As long as you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food on your table and those you love around you, you're blessed.  Be grateful.  Be thankful.

Proverbs 12:25

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Everything you go through grows you.

Psalm 62:8

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

"Father lead me because I can't do this alone."

Romans 3:21-28

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus^.  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Snow Fun!

The recent snow storm isn't what anyone would define as "fun".  But, if there's snow, you might as well make the most of it!  Paul Chastain and some of his friends did just that!! 

There is one thing that God says to every believer, regardless of their circumstances - TRUST ME.

A Great Seaon For Cameron!!!

Congratulations to Cameron Farmer on a great season for Clay County Middle School Basketball!!  We're proud of you!!

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Merry Christmas Cameron!

Beauty And The Beast

Our very own Paul Chastain was among a cast of extremely talented teens in the Clay County High School production of Beauty And The Beast.  The cast, crew and Mr. Donnie Stevens did a wonderful job!!  Also, Peyton Stevens was part of the technical crew. 

If you're hungry you will eat, in the same way if you're really hungry for the word of God, you will open the bible and keep it open. You'll never let it depart from your sight… It’s really important that we stay in the precious word of God. And stay thirsty for more of His word daily.

The Man Behind The Screen

Keep me as the apple of your eye… Psalm 17:8, NIV.
In this day and age, people are considered to be important for so many different reasons—titles, position, possessions, where you go, what you drive. But God’s value system is very different from the value system of the world. God cherishes and values you so much simply because He made you. You are His beloved creation—the apple of His eye; the center of His world!
If you’ve ever thought that God has too many other important things on His plate to be concerned with you and your life, know this today—you are God’s number one priority. And, there’s nothing you can do to be more important or less important to Him. He values you today, and your value will never change. You are significant. Your life is significant. The things that concern you, concern God. He carefully watches over every detail of your life, and there is nothing too big or too small for His attention.
Today, find peace and security in God’s love for you. Don’t be afraid to take your concerns and cares to Him. He loves it when you come to Him, and He’s ready to receive you with open arms because you are the apple of His eye!

“If being noticed, appreciated, and recognized is the motivation behind anything we do, we are headed down the wrong path, subtly stealing glory and seeking praise that belongs to our King alone.”
