I get out of it"? The Lord has been showing me that I need to focus on learning about Him.
When reading an email or letter we don't see what applies to us, but what we can learn about the other person, and getting to know the person. That is how it is with Christ. It is not wrong, to have things apply to you or getting something out of it, but that should not be our main focus.

John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
