Special Gifts From God

Special Gifts From God

Day 2 in Los Angeles, California 

Last night I met up with Jennifer Hausmann with JHaus demin here in LA. As we carried conversation, she eagerly told me about her up coming trunk shows across the Midwest as well as her plans for upcoming events. It was obvious that she was pumped for the upcoming shows, but I must admit that I was just as excited for her. Jennifer is one of the many that I have bumped elbows with over the past few weeks who is very passionate about what they do. There is something in that that makes my heart fill with joy.

In Romans 12:6-8, God states that we are each given different gifts, according to the grace given us. No matter where our gifts are given, whether it be in serving, teaching, encouraging, music, rodeo, or making demin, do it with cheerfully, joyfully, and with the Lord in mind.

Lord,
I just pray that today you help struggle to find something that they are passionate about. I pray Lord that you guide those who do know what they are passionate about to do whatever it is with you in mind.
Amen

The Uncomfortable Situations

The Uncomfortable Situations 

Day 1 in Los Angeles, California

It has been a great start to an exciting week here in Calofornia!! I must say that the air here is very refreshing! This morning I realized just how out of my comfort zone I am right now... I've never been a city girl... 4 lane traffic to me is crazy,scary! However as I proceeded to carry on, I was reminded that in our faith walks with Christ we are put into uncomfortable situation. It is in those situations that we learn to lean on Him.

This morning during devotional in Psalm 92, we are reminded that The Lord desires that we serve Him for as long as we live. Even in old age, believers have the privilege of obeying God and ministering to others. It is important that as we grow in age and faith that we remain young and fruitful all our lives. The Lord desires for us to be fun-loving,life-giving people that others enjoy knowing. We choose to grow old early or remain youthful all our days. The secret is to listen to Gods voice and obey Him in every situation.

Lord I pray that today that with everything I do, I do with you in mind.
Amen

RFD-TV The American - GOD WANTS YOU TO WIN

God Wants you To Win Prayer

- RFD-TV The American - 

There were a lot of things racing through my head this morning when I woke up. Immediately I went on to find the results from last night's performances at the PBR's #IronCowboy. Now I'm anxiously waiting forRFD-TV's The American to begin. I honor of these events, I wanted to reach out to those who are competing today or those who are in a place where they need God's encouraging words. 

God Wants You To Win!

A while ago, God spoke to my heart that, "A champion is someone who changes their world everyday-for the good- with the love of Him!" If you are a born-agian Christian, you have the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Champion of Champions living in you. His heart becomes your heart - the heart of a champion.

In the third chapter of Philippians, the apostle Paul says that he counts everything in life worthless when compared to one thing - knowing Jesus Christ. His whole life purpose was to know His savior intimately and to understand and fulfill the purpose that Jesus had for his life.

I believe that God is raising up people in every walk of life all over the world. The business, political, sports, agricultural, education, entertainment, musical, medical and yes, the rodeo world. Men and women full of the spirit of God, the word of God and the love of God; empowered to change their world.

God wants you to win in every arena of your life and truly: GOD WANTS YOU TO WIN! -- (1 Cor. 9:24-26)

I end with this prayer:
Dear Lord, I pray that you hold every cowboy up today as they compete. I pray that as these cowboys compete, they deny themselves the many things that would keep them from doing their best. Most importantly Lord, I pray that each of them competes to win YOUR heavenly reward that never disappears.
Amen.
