Founder’s Thoughts

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me.
Jeremiah 29:11-13

God is ready to do action in our life. But we also have to be ready aswell. Jeremiah gives us some great points to reflect on so we can be part of the plan. Here are the action steps :

Our Action …………………….. Gods Action

“When you pray” …………………… “He will Listen”

“Seek God” ……………………………. “You will find God”

Just remember God’s plan for you is “Good” not “Bad”. So if things get a little crazy in your life go to God to put back the order you may need. These might be simple steps but they will probly be the most important steps in your life. So go in faith and see the plan God has for you in your attitude of life, marriage,family,work,church, and spirit.

Step foward with God and there will always be an option towards your challenges.

Here are some pics from a great Church that came to help out the Mission on May 9, 09. The name of the Church is Oso Creek Fellowship. They were here for a four hrs cleaning rooms and making the rooms look nice. I want to thank God and Oso Creek for suppling the need of our Mission. We also had a study group from the same church drop off household goods and clothing. This will be a big help to our Mission.
Job well done.

Sometimes poems makes us think. I hope this poem that someone wrote from our Mission will inspire you to to look at life from a diffrent prespective.

Dear Lord,
Change not Thy will in my life,
Or trial and sorrows to be;
Renew my faith and make me strong,
Change not Thy will, Change me.

Though teardrops fall when trouble comes,
Like the storms on a rolling sea;
Let Thy beacon guide my ship to port,
Change not the storm, Change Me.
When Thy Holy Word I do not understand
And Thy glory I cannot see;
Teach my eyes; give me sight and wisdom,
Change not Thy Word, Change Me.
If the fruit Thou hast given me to eat,
Taste bitter and sour, I plead;
Let not my will but Thine Be Done,

Change not the fruit, Change Me.

If sometimes I murmur and grumble,
Dear Lord, about the cross I carry for Thee;
Keep it firm on my shoulders, but hold my hand,

Change not The Cross, Change Me.

If you change Thy ways to please me,
Dear Lord, I would soon grow cold and turn from Thee;
That You may hear my prayers,

Dear Lord, Change not Thy ways, Change Me.

There is a valley that I must cross,
Someday Thy Face to see;
Lest I forget what power is Thine,

Change not the valley, Change Me.

Have a great day. Remember to keep your memories of you Mother. She might of been the best person in your life or she might of shown you things that you would not have ever seen with anyone else. But just remember without her you would not be here today.

Today is “National Day of Prayer” through out our Country. Here are some thoughts that we might think about as we pray.
Let’s Pray for Common-Unity. That means pray for us to keep this unity in Christ. Pray that we we stay unified with our marriage,family,workplace,church,and our community. That our common varible is Christ in everything we do. Mostly pray for yourself to have the common varible of Christ in you.
Pray for Restoration. Let God restore what selfishness has destroyed. We know what that is and as we restore let God through you restore others as well. Be with God and let this day and other days to come be a blessing to you and others to whom you come in contact with.

I hope that my thoughts will encourage you and uplift you to see how God has blessed your life even through your struggles that you may be going through.Here is a thought that I had regading the blessing I have in my life and how I take advantage of them at times.

Do you ever wonder?
Do you ever wonder if the Lord hears your prayers? I know he knows my heart but I still wonder. I look and admire at the beauty he makes everyday. I give thanks for the gifts he has given me even though I do not deserve them at times. I give thanks for the gifts of my children. Everyday they want our attention just like the Lord wants our attention everyday. I say to myself what great kids I have. They are beautiful full of life and very smart. Why do I ask more from God, when he has given me the perfect package in my kids. They want to be with their Dad but I just want them to be around me when I want it. How selfish. I see them sleeping and I see the peace in their faces. God I ask in my prayer for you to take care of them. And you give them a grandmother and grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins that love them and take care of them and play with them. You provide different things for them to do. I just don’t take the time to do it with them. Then I wonder if you ever hear my prayers? You have provided me with a beautiful wife and yet I do not give her the attention she deserves. She is smart, loves sports, cooks well, works hard, cares about her body, spends time with her kids, try’s to take care of me, and finds time to share her time with the Lord. She loves music and I love to hear her play the piano and Guitar. Would you want any different person as a Wife? And my prayer is that God helps me understand my wife. What is there to understand? It’s all there just spend time with her. Once again I wonder does God hear my prayers? How blind I am at times. God provides a truck, a van, nice house, a great Dog, great friends, good support team, great church family, food, a healthy environment to live in, family is there in a press of a button. Then I pray for God to provide the means for my family to live with. How blind am I? Once again does God hear my Prayers? God has does his part of the work in our family I think its time for me to do my part.
Thank you God for answering the prayer.
