Gods will

The older I get the more I see the truth. Gods will for my life is not a destination. Its not a person place or thing, its a posture for living, God wants me to seek Him, have a relationship with Him and to Love others as He Loves us. That's it. When I do these things He adds all things to me. JesusCrawl ministries is taking off. I said I would keep it posted so I am. Chad stayed up late Wednesday night putting a rough draft of the brochure together, Seeing it for real was really cool. We should have it finalized next week and take it to press. The next step after that is funding. There are several people that have said they are interested in helping that believe in what God is doing through me. We are praying for direction and Gods will for JesusCrawl. Your prayers would be gratefully appreciated.

Serenity

This is the long version. The actual prayer that A.A. and others have shortened. I wonder if new comers to recovery programs would use it if they knew it all to start with?

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.Living one day at a time. Enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace. Accepting,as Jesus did,this sinful world as it is not as I would have it. Knowing that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this world and supremely happy with You , forever, in the next."

Faith or Fear

God is really working on me today. Chads message yesterday hit home. I have a new dedication to starting "JesusCrawl". I have had excuses for the wait,no more. I purchased,with money I didn't have,printer cartridges today to get everything in order to take to the production company. I think my fear has not been failure but success. I know this is what God wants from me so here we go. Success means I will be helping addicts,alcoholics and youth full time. That means totally relying on Him for everything. Isn't that what faith is?!!! I will keep you posted. If you want to help financially or any other way e-mail me at jesuscrawl@yahoo.com. Peace and Love

I officiated my first funeral today,or as we call them "Celebration services" I have mixed emotions .I am not proud or happy that I did this service.I am not looking forward to ever doing another. Though I am amazed that God used me for His Glory. The fact that an addict,alcoholic devils MVP that I used to be performed a funeral service today is living proof God is still in the miracle business!!!! We all need to learn to love and understand that our only position of power as Christians Is love..
Peace-Love Jeff

My first blog!!!

I have finally figured this thing out.As much as I have fought it,I now believe God can work in spite of this technology.There is much evil on the Internet.WE as believers can do battle here as well.It took so long for me to get this set up it is now family time.Priorities.Romans 12-2 states"Do not conform to the patterns and customs of this world but let God transform you by the renewing of your mind..."That is why I titled my blog,Captive Thoughts,WE need to take all thoughts captive and run them through our Jesus filter.
Peace and Love
