Never Fail

Wouldn't that be great to know that you could "never fail"? Most of us, including me, are afraid of trying new things, especially if we think that we might fail. I have done so many things these last two years out of shear nessesity that I have lost count. That must be one of the reasons that the Lord allows these trials. I don't think most of us would even try new things if we didn't have to. I have learned that my mind needs to stay on the REASON for my life. It is not that I never have problems, or never fall short in something. It is getting up every morning and telling Him that this day is His and I am living it with Him and for Him. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. At the end of the day, I thank Him for all the good things of the day and release to Him the things I am trying to be concerned about. I seem to need a plan to keep me on track. The plan comes in my quiet time in the morning. Today's plan from the NIV is from 2Peter 1:3-11. " His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us VERY GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES..........Make every effort to add to your faith goodness and to goodness, knowledge, and to knowledge, self-control and to self-control, perseverance and to perseverance godliness and to godliness brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness love."....... And guess what!!!!! ......" If you do these things YOU WILL NEVER FALL" or FAIL. What a great promise. All I have to do is try these things, ask forgiveness when I fall short. The grace of my Daddy, picks me up and I hear Him tell me "Well Done." I say to you all who are working on your life of faith, "Well Done" Great will be your reward.

I love you all,
Mom, Nana, Jennifer

Resurrection Day

This is the day 2 years ago that our beloved husband, father and friend went into the arms of His Father and His Lord and friend, Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit that lived mightily in Billy Crain. We are missing him but convinced that we will see Him again. For us (His Family) we have the force of gravity that grounds us to this earth but we also have a Glory that defines us. I personally am trying to walk more in this Glory. Even this I can't do by myself. I pray for patience and courage to wait. Wait to see Jesus and my Heavenly Father: Wait to see Billy and wait to see others that have gone before. There is work to be done. Others need to know Jesus like Billy does. Others need that intimacy with the Lord that Billy walked in, showed us and told us. He blessed our family over and over. We can't lose the blessing that our husband and father spoke over us. May our spirits let go more and more of this gravity ( this holding our thoughts and feelings to things of earth). May our minds, thoughts and emotions hope, obey, wait and love. I believe God gave Billy and I both natural and adopted "children" who are going to follow in our spiritual paths. You all will be blessed like in Isaiah 61:9 " Then their offspring will be known among the nations. And their descendants in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them Because they are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed. I love you, Jennifer, Mom, Nana
