Disciple"I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. "I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. "My past is redeemed; my present makes sense; my future is secure." "I'm finished and done with low living, smooth knees, mundane talking, cheap living." "I no longer need prosperity, position, promotions, or popularity." "I no longer have to be right, first, recognized, praised or rewarded." "I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power." "My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear." "I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed." "I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ." "I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, and preach till all know." "When He comes for His own my banner will be clear."
"Heroes can give their lives all at one time, or they can give a little each day." -Deena Burnett"Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things...I am tempted to think...there are no little things."- Ralph Waldo Emerson" We do not remember days, we remember moments"- Cesare ParesoGod is looking for men and women who will be fair, just and compassionate. He is looking for people who dont get tired of helping others, are not selfish, and dont live to make a good impression on others. He wants you to be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Hes looking for men and women who dont think only about their own affairs, but look also to the interest of others and what they are doing." –Robert CresonView All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream,
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
One belonged to him,
and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it.
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you."
Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
