Go after God today.
Allow Him to reveal Himself to you.
Ask God to shower you with righteousness. Hosea 10:12, "...for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you."
Seek His face and not His hands. Psalm 27:8, "My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, Lord, I will seek."
Let Him move in you and around you.
Ask the Holy Spirit to inhabit your very being and stir your soul.
Pray for more of the move of God in your city.
Ask God to bring revival to your neighborhood.
Ask God to bring revival to your home.
Ask God to bring revival to you.
Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
Matthew 7:8, "For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
Make today a new day in your walk and journey with the King of Kings, the Father of all Fathers, the Alpha and Omega, the Lord of Lords, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah-Yahweh, Adonai, Elohim, Jehovah-Shalom, Abba Father, the Bread of Life, the Anointed One, the Ancient of Days, our Creator and our Delivery.
Don't be weighed down by the things and ways of this world.
Set yourself apart from it.
You must SEEK Him and when you do, you WILL FIND Him.
He wants to know you.
He wants you to fall inlove with Him again.
He wants to shelter you with His wings.
He wants to be your EVERYTHING...
Let Him Be...

It's that time of year...kids go back to school, one day its hot and the next is cool, the roads are more crowded because of school, the stress of approaching holidays starts to kick in. With all of the busyness of the approaching season, how will we react or respond to it? Will we get caught up in the craziness and pressure of it all? Or will we choose to stand out in the chaos as the peaceful one, the one that remains calm through it all?
How do we want to be perceived? Remember that we are to be the voice of God, the eyes of God, the hand of God, and perform the works of God here on this earth through the working of the Holy Spirit through us. To be that is to be peaceful, full of joy, gentle, loving and kind, filled with patience, and faithful. If we are to be Christ-like, then we must possess the characteristics of Christ and allow the Spirit to move through us.
Just remember, as things start to get hectic, as schedules start to become more demanding, the roads begin to get more jammed, and the finances have to become more stretched that we can look at this season differently this year than what we may have in the past. We can be a light to a dark situation. There is always a solution in every situation...we just have to turn it over to God to find.
I tend to get caught up sometimes in the chaos of the demands of kids in school, a full time job, an approaching holiday and visiting family, BUT I don't want to. I want to remain calm and seek Him to provide the peace and gentleness that He wants to fill us with.
Let's be challenged this upcoming season and be there for one another, holding one another up in times of need.
There is an excitement to be found in seeking God for these gifts and in knowing that He wants us to be full of these things.
So, be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.
Let others see Christ in You...starting today in the decisions that you make and the reactions that you have to situations.

How far will we go for God? If He told us to go, would we go? If He asked us to move, would we move?
Let's think about how much we would truly do for God.
If we have a hard time answering that question, let's reevaluate our walk with Him.
What would God have to do for us to move when He said, to go when He said go? Is that what it would take? For God to do something? Or are we willing to sacrifice for the Father? The King of all Kings? The Alpha and Omega?
Why is it so hard to walk where the Father wants us to walk after He gave His only Son for us?
Let's think about God calling us today to an uncomfortable place and what our response to Him would be. If we have hesitation, then why? Do we not trust that He will provide? Do we not trust that He will protect?
Think about it....REEVALUATE...and let's change our ways to obey the Father when He speaks to us.
Let's ask God to put us in the uncomfortable places, to stretch us...so we can learn to lean on Him more and trust Him instead of our own ways.
There is so much more for our lives with the Father than what we are allowing to occur...
Allow it to occur
Be tested, tried, stretched beyond the uncomfortable
And allow it to ocur
Whatever it may be
A word for myself...

I am back home in Charlotte and I have reflected many times on what God has done and what He is doing in me over the past few months and especially days. I let the thought of "what am I doing?" go through my mind at least once during the day, and most of the time it's a lot more. Or I wonder, "am I on track?". I can get so caught up in what is happening around me that I worry that I'm not where I need to be with God at that time. I know that I will always have areas to grow in and be strengthened in, but I want to know if where I am at RIGHT now is where I am supposed to be RIGHT now.
Do you ever do that?
Then, just when I start to question things around me, I will hear a voice or experience a situation that shows me that I am where I need to be for now. I think my biggest problem is taking on too many things at the same time and I can get overloaded with the busyness of them all. Are you following me?
I will be doing one thing at work, another with my children, another with ministry, and another with school....and all at the same time...and then wonder, "what does God have for our family? for me and Don? What is it He has mapped out for our personal life?"
I think way too much about STUFF.
A woman at the luncheon this weekend spoke the most beautiful words to me. She was one of those women that had been on this earth for 80 something years, and you knew that she had seen a lot in her years. You knew that she was a woman of God when she walked up to you...you could sense His love and see His eyes as she looked at you. I knew at that moment that she knew what I felt, that she "got me" and that it made sense and that it was okay and it was right. She spoke and instead of hearing a voice from an 80 something year old woman...I heard the voice of God speaking to me....speaking life into my craziness and my wondering.
No, I cannot share what the lady said...mainly because I cannot remember word for word what it was and I do not want to mess it up...just trust me that He knew at that moment what I needed to hear and God used her as a vessel to pour those words through to me.
Let's stop worrying so much about what the day or weeks to come are going to be consumed with...because we can get overwhelmed with it all. Let's just take it moment by moment. God will direct your path. He will tell you when to turn and when to stay straight. We have to wait and look for those voices that He uses sometimes to direct us.
I had a wonderful time this past weekend in Amelia Island but the reality of it all is that I am called to be here in Charlotte for now doing all of the craziness that I am doing. I can't wait to see what and where God calls us to next. Until then, I will remain in prayer and openness to the days ahead.
God bless you as you encounter more of God as you seek more of Him.

Well, we had a wonderful Saturday today. We were blessed to have the opportunity to speak at our first women's luncheon in Amelia Island, FL. God worked out all of the details, helped calm our nerves, and His presence filled that church today. We will post pictures of some of the event in the next few days and share more of what God did, so check back in.
We will be heading back to Charlotte in a few days and getting back into our normal routine of blogging and waiting to see what God has in store for us next.
Keep us in your prayers and know that we are here for any of you...just email us.
God bless you all.

Are you content to be Good?
I know it has been so long since I have written. This thing called Life gets in the way. My hope is to start writing again on a more regular basis. Esp. when the kido's are back in school.
As I sit here this morning in my quiet time, God continues to speak to me about me living my life halfhearted!!! Wow that hurts. My love for him being lukewarm! I am so content in being good! How about you? Are you content with being good? Well guess what girls! We are called to be so much more. We are called to be Godly!!!!
This is me:
I am running this race called life; but I feel like I am running in place! Anybody? I am seeing no eternal value to my efforts. My service is predictable and routine. I am in a familiar habit of serving others through my church, bible study, volunteer work etc. Although well intentional, yet there is still a piece missing. I think I have been so busy spending time pleasing others hoping that God would be pleased as well. So what's missing? There is a higher call than completing programs of service designed by others. It is pleasing God!!!
So you may be asking How? How do you adjust your life to God's plan and discern whether or not your choice is a good thing? Or a God thing? Look at this verse:
1 Peter 5:6-9;
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares for you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith......
Just because your Church and other Christians are pleased, doesn't mean that God is pleased as well. We have to work for God's honor, not other people's opinion. Don't trust what other's think will be good. Trust God...then your strength and guidance will come from Him alone. Our primary goal has to be in pleasing God!!!
Satan doesn't mind if people think you are good. He doesn't mind if you fill your time doing good things. In fact, the devil will try and tempt you to be so busy with doing good that you don't have the time to spend with God. The good person does not bother the devil. The godly Christian poses the threat. Satan will tempt you to be good because he fears you will be godly.
Don't spend your walk with God being content with being good. God has called us to something more. Make your primary goal in life to please Him! Beg Him for a spirit-led journey. We need to do what God created us to do. Our true rewards await us in heaven, don't spend it here working for earthly treasures. Don't settle because that's just what satan wants you to do. Hang in there my sweet friends. There is a God in heaven who will strengthen us and give us a touch from Him that will help us do what we are called to do. Just Believe!!!
God Bless you ,
Love...Robbie
