My Life Verse

"But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27

A “life verse” is a verse or passage in the Bible that is significant to you. It may define your life, give you inspiration or direction, be something that you hang onto as you face difficult circumstances, or it could even be the passage of scripture that brought you to a belief in Jesus Christ.

This is a verse that is on my wall in my living room. To remind me that with God all things are possible, even the restoration of my marriage and of my life. It was our wedding verse, almost 8 years ago. To share, in brief, 13 yrs ago was when I met my amazing husband, shortly after we got married and 2 months later we were pregnant with our first baby girl. One and half years later we were divorced, we were not walking a life with the Jesus. During this time I accepted Jesus Christ into my life. And my life had changed completely and forever.

 I am sure my parents thought that was impossible as well, but it became possible. I probably gave them the worst time out of all the kids {all 8 of us}.  I even thought this was impossible for me...me becoming a Christian???? I so was not worthy of anything, I had failed big time, I was living an empty life, searching to fill that emptiness in my heart.

 Fast forward to three years later, I accepted Jesus into my heart, it was Easter of 2000.  God had told me to ask my Husband back for a second chance. I thought God are you sure.....did you forget what we had went through, there is no way possible this is impossible??!?  And I distinctly remember talking with a friend a week earlier telling her that if we ever got to back together that, that totally was going to be the Lord because there was no way we would ever. But I think God probably chuckled at that moment and said " for with Me All things are possible my princess."

It was then that I stepped out in faith and scared to death, but trusted fully in God. I did not know what was to come, but God knew and well the rest as they say is Histroy, we are still a work in progress. We have been re-married for almost 8 years this April. It's been a long road, a narrow one, there are days that I ask God are you sure. But He reminds me that this is His perfect plan and will for me."For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jere 29:11. Somedays are hard and some days are just soo amazing. Life isn't perfect, it will never be until we are with the Jesus. God is sooo good!!!

If you are struggling today in your marriage or are divorced or thinking about {don't do it}, just be encouraged and know that ..."for with God all things are possible." Even the things you think are impossible God can make possible. He is the creator of the universe, He knows all things, He sees all things, He is all things. If He can make blind men see and dead man rise, he can restore a marriage, a life as He did mine. He will restore what the locusts have eaten. He can do anything that is in His soverign will. Just pray, seek the Lord on every situation, decision, and everything.

Walking with Jesus, the King of Kings!

  1. I love this and I am also living testimony to how God can heal a broken marriage... I Wish there was more women out there like you to encourage women instead of the negative feedback you get telling you to give up it just won't work out. Even hearing this so often from christians... I am now passionate about inspiring others to never give up on the marriages because like you said with God nothing is impossible!

  2. Amen sister...I know that this is my purpose to encourage woman who are struggling in their marriage to not give up hope. To fight that good fight in marriage. Not meaning to fight with them, but satan wants to destroy our marriages and our lifes. He destroyed my first and I will not, with all that I have in me.

What is the Truth?


What is the truth?
Truth is not a feeling. Truth is not an idea. The truth is found in the Bible.Sincerity and good works do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a person (Heb. 9:22; John 14:6). Sincerity and good works are merely the reliance upon what is in the individual to merit favor with God. Sincerity is a form of pride when it is appealed to as a justification for being accepted by God: "But God, look at my heart. See how sincere I was? I deserve to be in heaven."No. If sincerity and good works were good enough to satisfy God, then He wouldn't have given us the Bible to correct our sincerely wrong ideas, and He wouldn't have sent His Son to do what our good works cannot.Truth is what God says is true.The truth is important not because it is simply true. It is important because truth is what defines who and what we believe in.Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Especially about Jesus.

What me and my Family Believe

What We Believe
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be spiritual! Therefore we remain flexible so the Holy Spirit may direct our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be inspirational! Therefore we give a great place to music in our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be intelligent! Therefore, in our services, we emphasize Bible teaching so God may instruct us how He would be worshipped.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be fruitful! Therefore we look for His love in our lives as the greatest evidence that we are truly worshipping Him.

How To Know God

How to Know God

Realize that you are a sinner. No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one” (Romans 3:10 NLT). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.Repent of your sin.The Bible tells us to “repent and be converted” (Acts 3:19 NKJV). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.Receive Jesus Christ into your life.Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in...” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV).

If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will spend eternity in heaven.

The Bible tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV).

Praise the Lord, if you just asked Jesus in your heart I want you to know that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing for you and so am I. Go to http://www.calvarychapel.com/?show=Churches and click on churches to find the closest church to you and go. Go and tell them that you've just accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart. They will be able to lead you to the next step.

God Bless you Brethren.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! Amen!!!
Your sister in Christ Jesus!!!
