Are you serving jesus with zeal? It's not as hard to do as I believe the devil would want us to believe Revelation 3:15 "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot."...................

Udate 10/22/2023 (still battling "Extreme asthma" but not giving up trying to put it into remission).................the latest scarf I knitted................

(painting I did today.........from nother photo my husband took last time we went to the zoo, lion licking his paw chillaxin...............I like this painting so I'm countin it a success : )

Are you serving jesus with zeal? It's not as hard to do as I believe the devil would want us to believe. Deny yourselves take up your crosses and follow jesus DAILY! Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up hiscross daily, and follow me."

 I've noted in revelation 3:15 that it says "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot"

are you cold today or lukewarm

or stoked up with my zeal to deny yourself and take up your cross and follow jesus DAILY
Revelation 3:15-16 "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth."

  I believe absolutely that god is about to one day spew, the lukewarm out of his mouth.......................PEOPLE PROFESSING TO BE CHRISTIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." I have at times became not just weary, exceedingly weary in "well doing". It seems often that the more I try to do good, the more I've been hated! 2 Corinthians 12:15 "And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved."

  I do not believe I have "reaped" yet. Worse I am not sure what even "reaping" from "well doing" I'm even supposed to even "reap"??????????????

  The bible says I will indeed reap  Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Haven't yet, but the bible says I will. 

  The focus for me today more is..............................

stay zealous

stay on fire for jesus

Deny myself take up my cross follow jesus daily

don't be lukewarm (maybe few good deeds here and there, maybe give to a charity on friday or something) 

BE ON FIRE TO LAY DOWN MY LIFE! TO FOLLOW JESUS Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up hiscross daily, and follow me." LOVE THE WORD, JESUS, GOD WILL ALL MY MIND STRENGTH SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 How I go about a day MATTERS..............................(I think the small things we do do in a day the devil tries and tell us that "ah that don't matter" IT DOES MATTER.................love someone today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO GOOD TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!! AND TOMMOROW AND THE NEXT DAY ETC. IT DOES MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)  

  I need for everyday here on out to not have days where I sit and do nothing.......god surely wants us to be a zealous on fire peculiar people zealous of good works....................Titus 2:14 "Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."

It is a good to lay down our lives to serve one another...........Galatians 4:18 "But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you."

Ms. Bragg's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose....................

Off to the races..........1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all........."............

Update 6/29/2023 a tire went flat - very hot out, a guy stopped and help my husband change the tire. (to the spare tire) 

husband putting air into the "donut" tire cause it needed air. Scary driving on donut with not much air in it to the gas station - we survived. 

me at said gas station taking a cute selfie

1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." I am not 100% that even everyone out there knows that we are in a race............1 Corinthians 9:24 "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all.........................."

  All run in a race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I recogn it is very important who you are running to..........

Are you running to the world to be friends with the world???????

James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."

Are you chasing after the money?????????? Loving some $$$$$$$$$?????

1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

Or are you.........................

Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

   aka........"So run, that ye may obtain"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone's week is going well. (I had a good time at church this weekend, the apostolic christian church of america of portland they do this verse for me........Ephesians 3:17 "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love," --------------- if I didn't go to a church, if I did not belong to no church nowhere.............I do believe I'd likely have a bloated ego, I probably would then think more highly of myself then I should Romans 12:3 "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." Lately I'm I'd say pretty thouroughly "rooted and grounded in love" I'm very thankful for that. And if anyone out there doesn't have a church at the moment that you regularly attend I recommend finding a church be "rooted and grounded in love" 

LOVE

Matthew 25:35-40 "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

More food for you Jesus 😁💓💓💓💓💓💓💓................
