check emotions and keep moving

Emotions are raw.

Looking around us, listening to the struggles and acknowledge that there are so many things going on. Seriously. They might not hot our home, but they impact our emotions, change our thinking and even make us stop what we are doing.

There are many topics that run through my mind, and I know we must share that God will meet our needs. He will different days to do it. He will use the trials, pain and struggles to teach us, and I choose to trust Him. What I need to do is encourage those who are following God to stay faithful.

Choose today. Be faithful in your time with God. Be faithful to the people God has put around you. Be faithful with the resources you have been given, be generous and support your church.

Turn around and keep moving. This past week, and really the last month or so, we have heard about failure of pastors, families that are falling apart, many battles sickness like cancer and more. All of them remind us that we need to understand that God knows, He is in control, and I will continue to have faith in God.

As we said yesterday, the struggles are real, and the struggles remind us we really need God. We have a big God. Even when our emotions are raw.

Keep on. Pray. Be generous. Serve often. Encourage your pastor and others.

Job 4:3 NLT

In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NLT

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation. We come to Friday. The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good? Jesus was treated as a criminal. He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him. His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure. That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the Passion of the Christ . Yet it is a good day. It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart. What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me: He is Redemption and Redeemer He too our Pain and Punishment He is our Righteousness and Reality He is the Savior and Life All of those happened from the cross. It was meant for the worst lawbreakers. It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law. It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus. Look
