30 Day Giving Challenge

By -
Challenge makes it sound like a contest- and it's not... it's about giving. We're doing it for HIM... to further the kingdom. If you guys want to participate go to this blog and get more information. We are all so blessed and I know that sometimes I get stuck in my own little world... Do you know that some mom's worry about putting clean diapers on their babies? I literally cannot imagine... that's here in America that babies are going all day in dirty diapers. It breaks my heart. I can't imagine worrying about feeding my kids or putting diapers on them. There are lots of ways to give... it doesn't have to be monetary- you could volunteer your time to help an elderly person who doesn't have family to help them or you could even just pick up a piece of trash that blew in your neighbors yard. It doesn't have to be big and the recipient doesn't even have to know about your giving, it's just going out of our own little comfort zone and doing for others instead of ourselves. HE paid the ultimate price- gave the ultimate gift so any sacrifice that we make is really nothing compared to what HE gave. We are saved by his Grace- let's pass on some blessings!

Prayer Request Box

By -
Hi everyone! I know this is an inspirational blog so Casondra wanted to added a prayer request box to the sidebar.  I thought it was a GREAT idea.  Anyone should be able to post on it even if they aren't a friend/follower, or you can request for someone else.  It will probably show up as unknown if they aren't our friend/follower though, which is perfectly OK too.  It's about all of us praying as 'prayer warriors'.  That doesn't mean that we have to automatically have a name or complete specifics to do that. I did want to say that it has a time lapse on it though in order to go through the system.  It may take a few minutes for your request to actually show up in the box, same with replies.  We tested it tonight and I had one that took upwards of 5 minutes.  So don't think it's broken, it's working, just takes patience.  If we start having them take 15 or more minutes and it still doesn't show up AFTER you refresh your browser, let me kno...

What's it all about?

I've mentioned Katie before on my other blog. Actually...she's a follower here at 'Enjoying Life One Cup at a Time'.  I absolutely ADORE her blog (www.imperfectpeople.net)....and today's post was no exception.  I wanted to share it with you guys. (and I hope she doesn't mind) but it was just too powerful NOT to share! God doesn’t work by Karma. Good for good, evil for evil. And I’m thankful because I certainly don’t deserve how good he has been. Everything that happens, good or bad isn’t always just about us. We all search for meaning in life’s circumstances but the real (sometimes hard) truth is... IT’S NOT ABOUT US. God is a lot more important than us .  He loves us no doubt.  But I think he gets a little chuckle watching us trying to make it all about us.  I can’t think of anyone else who was raised from the dead, for whom the calendar changed from BC to AD, or for whom people centuries before his birth (even outside of the bible) predicted hu...

Shattered = The Ability to Shine More Brilliantly

By -
"Shattered glass is full of a thousand different angles, each one able to pick up a ray of light and shoot it off in a thousand directions. That doesn't happen with plain glass, such as a jar. The glass must be broken into many pieces. What's true of shattered glass is true of a broken life. Shattered dreams. A heart full of fissures. Hopes that are splintered. A life in pieces that appears to be ruined. But given time and prayer, such a person's life can shine more brightly than if the brokenness had never happened. When the light of the Lord Jesus falls upon a shattered life, that believer's hopes can be brightened. Only our great God can reach down into what otherwise would be brokeness and produce something beautiful. With him, nothing is wasted. Every broken dream and heart that hurts can be redeemed by his loving, warm touch. Your life may be shattered by sorrow, pain, or sin, but God has in mind a kaleidoscope through which his light can shine more brill...
