Have you Count your Blessings Today?

Hey Guys ,
Have you counted your blessings today ? I have and I lost count because there are so many ..... God really blesses me more than I deserve !!! A friend told me to write down 20 things I am thankful for before I go to bed . Sometimes we live our busy lives and get so depressed because there isn't much time or whatever but when you sit down and write down what you are thankful for you will be surprised at what God has done for you !!! Don't let LIFE get you down because one day we wont have to worry about that anymore because we will be with GOD who is perfect, loving, caring, and wants you part of his plan !!! Here are a few of my 2o things I am thankful for :
1) The Cross
2) My Salvation
3) Family and friends
I want to challenge you all to do this and you will be surprised what you will see what God has done for you !! I have been meeting new friends just in my Sunday School class who have been helpful in my life and I am thankful God put them there!!! I love my God and what he has done in my life !!! He is so amazing and I can't stop saying how much I love him and I am glad he gave his son just for me and you !!! Well I guess that is it for now !!! Just remember God does care and he does bless when you think he hasn't ...... Also I want to leave you with a quote I have heard from a wonderful, witness for christ, and friend of mine said " God is not out to hurt our PRIDE- He is out to KILL it !!''

Easter 2011 / Happy Resurrection Day !!!

Hey Guys,
I hope you all are having a great Easter !!! I had a great time in worship this morning !!! We had 2 children and 2 youth get baptized this morning!!! It is amazing at how God is blessing our church family !!! I loved the phrase that our preacher said .... " He isn't here because he is RISEN !!" ..... I know my God will come back to get his children but until that day I am going to learn more and more of his word and win others to Christ !!! I know I can't save them but only God can !!! God has put some wonderful people in my life to show me where I need to go and I am thankful he has they are have become part of my life and I am blessed to have them !!! But I realized how amazing God is !!! He sent those people in my life because he knew they would help me be the person I needed to be !!! He has a plan for it isn't to harm me but to prosper me !! I love that song and some others !!! I could use a lot of words and still couldn't really tell how I feel about him !!! He is the lover of my soul, my provider, my protector , and he is soon coming back !!! I hope you are ready because he is coming !!!! I am glad I am getting ready because I want him to be able to say you are my faithful servant !!!!
If I don't see you again ..... I know I will see some of you on the other side !!!!

Love Always,
Haley

22nd Birthday

Hey Guys,
I just celebrated my 22nd Birthday yesterday !!! I was amazed at all the birthday wishes from people I am in contact with everyday to people I see every blue moon from high school!!! It shows how much people care!!! When you leave this place one day what will people say about you ??? I want people to think of me as a Radical Follower of Jesus Christ !!! In Matthew 28 verses 18-20 tells we are to make disciples !!! That does mean to " scare them out of Hell" .... It means to disciple them into growing Christians.... We tend to do that and not show them how to grow !!! I want to see people grow like I am learning how to grow and to tell other about the Love of God ..... I also want people to say she was on fire for God and still was until she died!!!! I am learning news things each and everyday when I am in the Word of God !!! I am learning to Love and Live like Christ even though I still sin but I am constantly talking and walking with God everyday !!! I don't know the plans he has for me but I know they aren't to harm me but prosper me into what he wants ..... He is the Potter and I am the Clay !!! Well I hope I made sense but I also hope you learned something from this !!! Well take care and remember to be nice to people because you never know when they are having a bad day or just need a some Love from God's children !!!

Love Always ,
Haley

Hey Guys,
It has been a beautiful day !!! I have been thinking here lately about how awesome God is !!! 1) how he created everything 2) letting his only son die for us so that we can live eternally with him !! I forget sometimes until I am walking alone in the park or just outside messing around. He created storms and sunshine !!! Even though I don't like storms its amazing how everything was created by the God who formed us so that we could praise and witness to others about him !!!! God created everyone of us in his own image !!! I guess I need to stop with my busy life and just thank God for all he has done for me !!! God has truly blessed me through out my life !!! He has given me wonderful people in my life ........ He has given me a wonderful husband whom I truly love and respect ..... I know he isn't perfect but neither am I !!! Then he has given me my parents , grandparents and extended family and most of all my church family ...... I also have met this couple that has been a blessing to me and my family and that is The Holcombs .... They are great christian people who love God !!! I love them like my own family !!! I have met some many other people who have been great influences in my life as well but I can't name them all!!!
I hope everyone else has people that have touched them in so many ways..... just stop and thank God for those people in your life and also let them know !!! You never know when God will call us home !!!
Love Always,
Haley

Prayer is Powerful!!!

Hey Guys,
I hope everyone is doing good !!! I am doing great just learning more about how to be a better disciple to God and how I can change somethings in my life and how to have a better relationship with my Father in Heaven !!! I am beginning to learn more and more and also amazed at how much difference I can make with other people!!! I am memorizing scriptures to hide in my heart so one day when I need them I can just spit them out !!! God is truly amazing and he is doing great things in my life!!! I didn't realized how powerful prayer is until one day I prayed that God would send someone to me to challenge me but in a good way that was pleasing to God and He did !!! It is neat how God sends people to you when you need them !!! I have memorized most of the Romans Road and plan to know more !!! I pray that if you don't have a great relationship with God or you are just lost and looking for answers about "Where is God" or " What God has planned for me " .... Know that God never leaves you , we are the ones who walk away !!! Well that is it for now !!! I hope everyone has a blessed day and I will post again soon !!

Love ,
Haley

Amazing Life !!!

Hey Guys,
I have been learning how to be a disciple for about three weeks now ..... Its new to me and its a couple in our church that have a ministry that teaches how to be a disciple for Christ !!! It is an amazing experience and I love the couple who is teaching it!!! They are my inspiration because I love the way they love Jesus !!! Through this teaching I have learned how to maintain a personal bible study on my own and how to pray and have a conversation with Jesus!!! I am blessed to have this couple in my life and church family !!!! I have memorized scriptures and I haven't had to memorize scriptures in years !!!

When I started going to these classes I have talked to the lady before for other reasons and when first met her I thought to myself that woman lives for Christ , I want to live like too..... So about a month went by and Mom asked me to go with her to a bible bible study ...... Then God knocked on heart and said you need to keep doing this !!!
Well I will keep you informed on how things are going and what the Father has shown me !!!
May God bless everyone and Hope everyone is having a great day so far !!

In Christ ,

Haley

Busy Time !!!

Hey Guys,
It has been quiet sometime since I blogged on here..... Since then I have left ICC and have gotten married.... We are have been married 6 months now !! It doesn't seem that long . Also my family has gone through some tough times now . In October my brother had food poisoning and the doctor found his serve scoliosis . We went to a specialist in Memphis where they did a MRI on his spine and found a condition called Chiari Malformation .... Which is a condition where the brain stem meets the spinal cord opening where the spinal fluid goes and it causes the spinal fluid to not be able to go anywhere and caused a lot of problems that seemed to be nothing but did become something..... He had the Chiari surgery on March 7 th and left the hospital on March 16th .... He had surgery at Lebonheur ..... That hospital is a great hospital !!! My brother has one more surgery on May 18 th to have rods put in his back !!!! But he is doing great !!! I am a proud sister of a very brave brother !!! God has truly blessed me with a great family whom I love so much ....... My church is another place that is great !!! We have great people in our church that lives for Jesus and is trying to reach people to Christ !!!
I am thankful that I have a place I can worship and christian friends and family I can come to and most of all I am thankful I have my Father in Heaven who I can run to with problems or just to praise him !! I am learning how to get closer to God better and memorizing his scripture to hide in my heart so I can tell others about eternal life and amazing love the Father has for all of us !!! Well that is all for now .... Hope everyone has a blessed day / weekend ..
Love ,
Haley
