Open Doors!

"I know your works.  See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you who have little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name." Rev 3:8

God never forgets the works that we do!  I can remember countless hours of standing on my feet ushering, or many miles traveled to support other ministries. I remember numerous Sundays being in the office completing business. So much labor.  I had to grow not to complain about how much our life was consumed by works...in fact I had made that the main thing and obliviously forgot about my relationship with Jesus.  Thank God for his grace!  Through His patience with me coming through his word, I was able to gain the revelation that I needed to refocus!  But even then He still did not forget about my works. 
Because of my diligence and commitment to ministry, he has now allowed me the opportunity to share the gifts that he has given me. It's amazing the doors that have been opened for me. The above scripture was taken from a letter written to the Faithful church.  Jesus' heavenly appraisal of this church gave him joy and pleased him.  This is my desire, to please my heavenly father. What is you main thing?

Catching up!

Hey everyone! My how I've missed my blog page!  I am sorry I haven't put a single post on here in May, but I was taking my last class before graduating and I needed total concentration on the task at hand.  Not that ministry ever stopped as those of you know me and were either at the small group back in May or at Church service on Sunday.  I am still about my Father's business and I have finished class with an A and I an now done with school completely!  How about all this rain!  WOW! It is scary to see so much devastation going on from the weather, my heart and prayers go out to all who have been  affected.  One more sign that let's us know that Jesus will be coming for his church and I don't know about you, but I don't want to be all lip service, but I  want my walk to stand before me when Jesus comes back.  I will post the next Nuggets of Faith small group meeting time and place shortly, but I just wanted to say I'VE MISSED YOU!...

A changed life

I just finished up studying with my husband, who was preparing to teach the Sunday School lesson.  The lesson subject is "Living a changed life".  It was coming out of Romans 6:1-13 and 22,23.  But I wanted to read the chapters leading up to chapter 6, so as I was going throught he chapters, two verses that stood out to me were from Chapter 1: 16-17.  Paul declares "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Just as it is written, "The righteous will live by faith." This scripture spoke to me, we as believers and followers of Christ, should never be ashamed of such a powerful gospel.  This gospel holds the power for us to be saved.  But this is only true to those that have faith in the gospel of grace.  Grace is Gods power to help us to live a righteous life, i...
