Have a "Conversation" with God today!

When you pray, remember it's a conversation, not a just a petition.
1st half: You talk- God listens;
2nd half: God speaks; you listen.
Why is it that we do so well with sharing our needs with God, then leaving the place of prayer before God shares His thoughts with us?
STAY in the place of prayer long enough to hear from God, it will make all the difference in your life and others.
This will make your day every day... be refreshed.

"Be the Leader God has called you to be."

Some people are drifting in life as though the anchor of their faith had been cut loose. Broken relationships, respect issues present and splintered family?This is not how God wants you to live, under the circumstances, instead of rising above them.  Now's the time to stand up and "BE" the Christian leader God has called you to be for the "Whole Family!" His touch can make you Whole, your leadership under Him can make your family whole again. Stand up, and stand out! That's the view from where I stand. have a refreshing day.

I am feeling poetical today..."Brokenness" a poem by David Rails

“Brokenness”, by David D. Rails 1979

[ A poem of God's love and compassion]

My life in all it's pieces lay shattered on the floor,

with tear filled eyes I softy prayed, come take it I implore.

He picked up all the pieces with gentleness and care,

He said that He was with me in answer to my prayer.

He told me He could heal me and restore my life again,

the process would take more breaking, and cause me still more pain.

He broke up all the pieces into powder on that day,

adding "His tears" with every breaking, remaking me as clay.

He sat down at the potter's wheel, a new vessel He would make,

with every turn, He molded me, not a memory did He take.

With tender hands He shaped me,

a new vessel for His filling,

He told me of His plans for me,

if only I was willing.

He gently placed me in the fire to refine me and to strengthen,

the process He'd begun in me, now coming to completion.

My life now has a purpose, I feel I'm born anew,

this same God is still creating LIFE, and He'll do the same for you!
