Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there. Wow, motherhood is an amazing thing. In a single moment of a birth of a child your heart is forever tied to that person. This simple fact continues to amaze me every day as I watch my daughters grow and learn new things. Children are a blessing of the Lord. This verse is taking on new meaning everyday as I look at my daughters in a new light. They are a blessing given to me for a short amount of time compared to the grand scheme of things. It is my job to instill in them the knowledge of Jesus so they will grow to love him more every day. I think the blessing comes in seeing that job lived out as they love Jesus and choose to serve him with their lives. That is my desire for them.
Praying your children are a blessing from the Lord as you walk in each day with them.

Here is a picture of my awesome Mother's Day present. My husband has blessed me so much!
We did some open air preaching on May 18th in Down Town Raleigh at a Art Festival. We talked with several people about the hope of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have put two pictures of some of the people we talked with about the Gospel. A majority of the people I talked with think that they will be ushered into Gods presences after death because of their good life on earth. But when they are confronted with Gods commandments they can not escape even if they want to. When people including ourselves see who we are compared to Gods Holiness if we are honest we see we don't measure up. Our goodness can not get us into heaven only placing our faith in Jesus Christ and repenting from our sins brings about this marvelous transaction. We are in a society that drinks down sin like water.We must ask ourselves: Do we hate the sin in our life, does it grieve us? Do we weep over our sin because it has offended God? This rebellion is in every human heart I ask you to evaluate your life today. Please don't forget to pray that the truth Oliver, Alain and Robert heard that Gods Word would bring them to repentance. Hopefully through Gods grace their will be a blog posting every month I hope you are encouraged and challenged in your walk with our Great God. For those reading this that are not sure of your salvation I would ask you to contact me are some other person you trust who is in the faith to walk you through Gods Word.
