Thanksgiving: Day 19
I'm thankful again to have a roof over my head especially when it's stormy (windy and rainy) outside! I'm mindful of the fact that others aren't as fortunate to have a home and my heart and prayers goes out to them this Thanksgiving. I pray that the opportunity to permanently find a path off the streets will come to them soon!

Whatever you do and whoever you vote for - remember to pray for our country, leaders, etc. May God be honored in our lives and in our government!

Thanksgiving: Day One and Two
I saw this quote from Harry Ironside recently about Thanksgiving:
“We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.” ~Harry Ironside
We have much to be thankful for if we simple stop and consider how blessed we truly are!
Unfortunately, in this day and age we are trained to be less content and less thankful than any other generation. This is especially true with the constant releases of new technology that we just have to have or else our lives will be terrible or something. I'm sure you can think of many other issues, items, situations, etc where maybe you or someone else isn't very thankful for what they have or been blessed with....let's strive to be different!
Let's be people where thankfulness is natural response no matter the circumstance.
This is tough sometimes but not impossible - especially as we are not alone in the day-to-day battles. We have God's Spirit, His Word, and other believers to help prop us up, strengthen us, and remind us of how we should be living!
Every November I try to share in one form or another what I'm thankful for. I'm going to strive to do that here on my blog for the entire month.
Meant to start posting yesterday but wasn't able to post.
Let me encourage and challenge you to take the time to do the same either here or through e-Mail, Social Media, or tell someone what you're thankful for! Do this the remainder of the month!
So here are the things I'm thankful for from yesterday and today:
Day One: I'm thankful for my family and friends.
Day Two: I'm thankful to have employment especially during these tough economic times.
What are you thankful for?
Please go share with others - as you have much to be thankful for!

Week of Prayer! Seven West
If you're in the Portland Metro area please see the following information regarding a time of prayer and fasting that is going on this week. This is something I'd meant to post last Sunday.
Even if you don't live in the Portland Metro area let me encourage you to pray as well this week!
Let's seek The Lord together for revival in our communities, our country and even in our own hearts!
May His Spirit work and move mightily in and through us!
God is able!
Blessings in Christ,

Remember
Where were you on that day? I remember being woken up by a early morning call from my mom urging me to turn on the TV as something was happening in NY City.
The events of the day unfolded and I remember being in shock at what took place. It was almost surreal...how could this have happened?!
I remember how some politicized it blaming this or that person and sadly people were also asking "Why did God allow this to happen!?"
Even today, 11 years later people are asking and as the media replays the tragic events of the day - I still stand convinced that God is still good no matter what people say.
There are a lot of people still placing blame and conspiracy theorists adding to the list of "who" was responsible.
For me I simply choose to pray for those impacted by what happened on 09/11/2001 and I urge you to stand with me in prayer for continued healing and for good, even this many years later, to come from this!
God is good and He's still on His throne and He's there for you!
If you're struggling today with the events of that day or even the events of today in your life, reach out to The Lord and those close to you as you're not meant to do it alone.
Let us never forget those 3,000 people who lost their lives on that day and may be never grow complacent in showing appreciation with our words and actions to those in our family, as well as our friends, church family and those who God has planted around us.
I received the following today and on this day of remembrance thought it was fitting to share something to add a little calmness to your day.
Check out this simple and beautiful time lapse of the Pacific Northwest coupled with music by Ryan Farish when you have a moment: http://www.wimp.com/pacificnorthwest/
It reminded me to take a deep breath today and rest in the beauty of His creation which shows His finger prints - His reminders to us that He is there!
