What Do You Need?

Hello All!

Yesterday after a conversation with a dear friend of mine. She asked me, "What do you need"? I don't know what made her think to ask me that but I was in need of prayer. Specifically regarding discipline. As I wrote yesterday, I need to get up earlier in the morning in order to add waking hours to my day in order to get more things done. So, I then asked her what did she need and she mentioned guidance. So we prayed for each others needs before getting off the phone.

I later had the thought of how often do we talk with someone and not ask them, "What do you need"? People are in need all around us. They have spritual needs, financial needs, they need encouragment or maybe just a good laugh.

So I am asking you my dear friends, "What do you need"?

Much Love,
Jamison

Desire, Drive and Discipline

Hello All!

I wanted to share with you all something a dear woman shared with me today. She said that she is seeking God to help her with the three D's. Desire, Drive and Discipline.

She talked about the things she desires to do for God and to have in life for herself and her family. She talked about increasing her drive. Working towards those goals everyday. Then lastly she mentioned the discipline. This week she started getting up at 4am to have devotion and to start her day early.

While she was telling me all of this I began to think, I like the sound of that! There are things I desire to do for the Lord and desire to have. I need to work on achieving those goals a little bit everyday. Even if only for 30 minutes a day. But most of all I need to work on the discipline. The only thing getting me out of bed at 4am is Gizmo the Wonder dog needing to go outside. LOL!

Anyway, we all have to focus on the desires, drive, discipline in our lives. The only way we can achieve those 3 things day in and day out is by keeping God first.

Matthew 6:33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you".


Love ya,
Jamison

Daddy-Daughter day

Hello All!

As you know this was Father's Day weekend. Two weeks ago my father told me what he wanted to do on that Saturday leading up to Father's Day.

We went to Waffle House for a super breakfast! We walked out stuffed. Then Dad wanted to go to the farmer's market. This was the perfect thing to do right after our heavy breakfast. All though it was hot enough to fry an egg on my car the walk around the market turned out to be the perfect remedy for walking done our meal.

We enjoyed it so that Dad said we should go every 2 weeks. Then we walked over to the Flea Market. Neither one of us had ever been to a flea market before so it was almost over whelming for this shopper to see so many neat things. Most of what Dad and I bought was for Gizmo the Wonder Dog!

After the Flea and Farmer's Market Dad wanted to walk around the mall and he actually sat in the shoe store with me while I looked around. Can you believe it!!! (I did not buy anything. Not my kind of store.) Finally, I took him to pick up his truck. It was a great day!

Our Heavenly Father wants to take time with us as well. He is actually waiting on us to devote time out of our busy schedules for Him. When was the last time we sat down without any distractions. Just the two of you. Take the time beginning today to spend time with your one and only God.

Love,
Jamison

Something New

Just when you think you are inthe grove of life. At least somewhat. God has something new for you to do. It maybe for many years to come or it maybe for just a short period of time.

Something new was just added to my things to do list. This particular project may only be for a few months it is no less important to my heavenly Father.

The same is for you my friends. Whether you have been given a lifelong ministry task or a task that is for a couple of weeks or somewhere in the middle, give your all to that task and seek God to give you the wisdom and strength to complete that task for His glory.

May god bless you and keep you in all that you do. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Love ya,

Jamison

Do you know...

Do you know what you are supposed to be doing at this very moment for God's Holy kingdom? What has He given you to do? Are you preparing yourself to do what He has placed on your heart? Are you searching His word and praying for His will to be done in your life?

We ALL have a purpose for being alive one more day. According to Matthew 5:16 we are to let our light shine. Do not fill bad if you are given a flashlight, another has a spot light and yet another has a lighthouse. What matters is that you shine your light, ..."so that men will see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven".

Love,
Jamison

What will people say about you?

On last Tuesday I went to a funeral for the mother-in-law of a dear aquaintance. At the funeral one of the deceased ladies friend spoke about her. What struck me about what her friend said about her shocked me.

The woman began talking about her friends unique ways of doing things and planning activities for them. She was very involved in an organizations of girlfriends who were like sisters to each other because some of them had no biological sister(s).

Then as the woman kept talking about her friend and we in the congregation laughed. It all of a sudden hit me that the woman seemedd to be discribing me. WOW! Then my next thought was, what would my friends and others say about me at my funeral.

What will people say about you?

It is up to you to treat everyone right with the love of Jesus in you coming out of you in your conversation and actions. All you can do is what God commands us to do. People are going to love and people are going to dislike you. But what really matters is what God will say about you.

Will He say well done good and faithfull servant or will He say depart from me I never new you?

I want to hear well done! Well done! Enter into the rest of the Lord!

Are we really doing well my friends? Are we really?

Father, in the name of your Son Jesus Christ, I pray that You help us to do well. do be obidient to Your call, Your will, Your word and Your way. Lord touch my sisters and brothers ready this post to give their all to You so that when they stand before You at the gates of Heaven You will say to them, Well Done. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Much Love,

Jamison
