Brother,someone sent me this today,it might help you......
Ronald , take that leap of faith!
Php 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
This morning, as we’ve been preparing to set up the new Worthy News site, one of our servers went down! Hackers hit the server with a DoS attack (Denial of Service).
Isn’t it the way it is sometimes? As soon as you make that leap and take on a responsibility that stretches your faith, the enemy comes and tries to find a way to hinder you from going forward with it!
But we have NO intention of allowing him to squelch our plans! We are pressing forward toward the “high calling of God in Christ Jesus!”
Ronald , you don’t let him either! Has God been calling you to do something specific? Has He laid something on your heart to do and you keep being sidetracked with other things? Go do it! Don’t let anything stop you! There is FAR too much work to be done!!
Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

The weather is God's servant.......or rather,His Servants are like the weather!
Sometimes,He uses them to bless the ground,and at other times to flood the earth and wash away whatever there is.
Sometimes,He uses them to shine so that things grow as they
should or at other times to dry up all things,so that there is nothing left!
Sometimes to cool with breeze, at other times to blow everything away.Sometimes blessings,sometimes curses!

If there is one danger in being in ministry it is ministering too much! Often you get so caught up with everyone's problems and the work that God has called you to do, that you forget the most important part of your call and your mandate. Do you really want to know what is the thing that is highest on God's agenda in doing His work? The answer is simple - He wants YOU! He wants to spend time with you and have moments away with you.
Working for the Lord is like getting married to the person that you love. Sure it is important to take care of the home and the kids, but what was the reason you got married? Was it not to just spend time together? To share every moment, both good and bad together? This is what the Lord wants from you also.
He appreciates the work that you do and He is very proud of you. But without that intimate time in His presence. you will become like a well that runs dry. There will always be needs. There will always be things to take care of. But those precious moments in the arms of your loving Savior are special and can never be replaced. Jesus worked hard for the 3 years He ministered on the earth. No matter how many people he healed, there were always more sick.
Time and time again you read of Him saying, "I do as I see the Father do." That means that Jesus spent a lot of time with the Father. He could not get on with His day without it! And so today I want you to get back to the basics of your calling. Amongst the confusion of your responsibility and the things you have to do, do the one thing that will keep you alive - take time to rest in His presence.
Lock yourself away. Run to the secret place. I remember a time in our lives where things were just so busy we did not have a moment to ourselves. Daphne Crause shared something with me that made me laugh. She said that there were so many people in the house and so much going on that she just could not find a quiet place to pray.
So do you know what she did? She locked herself up in the bathroom and paced the floor in prayer until she felt a release in her spirit. She said, the bathroom was so small that she could only take two steps and then turn around and take the two steps back again - but she was determined to get into the presence of God!
So today take some time off with Jesus. Run away with Him. Lock yourself away with Him and charge up. His presence will meet your needs and it will fill you to overflowing.
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."[a]
Thank you,Brother! we have nothing to glory in ourselves except in the works of Christ on the cross.With the help of the Holy Spirit we could allow Christ being formed in us daily, though not seen very clearly but surely.He increases our faith in Him.I too learnt more reading your article on what our faith should be in Him.Unwavering faith is what, we as God's children bought by the precious blood of the Lamb of God, are yearning for daily.May the Lord our God meet all your needs through His riches in Christ daily.
I like your approach to discipleship. As followers of Christ, we must study hos life through the word and do our best to emulate his life. Christ came to show us how to get back in God's grace as His children. I teach, "if Jesus did it, then you do it; if Jesus didn't do it, then don't you do it." Stay blessed and focus on being a blessing.
The verse that has carried me through these 30 years in Christ......
Blessed is the man who listens to Me,watching daily at My doors,waiting at My doorway.
