All means... ALL right?

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. - (KJV)

Have you ever been through a time in life where you read this verse and you say does ALL really mean me.. or this... or what about death? I have been through times when I question the ALL in this verse. However time and time again I see it to be worked out as true in the lives of those I love. It is amazing to me to watch friends and family make steps in their lives toward what God has for them and it makes me more thrilled to see them do it in the face of difficult odds or against what "the World" would say they do. Ponder on this verse today and find that thing that God is calling you to and know that even if it might seem illogical to you, if GOD Is the one calling you to it... he will make ALL things work for GOOD!!

The Goodness of Good Friday

Today we are remembering the Good Friday that changed our lives forever. Today is the day that Jesus took all of our sins and up on the cross the placed them and with his blood covered them. I am so grateful that I have been saved by such a wonderful Savior. Today you want to say so much but I am always just struck by the depth of the day and mostly find myself reflecting on a time where we remember the new beginning he gave each one of us on the Cross. Thank you just doesn`t seem to be enough today!! I will follow you and give up my life in return seems about right... when is the last time you told Jesus... ITS ALL YOURS.. you gave it to me do what you will with my life Lord that I might serve you MORE!!

On the Left......

Today in my travels around town I was struck by the "on the left" concept here in the city. Most people that travel in DC or other major cities know if you are on a escalator if you are just riding you should stand on the right because the mover and shakers are coming on the left to get where they are going. Weeks like this when people from all over the nation are coming to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival the "on the left" concept gets lost often times. Today as I saw lots of field trips and big groups trying to get around today I was thinking about how we often live our lives. So often I know I live my life "on the left" it is so important to get to the next location I have to run up the already moving stairs. Do we take the time to stand on the right and see the life that is passing by. Today I was challenged to take my time and step to the right every now and then to see what amazing things God is doing in my life. Have you taken the time to enjoy the stage in life you are in? Are you always looking for the next thing, are you always running on the already moving platform of your life? Take some time today and get on the right and see what you can see!!
