It’s July!

Happy first day of July friends!!
My weekend was amazing.. blessed.. and humbling in various ways..
The conference was great.. I met some awesome ladies and young girls..
We discussed restoration and how the Lord is our ultimate Redeemer & Restorer..
Thanks God!

There’s absolutely no one like Him.. He searches for the broken and jaded, waiting to abide in them.. in turn, restoring them completely. Thanks for saying a word for me when I needed it most!  I definitely felt your prayers.  I had a few awkward moments, but of course, I think I am a magnet to them.. haha.. they just cling to me.. who knows.. I don’t know what life would be without them

I’m under the weather.. I’ve been this way since Sunday.. I think I caught something nasty.. so I’ve been drinking loads of hot tea and blending various fruits & greens smoothies this week to make sure I’m getting enough liquids, vitamins, and antioxidants. It’s difficult when I wake up in the morning.. that’s when my throat feels like a Brillo pad.. so uncomfortable and scratchy. Please pray for a quicker recovery!

This morning I heard a sermon by Matt Chandler and I LOVED what he said:

“Most of what is killing our Spiritual love for Jesus Christ is not morally sinful, but morally neutral.. we have given something that is not wicked or sinful an undue amount of position in our life and it’s robbing us of our affection for Jesus Christ. We’ve made good things “ultimate things”, robbing us of a desire & passion to follow Jesus.”

Thanks Pastor Matt!  Someone had to say it.  Seriously.  The level of neutrality and mediocrity within the Church is absolutely disgusting.  Compromising has hit a whole new level.  Most of the compromising isn’t occuring in black & white situations.. much of it is in gray areas.  The areas where we don’t necessarily see a “clear response” to things in the Word.. and the only thing I have to say to that is this.. get into the Word, it’ll transform your life, in turn, it’ll change your outlook on life and the way you live life.  I know the Cross is black & white.. the Gospel is black & white.. the love of the Lord is black & white.. that’s all I need to keep me from avoiding gray areas.
