COME AWAY WITH ME
” 36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” –Matthew 26:36-46 (NIV)
Father, may we grow daily to be like your Son, Jesus….taking time to pray continually to you and being one with you. Amen.
CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE
One year old!
Nice crooked bow for Kindergarten!
I guess it seems almost like God wants us to rejoice in those same ways once a year when our birthday rolls around. There are so many things to celebrate.
After all, we are God’s child…a great reason to celebrate!

They remind me that I am special to the Lord, and that He is Lord of ALL creation.
High school graduation
The current ME!
REJOICE & CELEBRATE the fact that YOU are a special part of God’s creation!
When I think of celebrating ME, I can’t help but think of my favorite, what I call “life song,” Offering by Third Day. I know I’ve shared it before, but take a moment to click the link below and really listen to the message of the song.
For me, in my heart and soul, this song holds such special meaning and truly summarizes that
MY life is my OFFERING to Him for all He has done for ME.
This song is an older song of Third Day’s, so it was such a blessing to hear them play it live at the last concert I went to! Such a wonderful song!!
