"Proverb, I'm gonna need that pop tart". WHAT????

As I wind down my thoughts from my Summer musicianary trip to Cambodia, I have to tell this story. I was talking with my boy Aaron Monrok the other day and I forget what made me think of it but I had a flash back. We were in the van on our way to some remote village. We had stopped so some of us could revolutionize (ask me by email lol). A few of the teammates were walking around and engaging the natives. I took the time to go back to the van and have a snack. We were encouraged to bring stuff from home to help with being so far away from home, and nothing does that like...... a Pop Tart! So I got to the back seat of the van and was digging my pop tart out of my bag when team member Mike Kultun came to our van. He was saying how they just met and prayed with this woman. Meanwhile I was hearing but not really listening to Mike talking. I was all into how good my pop tart was gonna be. As Mike continued on, I found my Pop Tarts and got them out of my bag. No sooner than I had opened them and raised one to my waiting mouth when I hear the words " "Proverb, we're gonna need those pop tarts"! Surely Mike had no idea what he was saying. Surely he knew you don't try to separate a man and his pop tart, especially this man. Mike was buggin! My response was "What"!!?? He repeated his statement like was actually gonna give him my snack. Then it hit me. What a display of selfishness. How did I look to a van full of missionaries? It was just one pop tart, I had more. The sad part was I was encouraged by most teammates to hold on to it, as it was mine and I brought it from home for me. As conviction buckled me in the back seat of the van, I offered up my Pop Tart. I realized that was a small price to pay for being on such a great adventure with God. Then the greatest thing happened as I offered it up, some more food from another van was miraculously provided. I felt like Abraham when he saw the ram. My pop tart had been spared! Well, you get the picture. Anyways, the point is every day we will get tested. The question we have to ask our self is..... When asked to, will we give up our pop tart?

Bibles & Cellphones Can You Hear Me Now?

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
What if we used it to communicate with others?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Oh, and no worries about dropped calls! Makes you stop and think, where are our priorities?

For all of my smart phone heads out there (Blackberry rules), do your self a favor and get a Bible app for your phone that way the scriptures can be on your phone at you access. If we treated God's word like our cellys we would be communicating with Him a lot more than we are right now!

Prayer For Our President Elect

Dear God, I pray for optimum health, wisdom, mental clarity and political prosperity for Barack Obama. I also pray for protection for him and his family, as he seeks to become the President of the United States ! Give him the ability to pray the way You want him to pray; give him the ability to lead with Your heart; give him hearing ears to listen to You as You speak to him. Surround him with men and women who have his best interest and the best interest of this country at heart. Lord, please expose any plot or plan of darkness that would seek to sabotage Barack Obama or do him harm in any way. I join my prayers with the millions of people around the country who sincerely want a change in our government. We ask, Lord, that you surround him with angels that would war on his behalf against anything evil. Give him strength when he feels weak! In Jesus' name,  AMEN.

This is not from me but I thought it was most definately post worthy!
As Christians, we should be praying for our leaders. As Christians who did not vote for or support President-elect Obama, we should definately be praying not condeming the man that God through the voice of americans everywhere has put in charge of our country.
Pray up or shut up(harsh huh?)!
