Monday Morning Perspective and a big Happy Birthday

Pardon me a moment while I gush about my birthday boy. John Michael turns 21 this afternoon!! Those years have flown. They've been full in every way and I wouldn't trade a day for anything!! So proud of him but more than that just plain thankful. He's one of my biggest thrills and enjoyments! A grace gift at it's best! Excited as I see God's hand all over you John Michael!! He has greater adventures ahead than all the great adventures you've already had with Him. Thankful for your impact on my life and how I see you inpacting others. I love you  John-John! Happy 21st Birthday!

Now about Revive. We continued our series in Nehemiah 10. Amazing word from my man on total dedication. In chapter 8 the people showed up. In chapter 10 they stepped up. We saw how obedience to God's Word is essential. Our true belief system comes out in how we behave. 

Fave quotes...

...He's hot. So is hell but you don't want to go there. 

...She believes in God. So do the demons but you don't want to date them. 

...We see ourselves as owners. These people saw themselves as stewards. 

...We say we believe in prayer and witnessing but do we do it?

Monday Morning Perspective

We continued our Revive series as we journey through Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 8 we saw that God comforts the afflicted. In Nehemiah 9 we saw that God afflicts the comfortable. God can use and revive anyone at any age but the question is, are we willing to pay the price and do what it takes? We looked at 2 Chronicles  7:14 and had to ask ourselves if we were willing to do what we are called to do as God's people. I LOVED the clock illustration my husband used to show seasons of life and how we respond and react. 

Our 3 main points were 1) we must be sorrowful over our sin, 2) praise God for His goodness, 3) be serious about being faithful. Each point contained challenging thoughts to consider and take to heart. It's a message worth getting online and listening to but be warned...it's a challenging and powerful word!!
