Be Men and Women of Courage, Love, Strength, Dignity and Character!

I encourage all of the men out there to read, read, read books by Eric and Leslie Ludy and by Joshua Harris! I encourage all of the men out there to be strong in character and in Faith in Jesus! We need to see more men standing up for what's right and not backing down and lowering their character and standards! You are more than what you think! Your potential is HIGH! Your goals and dreams can be reached! The first amazing step is letting go of what "you have planned" and reaching beyond yourself to the HIGHER calling of trusting God! He will open and close doors in your life! The first step to a total Christ centered life is faith and trust in God's will and purpose, In God's timing and in God's faithfulness! He will NEVER EVER let you down and He is more than your dreams! He is the author of your dreams and your story! He wants all of you so that He can give you ALL of Himself! Because He laid down His life for us, we need to lay down "our life for Him"! Complete surrender is what needs to be desired-total "let go" of our own selfish desires and wants! That goes for females to. I am talking to males because they should be the leaders of today! To take their place of leadership and stand strong for who God has made them to be!

Women, do you know what would be amazing? What would be wonderful? It would be wonderful if we would protect the men's hearts and eyes! They are our brothers and they need us to shine the light of Christ through modesty in what we wear and through our walk with Christ and with our lives in all that we do and think! They need us to be all that God has created us to be-to love and respect the men in our lives, to honor them above ourselves, to clothe ourselves with dignity and humility! We need to light the way for the generations that will follow after us! We only have one life-don't waste it on worthless, worldly passions and desires! Live EVERYTHING God has called you to be and do in HIS perfect timing! I promise that God is faithful and the He knows what's best for you because He made you in His image and He made you to be a reflection of HIM!

GO CONQUER WITH LOVE, STRENGTH, DIGNITY AND CHARACTER! BE MEN AND WOMEN OF COURAGE! BE A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD!

Soul Surfer***



Bethany Hamilton is one girl that I look up to. She is so brave and courageous and so inspiring! I want to be like her in more than one way! She never gave up and when the shark attack happened to her, she stood firm and did all that God called her to do! She has strong faith and is a woman of much character. She follows her dream and continues doing it without fail. I am sure that she has had moments when she felt like giving up and felt like she couldn't go on another day, but she didn't QUIT! She is so inspiring and so wonderful! I know that in all things God is faithful, even when it is in the difficult times. God shows His power and love in all seasons, not just in the good or not just in the bad, but in all things! We can have faith and believe that He will guide our every step. We have to take every chance we have to show the love of Christ and draw closer to Him. We have to seek Him and then we will find Him! I want to become a Soul Surfer for Jesus!


I encourage you to watch the movie "Soul Surfer" and learn as much as you can about Bethany Hamilton! Her life is a true reflection of Jesus!
