Just Be Here

What do you think God wants from you? Do you think he wants you to be perfect? To find the best job, buy the best car, find the most expensive house? What if he just wants YOU...to be here with him. I recently watched the new Winnie The Pooh movie called Christopher Robin. In the movie, Christopher Robin was an adult and worked a lot. He tried to get the best for his family and he had a great job, but his family wasn't satisfied with him. It had appeared he had failed them, what more could he do? I think the best answer is "just be here." In the movie his wife stated how he was never there anymore. "I haven't seen you smile in a long time" she stated. "How could she be so unpleased if he was so successful?" The problem is, he may be successful career wise but he wasn't succeeding his family. They didn't need him to win some promotion or climb the financial ladder, they simply wanted his presence. What if that's what God wants from all of us? God has been working in my heart (as he does with every message I post here) and let me realize he doesn't want my perfection, he doesn't want my diploma, he doesn't want my money, he doesn't want my popularity...He just wants me. Being in the presence of God is (in His eyes) the most successful you could ever be. Do you know what it's like to be praised after you just won the promotion at work? What about to be the center of attention? Come on, you know you get excited when you finish the paper work for that new car or house. "sweet!" may be the sound coming from your mouth. God wants that rejoicing moment with you. When you take steps to Jesus, God starts preparing the horns to celebrate fellowship with you. Being a christian is a relationship, it's not a religion like people say it is. We are not brainwashed zombies following a cult that we were forced into or swayed into. True Christians are walking side by side daily with a friend who is closer than any other human relationship in this world. We were created for God. Everything leads us to God. How can you have a disbelief or any feeling for something that doesn't exist? Most disbelief in God stems from hate for God, but if he doesn't exist, how can some hate him? Some may believe some may not, but God just wants you. Are you going to mess up along the way? Sure but God will never leave you. Just take steps towards him and you will not regret it! Remember, he just wants you to be here.

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
