Fifteen More Years

Hi everyone.  Just felt like writing today because I have so much to be thankful for, it would be wrong towards God to keep it to myself.  Hope this helps somebody.

October is special for me because 15 years ago I was challenged with a diagnosis of Kidney Cancer.  At that time I put my faith into ACTION and today I am even more rooted in my Savior. It was actually September 1999 when I got the news, and a month later before I had my pruning.  That’s what I’m calling my surgery because of that word that reminds me that He cuts off every branch that is not bearing fruit so that my other members can bear more fruit.

There is a story in the Bible about a King, Hezakiah, who after being robbed by someone who he had confided in, he got sick. (Communing with, and confiding in the wrong people can rob you of the spirit and make you sick.)  He made some kind of medicinal paste out of figs, he prayed, and he asked the Lord for 15 more years.  I don’t actually remember asking the Lord for 15 more years but here I am here by His grace and His mercy.

The Lord has given me this time and I am  grateful for this opportunity to share the fruitfulness of growing in His spirit with anyone who has eyes to see, and ears to hear.  I am closer to the Lord because of this experience and more confident of His love towards me because even though I did not ask, He kept me all these years despite my shortcomings and lack of faith.  I can go to Him in prayer or I can read His word.  Which ever way we communicate with our Lord, let us not forget to ask, knock, and seek him above all other, for only He knows the number of our years.

We Have Enough

It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything here. So, I’m glad to be here with you to share some thoughts. It’s close to Christmas and I may not get back over here before December 25th, so I’m taking “Just Enough Time” to say Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, and Happy Holidays.

What I really want to share with you is what I have been doing since February. Yelp, it’s been that long. Here are some links that will catch you up on everything that’s public. I don’t have enough time to catch you up on private stuff and that’s too bad because I really value being open and authentic. So if you want the whole story of “Livingthepromiseseedlife” you’ll have to check out these links.

All these things I do by #Faith in Jesus Christ. Because I believe there is something just as important as having faith, and that is doing the #Work. “Because faith without work is Dead”. So I will keep on working whether or not I get rich, or whether I am recognized because I have been given “Just Enough” to accomplish what I’ve done and possibly what I will do. I’m satisfied I had enough to share. If you agree or have suggestions please share your comments and until the next time, “Live the Promise Seed Life”. And remember Jesus is “Enough”.
