Faith For Expectation

We all have gone through life

experiences where disappointment

has left a spot in our hearts.

Faith is expecting what we desire

and have not come to pass as of 

yet to do so. 

We may have been waiting many

years and wonder why God these

desires haven't come to pass yet.

We must continue to have the

faith that they will come someday.

I know this for I have had desires

that I am still waiting to happen.

It is easy to just give up. I know I 

have often myself. 

Our faith doesn't have to be strong.

We just have to live with the faith

we do have. Though not easy when

the desire comes to pass we will

have the joy to go with it.

Jesus Christ said faith can be the

size of a mustard seed which isn't

big at all. So don't beat up yourself

if your faith is small. We should be

happy that we have the faith no

matter the size. Amen!

Edify One Another

One important part of our life

purpose is to edify one another.

This means to build each other

up. I hope I do this for you each

time you read this blog.

Our gifts and talents we have is to 

build other people up. It is important

we appreciate others gifts and talents

as well. 

What I love about music is a tune

and words can build us up. The

words are like poetry. Sometimes

we can let the tune be the best

part however the words can be 

powerful. It is so important we

find songs that can give us rest, 

and edify us by building up our

soul. 

Some songs the writer has words 

of despair out of their life experiences.

This is OK since we may have similar

experience too. The importance after

listening to those songs that we find

ones that can lift us up as well. Of 

course we can take songs of despair

and make them positive as well by

looking at hope through it all.

Though edifying others isn't the only

part of our life purpose it is still important.

It is important to find those people who

can edify us and those can edify as well.

They could be those who have gone

through similar life experiences as we

have.

May you have a blessed and have joy

in your heart.  ♥♥♥♥

Our Will and Choice

God gave us a will and a choice

to have a relationship and a

purpose with him.

We can serve and love him

if we choose or not. Our

purpose  may vary if we

do not seve and love him.

This doesn't  change that 

he loves us still.

God's  purpose  is  great

and what we were  created 

if we do serve and love him.

We will have the same talents

and personality if we don't 

serve him. We won't  be as

happy though. 

God doesn't  want  us to be

puppets so the reason of

free choice. Amen!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Going To New Level

We should continue to go to

a higher level of purpose over

time.

Our experience allows us to

do so. This includes making

some mistakes along the way.

God will continue to give 

people that will challenge 

us. In the same way we 

will challenge others.

May your success rub off

of others too. You don't

always have to say a word.

People often can see how

you are.   ♥♥♥♥

Being Independent

Growing  up  where I  have lived was shown

to be independent.  There is some positive 

things about it but can be negative  to.

I am sure people  who live elsewhere where

freedom  and  independence  is not known

wish they could  have  it. The purks are good

but to rely on it can be trouble when circumstances 

are not good.

I was raised to be independent  however it would 

have been  nice to have more limitations. I could 

do almost anything  I wanted although I  told my

parents  where I  was going. I mostly  went the 

same places.  To my best two friends homes

or to the park.

As an adult  I  rely on myself which isn't always 

good. I  read in 1 Corinthians  9 apostle Paul

said he is free however he chooses to act as a

slave for everyone  else. It may not be easy but

I  would like to do the same.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Being Like Minded

On Thursday  morning  went to

the Washington State Capital 

in Olympia. Four  of us from

my church home  group went.

It is a little  over a half hour

drive.

Thursday  was  national day of 

prayer. It happens the third 

Thursday  of May. This was 

why we went  to State capital

to prayer.

It is nice to spend time with

like mindedness even though

you don't  know most of them.

We prayed not only  for the 

nation but for our state as

well. We prayed for the military, 

the youth, education and businesses.

Also media  and Hollywood 

among some of the subjects.

This is what many nations should 

have is a day of prayer. Let those

in many countries  change and

we will have a better place to

live. 

We had a purpose united together. 

Prayer and being like minded may

change things.    ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Learn From Each Other

We can learn so much from

each  other  or from ourselves.

This  can come from  being 

in small  groups or one on

one.

On Wednesday  night the 

home group  I  attend we 

broke up into  pairs except  

the group I  was in because 

we had an odd amount of

people. 

We reading and discussing 

from Matthew 6 versus 19

through 24. When we were 

done the whole group  got

back together. Someone 

from each pairs spoke what

they got out of the versus 

we read and discussed.

It was amazing  to hear 

how each group received 

ideas on the same thing

we were reading. 

As one of the guys who

spoke from his group what

a great exercise this was.

Our life purpose  is not only

unique  how we see things 

are unique. We all come from

different  backgrounds. 

As what was mentioned  being

a good exercise we can learn 

by breaking  down whatever 

it is we read. We may read two

or three chapters at a time 

however wouldn't  be  good

to spend a few extra minutes 

to look at a sentence or two

or a paragraph to find out

more what we think of what 

we just read.

I hope this helps you out. We 

all can get new perceptives

and our lives can change in

some way.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In the Middle Of Purpose

For all of us our purpose  is 

unique for sure. Where we 

do our purpose  is different  

too.

For me I  enjoy my time 

in the market place while

others have the gift of

hospitality so the home

is the better place.

I do enjoy going to others

homes to spend time with

them and friends.

In the place whether in the

market place or the home

is to love and care for others.

They know that they are special 

and not alone. 

We all go through  things where

the comfort from others is very

important. 

May you feel  loved and comforted 

today.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are Good

Let you know that your good.

You may not feel that way at

times and others say the same

to you.

God didn't make a mistake at

all though you may have been

told otherwise.

The world is in a state that

confusion comes a long a

lot of the time. People are

telling you are not who you

are at all.

People will be judged for the

words they say.  This is even

for what we say about ourselves.

We must forgive them and the

same go for us. We say things

bad about ourselves too.

You are a champion and you

have a lot to offer. Live as who

you really are. 

♥♥♥♥

Being Remembered

I would say it is natural that we 

want to be remembered when

we are gone.

This is a good reason  to  do

a journal. We can say what 

has been  positive in our lives

as well as the areas we struggle 

in. It shows the humanity in us.

How we write this journal is up 

to us. We can write paragraphs 

of what the day was  like. We

can list things that make us

happy or sad.

Just like our life purpose is

unique so can our purpose. 

I once sat by someone at church

and they would draw pictures to

remember what the sermon. I 

thought was wonderful and unique 

way to remember.  That person 

was very  good at drawing.

May you have a wonderful week 

and take down how you feel so

those in future generations will

surely  know you.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

What We Say

I have mentioned  before  here in the

United States  we have the freedom 

of speech. 

Although we have the right to speak

our own mind and even protest if

we like as well  sometimes  there

can be consequences as well.

Another thing thing with the freedom

of speech we can't fringe on others 

to speak as  well.  

In my state of Washington they are

looking to pass a vote where people 

may assemble to protest on the

freeway  can be arrested and be 

charged for a felony. 

Online someone mentioned the

freedom  of movement. Actually 

I  never heard those words before 

however in my opinion  freedom 

of movement would apply to others

as well.

My concern would be if traffic is

so bad because of protesting what

if someone  needs to be somewhere

important  or even worse there is

an emergency where they need to

get to the hospital. 

Here in the United States  we have

the opportunity  to  vote on issues 

that are put on the ballot. Many are

put on by people who are signed up

to vote can sign to put the issue on

the ballot. Those we have voted for

in state government  can put them

on the ballot  for  voting as well.

So besides speaking our minds in

free speech voting is another way

to put our thoughts into action.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Indoor Time

Most of April the weather  was nice 

however now in Western Washington 

we are going to have a lot of rain

into early  May.

May has been  one of our better 

months. Over the last several 

years has  been  like summer.

I  hope for the same after these

days of rain.

This means a lot of time indoors 

for sure. Meeting others for coffee

or tea or a meal.  A time to spend

quality  time and see how things 

are going.

Any time can be quality time however 

during the rain it is true to do so.

It will be interesting to  see  what

happens.

Wherever  you  are spend quality time

we someone whether it is indoors out

of the rain or outdoors  when  it is

sunny.   ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Having Hope

The great thing about having a

life purpose  it gives us hope.

God sent his son Jesus  Christ  

into the world  and dead for our

sins that we would have something 

to live for.

We are not here for a short period 

of time and that is it. If so might

as well  party. 

I am here for a purpose.  My mother 

thought that I  would only live for

a few months. She fought that I 

would be around for sometime 

and have a purpose. 

It wasn't  until my senior year of

high school  that I  heard about

Jesus Christ.  I  have had my up

and downs over the years. Things

and desires haven't  all worked out

the way I  like it however I  have

a purpose. 

In my purpose  is to have joy and

encourage  others.  This is the 

reason  I  have this blog. If you

haven't  had hope before you can

have it today.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️
