Lord, i am very aware that you are moving on my behalf in every aspect... Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally and Mentally! Lord, I am very aware that you are moving things in the spiritual realm that even i cannot see today!!!! I will not give Satan the satisfaction of allowing anything but praise to come out of my mouth! In the midst, so many wonderful things occurred today!!!!

1. We have been given the opportunity to retake test three with open books and notes!!!!

Lord, I truly just praise you Because, in all your ways you are good! You are pleasing! You are Holy! You are Love! You are others-minded! You are fealess! You are Love...

Gracious Father, I ask that you would please just continue to pour out your Holy Spirit on your people! Amen

30 Days of Praise....

Lord, I praise you for the Healing that you are doing within me! Lord, I am afraid and I am nervous, but i know that you are about to produce something so beautiful, so radient, so refined... So you... Lord, I ask that you would truly show me what lies in my heart!!!! So that I may give it back to you! You are my father, my Best Friend, my Mentor my Everything Lord. I know that I cannot properly go into the ministry that you have called me into until I am whole... and Healed! COMPLETELY! So I ask that you would start here... I give me you heart, my mind my self... Please take this trash and make it into your treasure. I praise you because above all else you are a God of the Heart. No one knows it like you... Search and Show Lord! I praise you!

~Heal me, O Lord, and I will be Healed. Save me and I will be Saved, for you are the one I praise!~ Jeremiah 17:14

You Loved Me...

'And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.'~ Joel 2:28

Sometimes I like to just sit back and listen to worship songs that speak about how God will always meet us in our time of need! How good is a father that knows our every desire. Stop... Just think How wide and how deep and how Long is the love of Christ! Christ... He came so that we would just have a chance to live life... Abundantly. Christ, that continues to fill our cups. Christ, who came so that we may have a Holy Ghost that would comfort us and strengthen us and call us his own. Do you know Jesus! The same Jesus that bubbles over in the hearts of all men... I just can't thank him enough! I truly Love Him and I worship him and without him.. I don't even desire to contemplate where and who I would be.

I delight in you father! Because you have caught my tears. You have shaped me away from my iniquity but have fashioned me in the comfort of your heart! Please continue to teach me to love you! I need you! I want you! I desire your Love and Mercy and Grace upon my head. Annoint my going and coming. Call me your own. Show me what you have blessed me to do. Don't take your love from me, I will not survive if you do. You are my everything. Amen.

Who would have thought...

... Christianity followed Colonization. In many areas of the world, the word 'Missionary' has a bad connotation? Many of the African countries have a belief that when France Colonized their lands, it was the church... and now they see the Catholic church as representation of all churches? It really makes me think. My teacher mentioned that after 2 months he stopped introducing himself as 'missionary so and so...." How do you change the mindset of a people who have been hurt by what they consider 'The Church'.... Leave it to God

I'm Back!

Wow, it's been a while....

Well, let me start off by saying that my name is Tish! I am the creator of this wonderful blog entitled blog of Christ! The last time i posted was in my sometime so many things have changed, such as...
1. Mission trip to Dallas (July 20th-Aug. 8th)!!! It was wonderful. Unlike any of the previous trips I was a leader, which was a bit different in that I didn't minister to those we went to minister to. My ministry was towards those who also came on the trip. Interesting. Difficult but definitely a spiritual growth. I also have a new Accountability Partner. I will be writing more about that in the next post though.

2. I transferred schools. I no longer attend Ursuline College. I am not at Mount Vernon Nazarene University which is about two hours away from home. Do I like it, yes I do. Are there things I dislike, yes there is. But every morning I have to remind myself that the Lord has called me here for a very specific reason, and I have to just let my desires pass.

3. I will be starting a 21 day Daniel Fast on Sunday. Am i excited? O yes. More than anything. I know that every time i set aside things for the Lord and to get closer to him he honors that request. And what I am really wanting right now is to fully be immersed in his spirit! So i cannot wait!!!

4. I am taking Spanish which is wonderful, but my favorite class would have to be my Foundations of Missions on Tuesdays and Thursdays! In this class we actually debate on our personal beliefs about biblically related topics, opinionated things and etc. So on this blog, there will be a lot of things posted, that will be directly link to what we spoke about. I hope you enjoy! I am happy to be Back!!! Hopefully everyday!

I am not my own!

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." ~ 1 Corinthians 6:20- 7:1

Living in this world, Living in America, Living comfortably offers the opportunity of developing a mindset of ownership. There's many times that I have thought to myself, 'you bought it so it's by right yours' or even with the court systems... If a couple gets divorced, if there was no Prenuptial agreement, it gets split down the line 50/50 whether fair or not. Everyone comes to the point where they feel like they deserve something...

In 1st Corinthians 6 and 7 the writer says it so perfectly, that "I am not my Own, I was purchased at a Price" and of course the owner he is referring to Is Christ. Christ purchased us with his blood that was shed on Calvary, something that he will never inquire a refund for. Knowing that this life that i live is not my own, and that i was made for a purpose gives so much clarity on my role as a Child of God. In Romans it says to 'present yourselves as Living Sacrifices, Holy and Pleasing' and that is a mandate that we have been given. That is our way of saying thank you... The only worship that will please our Savior. But it's a day to day thing! Walking after the spirit leads to walking in obedience!

"Lord, you o Lord alone know my heart. Because you have created it. Even in my most sensitive times, you have given me your heart to carry. I want to grow deeper and deeper in your love... Amen
