The Three of Us

The three of us have been friends for awhile now and we've walked along with the Lord. He's shown us that He's faithful, that He's all that we need, especially when the world comes crashing down around us. We've held each other in contention and we've loved on each other, we've been angry and frustrated and we've had patience as we confront each other in love and He's been with us through our refining friendship. I'm so thankful that my friends are real with me and that they're serving Him and desiring to love Him and know Him more.

He's aloud Jessica to go through the School of Evangelism at Horizon, providing for her along the way and He's aloud Smaranda to join our worship team, become our worship leader and minister to the women at Home Fellowship. He's aloud me to find healing in becoming a Preschool teacher loving on the children. He's reigniting some old desires that He's put on my heart and helping me see that they might not be that impossible with faith.

Smaranda's reading, "Man of Faith," and reminding me that we can have dreams and desires, we can have love for one another, we can have all the good intentions in the world, but we'll always have a choice and without choosing action, without choosing to move forward with the Lord, it's as if those intentions weren't even there at all. His word shows us that without faith it is impossible to please Him and He calls us to be in the business of pleasing Him, to find out what pleases Him, what honors Him and what encourages Him to keep working in our lives. We're reminded that our faith without work is dead, just as work without faith is dead and that there's nothing worse than love that's kept secret...who after all hides his light. Oh NO! We must let our light shine before all men that they would see the good work and PRAISE our father in Heaven.

I love you Jesus!
