One Love, One King, All Christ

One Love is what God created
A Love that only He truly can give
Many in the World say this can be debated
However, He is also the only God to forgive

He has forgiven us all of our sin
There is nothing that he will not release
One Love has been woven deep within
It is here that we find God’s grace and peace

One King is whom I shall submit to
For my life is no longer mine
His sacrifice was for me and you
We are adopted into the Heavenly bloodline

This King has conquered all
Every knee shall Bow when he speaks
Under His reign Satan will Fall
Giving us power when we are weak

All Christ is what fills my heart
Nourishing my mind and soul
His promise is we shall never part
To him I surrender all control

His desire is to see me shine
To see Christ wherever I am
All Christ is my Hearts design
My life devoted to the Lion and the Lamb

Summer Time

Every year now for the last 11 years I get an entire summer off.  It is such an amazing feeling, but even more so this Summer.  This is the Summer I can devote to spending time with God when I am not doing football or wrestling practices.  It is a time when I can write and actually finally finish the 2 books I started writing so many years ago.  I have always used Summer as a time to just sit back and be lazy.  A time to enjoy the keys and take naps ( Yes, I do not have any Children yet, so naps still happen!)  God has placed it on my heart to write about a special book idea in particular, one that will reach many hearts, both men and women.  I am excited as I have started to listen to God’s voice and go in the direction he is sending me.  I want more opportunities to let Christ shine, I want to have fun with people, speak in front of crowds, laugh, dance and sing! Shoot I want to be undignified for Christ.  I do not want to let this Summer go as usual.  It is time to truly enjoy God the way he intended for his Beloved.  I know the more I want to do for God, the better the programs on TV are going to be, or the stronger the nap time is going to feel.  However, these distractions are simply that, things in the way of me getting to know Christ that much better and keeping his word from healing those that read what I write.  I am thankful for a God who says He loves me and then does everything in his power to make sure I know it. This Summer is dedicated to Him and in a way that the time I spend will  not be wasted, but used to glorify Jesus in my everyday life.  One Love, One King, All Christ!

Bold as a Lion!

I have been thinking about the men and women of the bible, the ones who God appointed to do his will.  As I learn about their lives and their choices.  It is apparent that every last one of them has something they struggle with heavily.  Moses stuttered and was fearful, King David was a murderer and adulterer, Elisha went into deep depression (usually after serving the Lord). However, each of them served God as Bold as a Lion, when the time came for them to do as he put it on their heart, it was done.  It gives me comfort to know that life isn’t supposed to be easy just because we believe in Jesus, rather it will be a life where we must stand Boldly through the pain, loss, grief and victories.  It is having the courage to know that Jesus gives us the courage and even more so that once we choose to follow him, he puts us right where we need to be.  A question a friend recently asked was” Would you do high school over?” Now I have thought about those years a lot and I did enjoy my high school years very much even though the thought of going back is tempting because of hindsight being 20/20, I would not.  You see the life we live in is reality and in this reality we must make the most of the opportunities that are presented to us.  I can not tell you how many regrets I should have, but as of the last few years I have decided to take chances and trust that God is a part of what is going on.  When we make these decisions in our lives, even ones that affect others we must be as Bold as a Lion regardless of our fears, because that is what God calls his righteous ones.  There is no need for us to run, because in all honestly, in most cases we are running from our self and there is no one pursuing.  It is time my friends that we, me and you, face our fears with God as our Shield and our Sword. It is through his sacrifice and his Kingship that we are his Beloved.  As you spend time with God ask him to give you the Boldness of a Lion, a beast that shows no fear when it chooses to conquer a task or a land.  We, my friends, have no reason to flee because our Savior says he is with us.  What more do we need to be as Bold as a Lion. One Love, One King, All Christ!
