I feel lead to share this and I hope that it is seen as my heart for others. I am not gonna dare say in the process of life I have been perfect or ever will be perfect.
In hard times it is sooo easy to remember the bad things and focus on the hard times that are going on around us that we forget the many lives that have been touched. I always say that God is going to be God no matter if we get in the way of it or not. Sooo many people have been touched by Jesus at New Vision Ministry Center. Yes even in the last few months at our new building which is now the old building. People walked in the building for example when church wasnt happening and you could tell they were brought there with tears in their eyes because Jesus was there.
Over the last several years God has drawn many people to him despise us and what we make of things. I am not talking about the failures of Just one. I am talking about the failure of the church as a whole. I have many opinions on the matter and have seen a lot of behind the scenes things. I just want to Give God the praise for all he has done despite our human nature. Be assured that God makes us all accountable for the things we do, know, say, speak, and act. Despite the obvious there are many things that God has seen and has been disappointed with in ALL of us. But as I look at all the different type of people, and different types of lives, and what God has done it amazes me.
I have personally worked with several people who would have never came inside a Regular church to be honest if I had know it was a Church of God church I prob would have never stepped in the front door and I have been saved all my life since I was six when I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I have seen alot in my 21 years as a christian. People are looking for a church that can feel that they are able to walk into and fit right in. They are looking for a place that dosent scream change or go to hell. I think we as a church as a whole all over the world are afraid to truly open our doors and let anyone in. In a recent service I heard well if someone disagrees with you or causes trouble what u do is compliment them and walk them to the door and then say Go find another church. WOW that blew my mind as I sat and thought about Jesus eating with those tax collectors, street people, and those deemed as "find another church type of people." If we are going to be a church that represents Jesus then lets truly represent him and let him change the hearts and minds of people, not rush them out door cause we are afraid of confrontation. Lets remember if Jesus is on our side he gives us the words and things to speak to be able to penetrate even the most unpentratable people.
We also started the online services being broadcast which allowed those sick and those who might not want to come to church visit. There were those who even paid tithe through the online church. Who knows how many lives were touched by the internet broadcast. There was even a man that is deemed unreachable watching some of our services. There were many good things and many good people. I want us to remember that, because lives were changed because of Jesus.
I am tired of Church as the Norm. I am tired of Church politics and how people act. One minute they love you and the next well not so much. Yes my family was hurt in the process and that is what the devil delights in. Not in the sin as much as how humans act when the pressure is on and stress comes. It really tests are true character.
I have been in churches all my life and have seen so many pastors come and go, and have seen alot of things. It amazes me that seemingly the same process continues and we wonder why are churches are falling apart. We have to be careful listen to our heart (which is the holy spirit if it lives in side of us) tell us to do.
My family has been redirected and repositioned to a new direction for a time. Many may question, many will think what they will but I will follow God no matter what any says, thinks, opinionates about me. He is my ultimate Judge:)
We have to start looking at the Good in things rather than all the bad that is going on and happening. As New Vision has came to a close I am proud that I was a part of the many lives that were touched and changed forever through that ministry. I am sad that it is no more. I have to part from the new congregation that has formed because one thing and that is I feel that I am released from there. Not just because of the hurts but because I want to truly be effective on what God has called me and my family to do. My prayers are that the new church moves forward for what God has called them to do and that they listen to his every direction.
I am looking forward the brighter things ahead and what God is going to do through us. Sometimes you realize that if something takes away from the time you spend with God and your family then it needs to get revaluated. If we dont reevaluate then he will do it for us. That is how much he loves us. He initiates the steps we need to take for reevaluation and repositioning.
I am repositioned and reevaluated and ready for greater things to come. I am ready for his presence to consume and over take me. Im ready to share what Jesus has done for me not just because it what a good christian is suppose to do, but because my relationship with Jesus is soooo strong that I want others to know the love that he has for ALL. ALL Every person is valuable, no matter their flawes, there is always hope for someone and If no one else thinks so then I want to find it. Cant wait Cant wait Im ready and Im stepping out of the doors of building to do something more for Jesus:)

Beacon in the Dark!
Have you ever took a step in the dark hoping you wouldn't step on a lego or toy? I do this quite often:)(2 boys who love legos) A sigh of relief fills the air as my foot plants softly on the floor with no harm to my foot, but that soon fades as my foot rises once again to take that next step.
Only if we could totally trust the dark we wouldn't have this problem or if we could trust our kids to put away their toys. This got me to thinking about how we should trust God. No matter where you are in life you may not see right away where your feet will land but know that God will guide you to the right places. Its when we try to guide our own steps when we stumble on the toys or things left lying around.
As a Child of God I want to make sure that my walk is humble and that I can be a reliable and relate able person to others who are in need of help, praying, friend to talk to, etc My trust in God has to shine through so others will see that they too can totally trust him to take care of their needs. If my faith is wavering and I am literally a mess its really hard for others to see that faith works. Not saying life has to be or is perfect but saying we should always watch our actions and how we deal with things because you never know who is watching.
For example say someone has done you wrong and you openly are glad they are having trouble. Or you even secretly delight in their pain or suffering cause they deserved it. Well God see's your reaction and your heart in that dealing. He sees what choices you have before you and that is to spread life or death on your own soul. By taking joy in another suffering actually brings you one step closer or away from the life that you need to be close to the father.
Every decision whether its taking part in a bad joke at work, be negative, or woe is me, or everyone hates me, or by being depressed all the time and not partaking in the JOY of the Lord even when don't feel like it. Not matter what we must always take a step back and see that we are never far way from letting our selves partake in sin. So we must always watch and trust God to lead us and guard our hearts by the making choices that keeps us closer to him and not farther away from him.
I want to be a light in the dark place, I want to walk in the dark so that my light for Jesus will shine brighter than before. If a candle is always in a lite room how effective is it until it hits the dark then its seen from all around. Thats where I want to be!! Let the Lord guide me through the dark so those who live in the dark will see the light and be able to know you because I was a beacon in the dark.

I am a branch in the tree of life, Question is am I a dying one or a living one?
This morning I woke and decided to venture out by my self. I usually hate being alone but today I was all by myself. So I decided to go to Bernheim Forest. I needed to clear my head and to sit in the peace of nature and just relax my mind and soul. I also wanted some time to be able to take some picts a secret passion I have, that has been dormant because of the busyness of life. Here are some of the picts I took today that give u an idea of why I took them and what I see spiritually.
The pict to the right is one I like to call where you lead I will follow. As the path gets out of view and the tree blocks the future I feel God is saying just take one step at a time and I will lead you. Sometimes we tend to forget that we cant control anyone or thing but our selves and actions. So today for me God was saying I will lead so start following.
As I walked around this morning I focused on the nature of God's creation. The beauty and Majesty of the world in which we live. The world that he plays so much a part in creating. We tend to forget the creativity, majesty, and how much he cared about the details that we over them. If he cared about helping a flower by creating pollen so that flowers would still grow despite our circumstances. WOW. How beautiful the creator is!! Yes, my favorite flower is the Dazy. Dazys scream flower children from the 60's and 70's. But I see the simplexity of it. Its white pedals which to me represents the purity of life that God brings and the yellow center symbolizes how alive God is and the vitality that he brings to the earth. He wants us to live with a center that is full of life.
Then I pan out and see the whole picture of dazies together and I cant help but to feel that God created groups of flowers flowing from one plant for a reason. To show strength in numbers, to show how important each flower it to the bush. Some flowers had broken pedals, others were clean and spotless, some were smaller, some were larger, They were all different but grew from one plant base. Wow to the concept of this Type of thinking. When we pan out and see the bigger picture. We see we are not alone. We are among many others and God created us to work together to flow as one in unity with one purpose. To glorify his name and to show others his wonderful works.
This picture screams peace to me. Kentucky peace. This is a place I just want to take my shoes of and enjoy the soft grass and enjoy the sound of the tree swaying back and forth. Awesome and good for the troubled soul. When u find your in a place of unrest and confusion get to a place of silence and he will speak.
This picture is of the statue in the far back which is names "Let there be light" its looks a little weird but it was designed to be a place that Christians can go to have a place of silence and to here God. Wow didnt know that till I was there and read about it and the purpose of bernheim. When I sat at the top and just listened this is what I feel like God wanted to say. "It was me who made the world, it was me who created the very ground you walk on, it was me who formed the clouds, it was me who made the sea, it was me who formed the mountains. I am the one who spoke you into existence. It was me who made all living things to work together to become part of something much bigger, much greater than anyone can ever imagine. IT WAS ME!!!!!!!. I am after you I made I know you. I guide you and I direct you and I can see what you cant see. I know what you dont know. Im am the one who formed you in your mothers womb. It was ME!!!!"
Then I looked out and this is a picture that i took and I feel it was one way to assure me that he sees the bigger picture and its amazing.
God is amazing and everything that he has created is a wondrous site. I can see my self dancing before him in the grass with flags, banners, instruments, and I could go on. Wow what a wonderful savior that would created such a beautiful place just for me and because someone listened to his voice and made this area a holy place, it blessed me this morning.
One more pict. This one was of a tree of course duhhh. but the reason I took this picture is to remind myself the he is vine, he is the main part of the tree and we are his branches. We are to be an Extension of him. We must be able to show others that we are Christ like because we are connected to the main line.
That means in words we speak, things we listen to, and the actions we take when the tough gets going. We are accountable for every word we speak. We like to use this when we are in tough situations to blast our enemy. But if we read closer in the word it states for us NOT to delight when our enemy falls because the lord will have mercy on them. So we must make sure that our hearts are clean from bitterness, anger, unforgivness, and any unclean thing, the hardest things about our selves that we want to push away and hide. If we harbor those things this will make us die, like a branch that is no longer connected to the tree it falls and shrivels and dies because it has been cut off from the life source. Those are the very things that when we need to give to God so we can truly walk in the freedom he has called us to walk in. Not matter our position, calling, or whatever. God has called us to live a life of Christ like behavior and To be accountable for everything we say, think, act, do or criticize. We must make our hearts open to him and let go and let God be the victor and not the devil. Open your heart today and ask God what it is that is hindering your walk, what is getting in your way. You might be surprised and what the answer will be. Open the eyes of my heart that I might see you, lord. Say that today right now. Dont be afraid to show him what is deep inside and he will help you heal, make right, and cleanse the depths of your heart.

Point of View~ Who's are you looking through?
I have pondered, prayed, and listen to what to write in my next blog. For the last several weeks, months, and years I have been in a waiting period which I am still in. I feel like I have been silenced by God for the Restoration time.
Sometimes we can get caught up in doing good, speaking the truth, trying to help situations but in looking at a bigger scale of things we are indeed making them worse. I feel that God will bring to light the truth and we don't even have to do anything. Sometimes things happened to open the eyes of others. You can look at this in many ways. 1 view is too look from the outside looking in. I have heard from many outside parties stating wow Christians have a hard time forgiving and loving each other when it gets tough. Thats 1 reason I have heard from people not wanting to attend churches is because Christians bring an extra added Drama to the scene and many hurts occur in churches.
The apostles didnt follow each other for the very reason they couldnt get along with each other, thus the reason for so many different denominations. We all act on our own feelings and not what is on the heart of God. The real church lies with in each of us. The real church begins in our hearts. When are hearts are aligned with his then the body is in alignment as a whole. When we take our own self serving agendas out of things then we can truly walk in love and in the steps of the father. But that means we have to give total control to his will and to his way.
I have been a Christian since I was 6 at which time I was also filled with the Holy Spirit, so for 22 yrs I have sought after him. There were times I have sinned and screwed up royalty, there were times my pursuit was stronger and then there were times where I just existed. I have seen a lot from a very young age about churches. I have visited many types of denominations and have felt God in many of those different opinionated churches. One thing I have learned is that God exist despite what we do wrong. Things might not go as well but he still has his way.
Lately I have been really sad because its as if a very good thing has died. I am sad because of something that I held dear to me, something I spent almost everyday helping is gone. I look at what is no more and I stand in the spiritual rubble and look out at what is past all the hurts and pain and I see that God is calling us to a higher state of awareness of him. He dosent share his glory with any one. he wants our souls soo bad that he willing to let our fortress crumble to get our attention on him. He is willing to take everything we hold dear away from us so we can see our hearts and we can cleanse the very depths of our souls for the purpose, For a greater purpose. Something bigger is happening, its bigger than me, its bigger than you, its bigger than everyone, God is rising up for a battle that will belong to him, He is tired of all the little things we let get our focus off on him. He is tired of our ranting and ravings and he is saying LOOK TO ME, DOnt you know my Grace is sufficient for you. DOnt you Know MY LOVE for you is greater than your pain and HURTS. DOnt you know that I LOVE YOU. I DIED FOR YOU. NOTHING CAN TAKE THAT AWAY. MY PEOPLE see that I love you and that I will only have you. Nothing is BETTER THAN ME, NOTHING IS BIGGER THAN ME. Come and sit here at my table and dine with me. I love you and I am your Friend, Father, and anything you need.
WOW so with that said no one will take my joy, peace, and love for others. No one will steal what Only God can give me. Make the Temple(church) you and go and follow the steps he has layed out for you.

Are you willing to be a Nathan?
In doing some reading today I came across these passages in my bible. I have the John C Maxwell leadership bible so it has a lot of great little things about leaders in the bible and how to learn from the mistakes or the good things they did.
Anyways I love reading about Kind David. He seems to be a very diverse man and yet he is a man after God own heart. You see his constant bid with wanting to do the right thing and not always succeeding.
You read how God anointed him and chose him and he was the youngest and scroniest of the choices, but God chose him. It shows how God lead him to Kind Saul by playing a harp for him when he was troubles by a distressing Spirit of the Lord(1 Sam 16:7) yes it says a spirit of the Lord. but when he played his harp David was already annointed and God was with him so it soothed King Saul and the spirit would depart.
Then you see the relationship with Jonathan the kings son and David, they were the best of friends but in time they were torn apart due to the Envy and bitterness the King Saul had for David. You see that David would never dishonor King Saul because he was once the Lords anointed. In a sense he waited for the Lord to handle Kind Saul and didn't take his life. That is honor and trust in the Lord to be able to let the Lord take the reigns and handle it. Too often we do the opposite and kill what the Lord has put in place then things tend to get more of a mess than we can ever imagine.
You see several times how David did things that were very displeasing to the Lord but he also sought the Lord, Danced for the Lord, Worship the Lord with all his might.
After the killing of Urian Bathshebas husband the Lord came to Nathan One who was in the King David inner circle to speak the Truth to David. David listened and knew that the Lord was displeased. It says in 2 Sam 12:13 The lord put away Davids sins, but brought consequences to his house. We will always have to pay for the choices we make not matter what they are. One sin is really no different than another except that some hurt worse and affect more people than other sins do.
There is a blirb that says what it takes to survive a major failure:
1 An open and transparent heart
(it's easier to tolerate mistakes admitted than mistakes denied.)
2 A spirit of forgiveness toward followers
(A follower you treat with charity is more prone to forgive you when you are caught failing.)
3 A responsible attitude
(A leader who owns up to his or her behavior will last longer and fare better.)
4 The ability to change
(leaders must demonstrate they are humble and teachable and willing to grow or change.)
5 A hunger to grow and stretch
(followers will stay with a leader in process if he or she is moving in the right direction.)
When Nathan confronted David in 2 Samuel 12:1-15 he was speaking the truth in love. Its what David needed to be able to accept what he had done and to be able to move forward and not look back. Every one needs a person Like Nathan who listens to the Lord and will let you know the hardest things that you need right when you need to heard it.
Pray and hope that we become people who are after God's heart and desire him whole heartedly.
Are we willing to stick up for our friends that we are willing to deliver messages that are hard but are in love. Its a hard calling to be a Nathan, More than likely you will be deemed as a trouble maker, or hated for the moment but when it counts Nathans are the ones who stick like Glue when you need them the most. Hope this encourages some one today. I know that I need this on a daily basis to know that when I fall God Is encouraging me to get back up again.

Questions?
So many questions run through my mind. My mind is complex and is always thinking sorting and trying to figure out solutions. I love to make things right or to try and fix things. Being in the place of holding and silence I have come to realize that there are many different types of people in the world. God has made us all for specific purposes.
Some of us our teachers, preachers, evangelist, homemakers, peacemakers, justice advocates, intercessors,musicians, worshipers, and the list goes on and on.
When we are on the right path there will be temptations, struggles, wrong doing, hurtful accusations, and many trials and tribulations. When we choose to follow Christ a big target has been placed on our back by the devil. We are branded as Jesus Freaks. So we are more likely to face more adversity as Christians because we are now a threat to the darkness.
We must get back up again and we must pick back up the pieces because givening up is giving in to the plans of the enemy. I am speaking spiritually because they are life situations that you have to revert back the Keep and defend what you do have inorder not to loose it.
In my opionion honor is a big deal. Fighting for a cause and being brave despite the monsters and walls that are infront of you. Being not afraid to slay your enemy even you feel like its not your job.
We are all called to be warriors in our faith, To stand strong, But on the whole aromor of Christ and ride in honor for the sake of leading others to Christ. People are valuable and I want to be the one that does everything I can to help them. No matter what they look like, what they are, what they smell like, etc. It makes me mad when we as Christians worship the name of the Lord then go and make fun of others. Yes it may be all in fun, but what does the Lord see? Does he like it when you make fun of the very creation that he Created. When u make fun of the creation you make fun of the creator.
We are all called and all have very different duties. Dont give up thinking what your doing is not working, he has called you so its for a purpose. He needs you to stick like glue so that when it counts your faith never waivers.
Some of us our teachers, preachers, evangelist, homemakers, peacemakers, justice advocates, intercessors,musicians, worshipers, and the list goes on and on.
When we are on the right path there will be temptations, struggles, wrong doing, hurtful accusations, and many trials and tribulations. When we choose to follow Christ a big target has been placed on our back by the devil. We are branded as Jesus Freaks. So we are more likely to face more adversity as Christians because we are now a threat to the darkness.
We must get back up again and we must pick back up the pieces because givening up is giving in to the plans of the enemy. I am speaking spiritually because they are life situations that you have to revert back the Keep and defend what you do have inorder not to loose it.
In my opionion honor is a big deal. Fighting for a cause and being brave despite the monsters and walls that are infront of you. Being not afraid to slay your enemy even you feel like its not your job.
We are all called to be warriors in our faith, To stand strong, But on the whole aromor of Christ and ride in honor for the sake of leading others to Christ. People are valuable and I want to be the one that does everything I can to help them. No matter what they look like, what they are, what they smell like, etc. It makes me mad when we as Christians worship the name of the Lord then go and make fun of others.
