Ezekiel 39-40

WHAT YOU NEED. WHAT WE ALL NEED.

Everyday, I feel like we're searching for something more. More money, more power, more love, more friendship... more of a reason to be thankful. More STUFF that we can grasp in the palm of our hands, or keep us temporarily satisfied.

And I'm going to make today's devotion short, because it's all about someone who can fill all the wants in the world. A God who can keep our hearts filled, and give us that feeling of complete bliss. If you've never experienced it-- then I'm going to sound like a complete idiot.

Which is why I'm encouraging you to get out and figure out all these things God is a part of! I could spend hours trying to explain all the miracles Go had blessed me with, but what does all of that mean to YOU?

Nothing.

So if you want to see what I'm talking about, and feel that thing deep inside of your gut that tells you that everything is going to be okay, and God will provide all of our needs-- you've got to simply make a choice. Get to know Jesus. Get to know what He has to say, and all He can do in your life.

I'm 1,000% sure that there is someone holding me together, and someone who cares for me. Do you think I'd be spending hours every day typing to a virtual blog if I didn't? Do you think I'd get in a fight with my English teacher about religion if there wasn't something that was driving me to do so?

I feel content with myself. I know that there is someone who will always love me, and I've recieved His blessed spirit in my soul. And like I said, there is no way for me to explain that to you unless YOU get out and try it.

Please don't hesitate to comment or email me at carlygaile@yahoo.com, because I want nothing more than to share my joy with others. I'll do whatever it takes to make you feel that, too.

God Bless,

Peace.

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
Acts 20:24

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
