Brantley Jacob's Journey Continues

I had written about Brantley and his journey not long after he was born but that was over a year ago and he has grown and is strong and trying to be a typical one year old despite his leg.  If you have not read his story you can read about it in my post The Journey of Brantley Jacobs.  You can also read about him on his facebook page "Prayers Brantley Jacobs".  He is going to have his leg amputated in the very near future and he and his family need many, many prayers.  There are also so much extra expenses.  There are some fund raisers going on at this time which you can find on his prayer page plus I will share a link where you can donate money.

I know many of you that read my blog are prayer warriors and I know this family appreciates all the prayers for them and Brantley.

Psalm 54:2

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth.

Psalm 102:1

New King James Version (NKJV)

Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And let my cry come to You.

Where were you on September 11, 2001?

On September 11, 2001 I was at work in the bank I worked for at that time working as a funds transfer person.  I and two other people were in an area that was secure and only those with a card could get in.  I didn't even know what had happened until I left that area and heard from others what was happening. It was with much horror I heard that airplanes were being used as weapons and crashed into buildings.  Many innocent lives were taken that day.  It was a day of much horror, sorrow and disbelief.  Among the terror and fear there were many people that became a hero.  They tried to not leave anybody behind.  America woke up that morning normal and went to bed wounded and bleeding.  The scars are still there today.  It is a day that I will never forget!  It was an attack on my country.

Satin is like that.  He uses things and circumstances to try to change us.  He wants to horrify us and put fear into out hearts and minds.  Satin is always on attack!  He wants us to stay wounded and bleeding but just as the United States recovered and have plans in place to try to prevent more attacks on our land Christians have a guide and comfort.  It is God.  NO matter what satin throws our way he is there! He is the way, the truth and the light!
He is my Hero!

Who is your hero?

John 14:6

New King James Version (NKJV)

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Psalm 121:1-2

New King James Version (NKJV)

God the Help of Those Who Seek Him

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

What is inside your food and your heart?

                                                 


The other day I saw on the news that a young boy had eaten a doughnut and ended up in the hospital.  There apparently were things in the doughnut that should not be.  I have also heard this about cookies bought from a major fast food place.  It does seem like there are many stories out there about people finding things inside their food that should not be there.  Some of the things in food that I have heard about or have seen on the news are metal, glass, worms and many other things.  I do love doughnuts and cookies but the next time I take a bite I might be a little more careful and look before I eat.


 There are apparently things in my heart that should not be there.  They are there because I forget to look at what I am consuming in my everyday life.  I have let emotions, circumstances and people affect me and end up with metal, glass and worms in the middle of my heart.  I have to be careful and look to Jesus before I digest the daily grind of life.  Sometimes something that looks as normal as a doughnut could cause my heart to be full of the wrong things.  I have to give the doughnuts of life to Him daily.

What is in the middle of your heart?

                                   

Psalm 51:10

New King James Version (NKJV)

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
