Not by might

I really like the way this photo turned out cos it was a blue sky but the blue sky looks kinda dark cos of the sun, God is always there even in our darkest of nights, when the wind is blowing strong and the lies of the enemy keep coming yet you can hear Jesus speak Peace Be Still :). 

I was outside today and it was windy and chilly still, and I had left my bible on our table and went walking with my iPod, and left it on the Matthew chapter then when I came back with the wind it blew, it was on Zechariah chapter 2, the chapter came out at me so beautifully, 

The above photo came out side ways but at the top it says The Abundance of God's Spirit :) 

It's okay, no matter where you may be, He's got everything already worked out, just keep walking out on the water in faith to Jesus, believing that He is and He can. 

I'm gonna keep walking out on the water by faith to Him, He's always in that storm or even if you're not in a storm Jesus is always with you, and cares for you. 

Trust in Him, He has beauty in store :) 

Keep going forward, it's okay to hold His hand even when you're afraid, He knows your name He always understands even when we don't :) 

God has been right there 

Even when I felt so defenseless 

Like that woman who was sick for 12 years but reached out to touch the hem of His garment and He said who touched Me? He saw her faith, and she was healed. 

Learning to trust Him is beautiful, it's not always easy going through the storms and vallies but there is victory on the other side keep going :) you'll see later on the beauty He had behind it all, and the testimony you can give :) 

Nice chilly evening

Getting pics of the sunset this evening and with my Bible, I was trying to get a pic of my Bible against the sunset which was hard kinda, holding my Bible then holding my IPod in the other hand, here's a pic where I took a crazy pic of the ground lol while trying to hold them :)

Even in all life's crazyness God still brings joy somehow :) I'm learning that and learning to trust in Him , I love always being out in the wind it's amazing, to me it's like feeling Him there in the wind each time knowing God is there, He creates everything beautiful and good :). 

Tonight was church night and we were watching brother Jimmy Swaggart on tv, he was talking on prayer and in Matthew chapter 6:9-13, and about Jesus when He was in the wilderness 40 days and nights yet He did not sin! And also about John the Baptist preparing the way of The Lord, and repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Jesus is coming back again, the Rapture will take place, if your heart is not right with God please make it right, hell is real but Heaven is real too, choose Jesus! John 3:16, remember that verse and Romans 10:9, He loves you so much God paid a High Price by sending His One and Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, always love and forgive others that you need to forgive. Tell others about Jesus, time is really short, no man knows the hour like the Bible says, but get ready for Him our King :). God loves you and has a great plan for your life! 

It's amazing too cos last night I was reading in Hebrews chapter 1, and it was about angels and Heaven :) and God creating the Earth :), our God is always beautiful, so come to Jesus He loves you, it doesn't matter what you're in or what you've done, He can forgive you of your sins, the wages of sin is death but Jesus died for you to take away your sins and even if you are saved and failed or sinned, it's okay come to Jesus He is faithful and just to forgive you your sins. 

Brother Jimmy Swaggarts tv channel is on 344 on directtv, and you can watch them online too on their website http://www.jsm.org/

They're channel on tv and website is always on 24/7 :) 

I love the way God speaks to us

I love how God speaks to us through His Word everyday, His Promises are true and we can trust in Him.

Opening my Bible today, and seeing that it was in 2nd Chronicles 6 and chapter 7, and remembering that I've read there before, I love how He speaks to us and teaches us in His Word, and I remember some things He spoke to me before when I read that chapter or some verses :). 

This journey with Jesus is so beautiful, and He's always with us through the vallies and storms, even when we can't see in them the beauty He has , He already does see the beauty, 

God's Creation is wonderful too and He speaks to us so beautifully with His Creation to His Children :) just like the beautiful sunsets in the evening, stars in the sky at night, the moon, the rain falling down. He's an awesome God :).

God's Word is great and beautiful. I know sometimes the seasons in life we go through may not always seem beautiful but remember in Psalm 23 chapter, 

The Lord is always our Strength, we can lean upon His arm, Jesus is there and He's with you always, you can trust in His Word and Promises :). Keep always praying and seeking Him even in those hard times even when it's hard to feel God, I've been there in that place but He's always come, He's never left and God loves you so much, trust in Jesus, He's doing a beautiful work in you and your life, just keep holding onto His Promises :). 

It's beautiful always being with Jesus

 

It's so beautiful always being with Jesus, and spending time with God, you can pray to Him, talk to Him about anything, and He's always there :), and reading His Word, or listen to some Christian music. My favorite artists are Kari Jobe and Chris Tomlin, and I love these singers called Lester & Holly Rector too, they are really good, you might wanna check them out on youtube.

I just love spending time with God it's always so beautiful, although I do have my times too where I don't always spend enough in my days with Him, I am wanting to spend more time with Jesus, I love being with Him, His Presence is so beautiful each time, and even if it doesn't happen right away just wait on Him and He'll come :)

I've got this one Scripture going through me now, He's changing from glory to glory (2nd Corinthians 3:18), we are always being made into His Image. He's never done doing a beautiful work in us, always molding us and shaping us into what He wants us to be, He does have a beautiful plan for you, even in that struggle you're in right now, He has beauty all around it, just keep looking to Him, to the Cross, laying it down at His feet.

 

2nd Corinthians 3:17 (KJV) - Now the Lord is that Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.

A great song to check out also on youtube is "Whisper Jesus" by Grace Larson, I don't know if they have it but try typing it in and check it out :)

I'm just amazed still right now tonight of God's Presence,His Presence is so beautiful and amazing always and just wow, I love being with Him, and I wanna draw closer to Him and more in love with Jesus.

I pray, that you know the Lord as Lord & Savior, if not you can, just believe, God came for you, He sent His One and only Begotten Son to die for you. That's His great unconditional love, just come to Him, ask Him to forgive you of your sins, and repent of your sins, and accept Jesus into your heart and life, (Romans 10:9 KJV - That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.) Jesus died for you on the Cross, He paid the price for your sins, to save you from hell and give you Eternal life, and have this beautiful journey with Him, God has an amazing plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11) my heart is that everyone would know the Lord as Savior and be saved, I pray that you do and that you will, He loves you so much, just like that beautiful song brother Jimmy Swaggart sings, "There's room at the Cross for you."

There's room at the Cross for you, come to Him today, let His Blood wash you white as snow :)

Jeremiah 29:11 "I'm excited to start this journey of blog writing"

Jeremiah 29:11(KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

I'm really excited now to begin this journey of blog writing :) Not sure what the next road will bring but the Lord already knows and He's there, you may not know it but He loves you so much, even where you're at right now, you might feel up, or down but He's there and He does have so much in store, don't let the enemy steal away what the Lord has given you and know He holds you, Jesus holds you even in the night He's there.

If you do need to, you can read in the book of Job and others in the Bible that went through things, even like Peter denying Jesus, he wept bitterly but the Lord forgave him, and He would've forgiven Judas (Iscariot) too, God's love is so beautiful and His love is in the Cross where Jesus died for you, lay all your burdens down at His feet. Trust in His Plan for you, let Him lead the way.

So just know down every road He is there with you and can bring beauty out of that place you're in, even when you can't see it yet :), Joy will come in the morning always remember His love is holding you.

I'm going to continue writing blogs on here and can't wait for more ahead to come, I'm already thinking of cool blog ideas and excited about this journey of blogging ;-), and I know the Lord has good things :)

Why the name Hope in a Tree?

Why the name Hope in a Tree?

From the Bible, God's Word in Job 14:7 (KJV) - For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

I love the book of Job, and all that Job went through and experienced, yet he said "Even though He slay me I will trust Him." :)

I usually remember the Scriptures when they come to me, but I don't remember the exact place of the Bible they're at until usually sometimes later I'll find them, or I believe the Lord will help me to remember them again. I love how God speaks to us in His Word and His Word is so beautiful.

This is my first blog, I'm going to try my best to write on here, things about the journey that I'm on with the Lord, and just things in my life :). I'll post more as I think of more to write and encourage everyone, and know that God loves you, and Jesus came for you, if you haven't give you heart to Jesus, let Him be the Lord & Saviour of your life and know He loves you, (John 3:16). It's amazing the journey the Lord takes you on, even through the storms of life, He has beauty.

Jeremiah 29:11 :)
