IBS- MARK 10:46-52
“Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”  

I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sins and my dis belief. I love Gods commitment to us and how when he heard the blind man crying out He didn’t just say yes you are healed he allowed it to be yet another example of His ability and all mighty power to shine and show so more would believe in Him. The last verse made me really stop and think of how little faith I still have and how can this really be when I have seen and heard and even read right in the bible these faithful servants that follow after Christ and are used and made clean and fresh once again. I really took some time and tested my faith out for real this time. I know God has good plans for me and after really sitting and seek out Him He has started to mend me and heal me after all the scares that have happened with me walking and taking control (well the control I thought I had) of my own life. I know I still have a lot of healing left to do and even breaking but I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here. Here in Whitefish Montana where there is nothing but good Godly people surrounding me and mountains of course. And I just continue to pray that God would bend me and break me but even more mend me not back together- because those things are cut out for a reason but mend me into the person he can use to glorify Him. Day one of one.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do good work hardily as for the Lord and not to men.” Christians often talk about working for God, going on a mission’s trip for God, doing the ministry for God. Its good to talk that way. It’s biblical. We are promised that through Christ we will “bear fruit for God” and we are called to “work heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.” So, we should do things for God. But what does that mean? Sometimes when we talk about doing something for someone, we mean that we are going to meet their needs. So, if we talked about doing something for the poor, we mean we are going to meet the needs of the poor. But is that what we mean when we talk about doing things for God? When the Bible calls us to do things for God, is it calling us to meet God’s needs? That’s impossible, because God has no needs. Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served b
