The Most Powerful Postion on Earth?

Most powerful postion on earth. Wow that is a statement. But that is what was said in this article I was reading about Presidencial runner Hillary Clinton.

"...But this time, she has her sights set on the bigger job. This time, she aspires to the most powerful postion on earth." -Readers Digest

I read that and was taken back by the statement. It really rubbed me the wrong way. Yes some offices are more influencial and powerful than others but. I found myself retaliating so fast it caught me off gaurd. And my thoughts were this.

True power is not from anything that Man can make or any office that we form. It is from Jesus. Given to us from His mighty, Holy, Powerful Being. If we are in Him and doing His will for our lives we all have the opportunity to hold the "most powerful postion on earth" That is a Humble servant of Jesus. One who walks in the truth of his inability to do anything good in and of himself.

If we Humble ourselves, pray without ceasing, be on our face before our awesome God, lift Him up, seek his face, let Him work through us as He sees fit. That is how we get to be in the...

                      "most powerful position on earth!!!"

When we are not our own that is true POWER!

God bless you guys. Let ua be striving to be less and less your own and become more and more Jesus! In Jesus Name!

Till next time. Which may be a while lol.

   So, I'm tired of having that old post up although I like what is says. LOL.  I don't have much to say. Well, I have things to say I juat don't feel like organizing my thoughts right now. LOL again. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. But I have been busy.  In fact I will give you this pontless bit of info, lol. 

   This Summer has been the worst season fo rmy eating anything. I have been so full of things that keep me going that I don't get meals. The one I am almost always sure to get is dinner. most of the time. But not always. I know mot good but that is how its been.

    Ok. I will go on at give you this story too.  I reciently went to North Caralina for a youth congress with thousands of other youth from churchs all acrous north america. Very cool. But, I was the one that was in charge I guess you could say.  Everything was going well. Aside from our van breaking down on the way there and having a 7 hr delay in the middle of nowhere. haaha.  All I can say is I'm glad I know things about cars because it really helped! That story in and of itself is a testimoy to God's hand on ur trip.  But thats not the story I had in mind to tell you.  This one happended on the way home.

    We, were driving a long and we had to go just for a bit on I-81. So, we got on it and drove for an hour.  Then I was like you guys we should have hit 77 N. by now. That's when I relooked at the map. Strike, #1!  I had taken us the wrond way on 81. : ( So we turned around and back tracked our way back to 77 N. Good grief!  Then all we had to do was get to 80/90 in Ohio and take that to 23 N. How hard can that be?  Well, hard enough. We were already 2 hrs behind what we had hoped to be and it was late or early morning however you want to think of it. And Darron, a friend from church was driving and some how. To this day I can't figure How I missed it. Both Darron and I knew what we were looking for. But.  When we still were not seeing toledo. And we knew we should have. I started to try and figure where we were on a map.  For the life of me I couldn't find out where we were in Ohio!!! So I called dad. Bear in mind that it is now 7 am Sunday morning. We have been driving for ever!!! Dad is really good at road names and locations. So, I start reading off signs. And Elkhart was the first on I said. Yep... We were in the middle of Northern Indiana!  Oh the humility that knowledge filled me with!  I felt soooooooo bad! How is the World!? I mean!? How? There weren't words to say anything. I just felt like sinking into a ball, shivling up and dissapearing! But I couldn't. 

   So. At the end of it all. Our 11 hr drive turned into a 19 and a half hr drive! OMW! Rediculous!!! Good Grief!  I still can't believe!  But it was really fun to ride in the van with people tha tyou love to hang out with for that long. At least until I knew what a big Ooops I had done.  Then it wasn't fun.

   Well,. now you know one of my most embarressing moments. Anyone up for a road trip?!  Ha Ha. 

God bless,

  presant pull to Himself.

  feet that run to You!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                       Who to put your Faith in?

     And some of you may have read that I gone right to wondering, Is this  Beth?  Yes, it is and I was talking friend about this subject today and God through the conversation really gave me a thought. 

       "Who is it that I am putting my Fiath in?"

      Well, of course many of those who read what I write and comment would say without a second of hesitation. "GOD" "Who do you think?"  As has been my answer.  But as always how we walk and act in life shows us and others what we "really" believe. Ouch! that isn't eady to admit. But its true!  So, Yes I do believe that God is the one in whom I put my faith.

     But, God showed me today why I was having such trouble having faith in a certain area.  It had to do with the old sinful man, with those dredful habits that kill you and rip apart your life. Why was I not as peacful about the power of God to mortify and conquer them. Now I was thinking about people other than myself. Which in turn was giving me the feeling of no control.  Right, we have all been there.  You see how someones problem is causing you trouble or you family trouble or whatever and you need to see God work!

      I want to believe that God can change us!  I know this is true!  But I was struggling because I was placing my faith in The person to change.  I know God can change them but my thoughts were something like this. "I know god can bring victory to any situation. But I can't get my hopes us because I have seen it not work too many times. Not that God failed but that person, I can't trust that they will change. I don't have faith that its going to get any better. I know what its like and my hopes are no good."  

     I know that must sound auful!  But that is where I was stuck.  Trusting God but not trusting Him at the same time. And the thing is I thought I was trusting God all the way!  That is when God took His finger and pressed it into my forhead bringing me to a complete halt. And said

   "What's this? Look at this over here. Where have you placed you faith? Is that where is belongs?"  "You say I can do it. Who can do it?  I Can.  That means I am doing the awesome work and transformation not them! Rest your weary head in Me! Put you faith in Me and My works! I will hold you up! I will do this work. But I need your faith!"

     That really called me on the carpet!  I was so blessed to have that understanding! I feel that I can be less burdened now because I have my faith in Jesus to work in things!  He is so powerful! 

     I hope that this has encouraged you in your faith! I hope you all grow closer to Jesus as He draws us to Him.  Love you guys!  God bless!

     I pray that you are strengthened as you walk through this life. Satan is a crafty and mighty, evil enemy.  So, I pray that you are walking in Jesus's strength, amd built up on His truth and calling out to Him in His Name! Jesus!  The name that will conquer every thing that Satan will throw at you. 

     I say this 1) because it is the truth Amen!, 2) because it is too often done after we have tried to do too much on our own, and 3) because my family needs your prayers!    Satan is back on our heels.  He has seen that we are growing mighty in the Spirit and it has him scared to death!  Praise God!!!!!  How awesome it is to be that scary to him.  But it also means that Satan is again doing so much to bring us down and shake us up and make us stay where we are and not grow closer and stronger in Jesus. 

    "Oh God give us wisdom and protection and stregth.  We are becoming so tired and weak.  God lift us up!  May we always lift you high!!!  I love you Jesus!  You are the Lord!  Mighty to save!  Strong to deliver! You are my everything!  We need you always!  Praise you Jesus!  Thank you for your ever present help.  I lift you name on high!  Save us Jesus!  I love you Lord!"

      Thank you for praying.  God bless each of you and your families!  Till next time!
