Live Your Life for GOD, Not Man

   My pastor was preaching, either a Sunday or Wednesday, and he said that there are many Christians, who have the potential to do so much for God, but, they don't.  We are always looking around us, comparing our lives with the people. We think to ourselves, "hey, I'm doing pretty good, at least I'm doing better then him or her" and we stop thinking about living our lives for God, and we only think about comparing ourselves with others.  He also said that there are many of us who start getting spiritually ahead of others around us, then we look around us, and then slow down, so that others don't judge you.  How sad is it, that we are afraid to be too spiritual, even in our own churches.  I have always been the type of person that doesn't want to offend anyone, I keep keep quiet, even when I know something someone is saying is wrong, I compare myself with other people, trying to measure up to the worlds standards of beauty.  Well, I am not on this earth to please other people, God did not bless me with this life so that I could spend it comparing myself with other people,  I will live my life for God, not man. Please, join me, and stand up for God, and let your life shine for Jesus, show the world that you are not ashamed to be called Gods child.  We Christians need to start shining Gods light again.

His robes for mine, such anguish none can know. Christ, God's beloved, condemned as though His foe. He, as though I, accursed and left alone; I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost. Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, my life is not my own. My praise - my all, shall be for Christ alone.                                                  "God, I will do whatever You want, if . . . " Be careful of the conditional prayer that we as Christians (especially myself so often) make when feeling led by God to do something. He has already given His all - why do we still question whether or not we want to obey Him fully without reserve?

                         Thank you so much for your prayers and generous donation to my mission trip to Kenya, Africa.   Your prayers, and support  helped greatly.   God blessed, and worked greatly on my trip!  It was so amazing to see how God provided for my trip through all my friends and family.  I had an amazing summer in Kenya!  I spent a week in Wisconsin, training with my team.  Our training consisted of  team building, evangelistic training, and skill group training.  The skill group I was put in was puppets.  I loved being in puppets!  It was so much fun learning to dance and play.   While in Kenya, our ministry was in the slums of Nairobi.   We visited several childrens schools and orphanages.  We performed our puppet show for them, sang, played games, and danced.  We also made them dinner, an ethnic meal called “palau”, made up of rice, meat, and various seasonings.   It was a blessing getting to serve t
