Fwd: Fw: Do you know Him or know of Him?


Dear Friend,
 
Each morning we wake up to face problems that threaten to overwhelm
us…financial worries, health issues, relationship crisis…and we can't be
certain what the new day will bring.
 
Thankfully, God is bigger than any problem you will ever face. In the Bible,
He has made many promises to those who love and obey Him: freedom from
fear, peace, protection, provision, guidance, and deliverance. But you can't
claim any of God's promises if you don't know Him…
 
The Bible says,
"But when the right time came, God sent His Son…God did
this…so we could become His children…God sent the Spirit of His Son into
your hearts, and the Spirit cries out, "Father." So now you…are God's child,
and God will give you the blessing He promised, because you are His child
"
(Galatians 4:4-7).
 
 
All you have to do to become God's child today is believe that…

 Jesus Christ is God's Son.

 He lived a sinless life.

 
He accepted the punishment for your sins by allowing Himself to be
 crucified on a cross.


 God raised Him to life again in three days.

 You are a sinner who needs to escape the punishment of your sins.

 You want Jesus to be your Savior and Lord.
 
When you ask Jesus to save you from your sins and be the Lord of your life,
you inherit all the promises of God including His promise of living with Him in
Heaven forever after you die.
 
Would you like to become God's child right now? Then just say this simple prayer:
"Jesus, You loved me so much that You gave Your life for me. I believe You
are God's Son. I believe You lived a sinless life and that You died for my sins.
I believe You rose from the dead so that I can live forever with You in Heaven.
Jesus, please forgive me for all my sins. I invite you to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You for making me a child of God."


If you just said these words and believed them in your heart, then you are now
God's child and an heir to all of His promises. Welcome to the family! The angels
in Heaven are rejoicing over YOU at this very moment!

Blah humbug at being Sick

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an AVID hand washer and hand washing is what all the experts recommend for keeping germs at bay.  Undoubtedly my germs or somebody else's didnt get the memo b/c  I'm recuperating from some cold like sickness.  I seriously think Wednesday I was in the process of developing a fever but Thank God that didnt transpire.  Even though I was rather flushed for the first few hours on the job.   I just had the flu around this time a year ago and prior to that I hadn't had the flu in 10 yrs.   Crazy thing about whatever this is/was is that I'm not congested nasally.  *shocked face*   I've got this nagging sleepytime sore throat.  I call it that b/c it only hurts when I've been asleep.  I keep waking up to clear it and earlier tonight I couldnt stop coughing.   I was so zonked off those Theraflu caplets a lot of it I cant really tell If i did it or if I dreamed it.  One positive of this is I'm getting plenty of rest.  Be it by my own volition or by the heavy hand of cold medicine sedatives.   I'm believing God that I"ll be right as rain come next week.

Why so sensitive?

I want to be tough. Not physically so but emotionally. I don't want to tear up everytime something gets me down. At this particular point, I think it's hormonal b/c it's been bad the past few days. Minus the hormones, I still have a problem with it. I don't know how or why this happened b/c this didn't start until I got way older. There is a such a thing as too much sensitivity. Not saying that I'm overly sensitive but somethings just shouldn't bother me.

Once again.....with feeling

Have you ever just had a time where you felt so inadequate? It becomes most glaringly obvious when I'm in the company of my friends who have careers and are in the works of propelling those careers. I constantly feel as though I'm not living up to my potential b/c I know Im not. Almost everyone had some goal or dream or aspiration in the duration of their lives, present writer included, but it looks like mine have fallen by the wayside. I know what I want to do. I just dont know what direction I need to take to get there, and things are difficult around me which makes it just that much harder to do what I want. I dont want to just be content with the status quo. I don't want to work a deadbeat job with no room for improvement or advancement. I want to do something that makes a difference not only for me but for other people. Job experts are always recommending finding something you enjoy doing and that's what I want. I want a job that is satisfying yet meets my financial needs. I don't have to have some 6 figure salary based in a corner office, but I would like to have a salary that would allow me some financial freedom. I want to travel and see things. DO things. I'm still young but the years are flying by and time quite literally waits for noone. I just don't know what to do.
