Faith in action

We as followers of Christ know that faith without action is dead. We need to keep our faith alive.
Listen, what is God saying to you?
How can we have faith if we do not act.
Faith is an action word!

New Journey

Hello, it has been a long time. Be prepared for some more possibilities as I pray about starting this blog back up about my new walk. A different kind of walk but a walk all the same. The Lord now has us in the West Indies. More to come

Super Chicken!

     No I am not writing about a super hero chicken, I'm not even talking about good tasting chicken. I'm talking about Gideon.
    As I learn a little more about Gideon and how God used him I can relate to him a lot.
     He was afraid and God used him. The army that Gideon was to go against was almost 500 times larger than his army! But, God used his 300 to defeat over 130,000! This goes to show that we do not need a lot to defeat the enemy. Sometimes I look at my own life and the things God asks me to do and I add that little word, IF, just like Gideon did. If you really want me to do this God, or ,If this is really your will than show me. I can not even count how many times I have said something like that to God!
     If you have some time read about Gideon in the book of Judges. It is an amazing story. You can read in online at Biblegateway.com
God used the fearful to do something huge!
The main thing is that Gideon didn't let his fear get in the way of God. Gideon didn't wait for someone to follow or for people to follow him before he acted.
     Don't wait for people to follow you into the fight get in the fight and people will follow.

Thank you very much!

If These Shoes Could Talk

The day has come to launch my Kickstarter.com book project! Thank you all for your support. Just a quick re-cap before I launch.
Kickstarter.com is a fundraising website for independent artists of all types. The main thing to understand that the fund raising is an all or nothing effort. If the funding goal is not met the project receives no money and the donors do not get the opportunity to be part of the project and get there donations back. That means you really are the only way this project will be able to continue!
I have done some final updates for my rewards offered. You will have the opportunity to donate in amounts from $1 to $2500. So everyone can be a part of this amazing book!
Thank you so much for your participation in this project!

I will post a direct link to my project as soon as it is launched at 5pm tonight, here on my blog.

Here is a link to my project preview page. You will not have the oppotunity to be involoved untill 5pm, but you can preview the project first if you wish.
