"Serving DESPITE Circumstance"

When the Lord first placed the vision for our ministry on our hearts - we had no money, no decent car, no fancy clothes, trials and tribulations GALORE (as we still do!lol) only now we have had even less, yet been Blessed by the Father with even more - not only in His taking care of our EVERY need dispite impossible LOOKING circumstance but through those hardships by Him blessing us with increased faith, compassion and spiritual maturing...As you search YOUR hearts and strive to serve HIM and bring HIM glory - be ready and willing to step out of your comfort zone and tell people of HIS greatness and also help others in HIS name (not only in SPITE of your facing difficulties but actually and ESPECIALLY because of them!). Be willing to GO where HE wants you to; DO what HE desires for your life and BE what HE has called you to be - not what makes you feel safe, or comfortable or happy but what is pleasing to HIM!!! Remember we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us - That with God ALL things REALLY ARE POSSIBLE. Don't listen to your family, friends, naysayers about what you can or can't do when it comes to what The Lord has placed in your heart to do - Even your own self-doubt and insecurites must be put down - remember to "capture EVERY thought"... As far as having nothing and trying to give to or help others in YOUR time of need - we have NEVER been so Blessed (in many ways) than we have when we have put others first and most of all SERVING GOD first, despite our calamaties (and there have been MANY)! So - we encourage you to STEP out of your comfort zone, THINK out of the box and PRAY!!! for His guidance and His will and then, procrastinate NOT ('cause I was BIG on that one, let me tell you!lol) and go DO IT - Just SERVE HIM!!! In MARK 12: 30-31 JESUS SAYS: The most important commandment is this: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as YOURSELF.' "There is no commandment greater than these."!!!

LORD, I ask that you help me in my walk on the path that YOU choose for me. I pray for Your guidance, Your will, and Your help and protection in EVERY WAY! Please give me boldness merged with peace beyond understanding as I reach out to this world in the ways You've asked - to SERVE YOU, to BRING YOU GLORY and TO HELP THE HURTING AND LOST IN YOUR NAME! Please be with me every step of the way as I step out in FAITH - please help me to THINK the way YOU want me to, to DO things when YOU want me to and in the WAY YOU want me to! I DO love you Lord and want DESPERATELY to SERVE YOU with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul and with all my strength - in times when you've Blessed me and in particular in times when circumstances (in the natural) are seemingly impossible! Help me to be your hands and feet because with YOU, Lord, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE and I am SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!!!
