reflections on today's message...

What is Your Heart's Desire?


What does God want in my heart? a committed heart with a single minded focus to seek His will. Are you willing to show by your actions, words, enthusiasm, lifestyle, commitment, that you are dedicated to serving the one true God in the way He wants us to?  (First to your own Friends and Family...Second to the world we live in.)


What's important to me: to be comfortable in today's culture or to love and serve my God with my heart, soul and mind?


Psalm 139:23 & 24   Are you ready to truly and honestly say:   Show Me...Teach Me...Lead Me...on You I Wait


I Corinthians 10:23


Satan works in millimeters at a time, dulling our senses, bombarding us, to the point we are unwilling to say no (to anything). Satan can and will confuse our minds until we are unclear as to what our heart's desire is.  Any distraction can make us loose focus and understanding.


Submit to God. Draw Near. Purify Myself. Love with a Pure Heart.  (James 4:7&8, I John 3:3, I Peter 1:22) 


Proverbs 3:5-10  He must influence the small mundane decision everyday to clearly understand what your heart's desire is.


Don't let God become secondary interest in your life!  What is your heart's desire?

song ~ save a place for me

Save a Place for Me
by Matthew West


Don't be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad sometimes
'Cause everyday it's sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again
You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now
I'm dreaming of the day when I'm finally there with you

Chorus:
Save a place for me
Save a place for me
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
Save a place for me
Save some grace for me
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon

I have asked the question why
But I guess the answer's for another time
So instead I'll pray with every tear And be thankful for the time I had you here(chorus) 


And I wanna live my life just like you did
Make the most of my time just like you did
And I wanna make my home up in the sky
Just like you did
Oh, but until I get there
Until I get there
(chorus)

a memory of a time with Tyson...

My mind has been running through memories with Tyson...unfortunately, my photograph collection is only in digital format now because I never seem to print them since converting to that type of format and camera...plus all other photos are either in boxes or packed away for the someday project I plan to get organized.  This is the last one that I can remember right off the top of my head of one of my last times with Tyson, we stayed at the Donohoe's house and this picture was taken before we all split in different cars to head to December Camp.
