7 Day Wake Up Journey. Part 1
The world needs to start waking up and realizing that there are people in this world that suffer for God. Realizing that we need to help them and have a stronger deeper passion for God.
Psalm 57
Read. 4"I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts-men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords." Some of us know how that feel like. The rest of us including myself do not know how that feels. We have never been persecuted for our faith. We just sit in the same seat every week listening to our sermon. Many of us have walked out of church offended. We have prayer request time which in reality is gossip circle. We have paintings, sculptures, robes, flowers, chandeliers, and many other features that adorn our churches. We don't really know the hard side of Christianity.
I would like to share a few quotes from you from a book called Revolution In World Missions by K.P. Yohannan. Actually after this 7 day study we will be doing a study on this book. So I would encourage you to buy it or get it free from this Website. http://www.gfa.org/offer/freebook-b/
"How can a Christian keep silent?" he asked. "How can a church go underground? Jesus died openly for us. He did not try to hide on the way to the cross. We also must speak out boldly for Him regardless of the consequences."
"God did not shower such great blessing on this nation for the Christians to live in extravagance,self-indulgence and spiritual weakness."
There it is plain and simple. Clear as mud. Yet will you do anything about it? Will you change the world? Will you get off you high throne and go spread Gods word?

Soul Surfer!
“I could never have embraced this many people with two arms.”
I'm sure we have all heard of this movie. Most of us just thought oh its another one of "those" movies. But its not. It is really good. I teaches you good things. I'll take you on a little journey through it's amazing quotes. I hope you will feel led to watch it.
“I don’t need easy. I just need possible.”
Most of the time in our lives we look for easy. We search for the easy way out. Most of the time there are easy ways out. But sometimes there aren't. Whether or not there is an easy way out, it does NOT help you grow in your life. All we truly need in life is a possible way.(Whether easy or hard)
“Love is bigger than any tidal wave or fear.”
LOVE truly is bigger. Because GOD IS LOVE! 1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
“Compassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.”
We never really try to feel compassion. If it makes us cry we will go hide it or go away from that situation. I believe it scares us. We are sure how to feel it. We this is is sympathy or empathy. But what is it really? Compassion-Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.
“I could never have embraced this many people with two arms.”
Sometimes we have to loose something to realize how much we can really do.
The Book Soul Surfer.
-I believe in God. I don't mean that I believe in Him like a person might believe in, say, gravity or the sun coming up in the morning. Those are just facts that don't mean anything. I mean I REALLY believe in God.
-The paramedic whispered in my ear "God will never leave you or forsake you."
-God did have something bigger planned for me. What we all needed to do was trust... and believe
-My friend Sarah says that I get to be the voice of God. I usually roll my eyes when she says it, because if I were God, I would never have chosen me of all people to speak for him.
-I think that if I can help other people find hope in God, then that is worth losing my arm for.

My Love Story! Part 3:)
The next morning Beth woke to find herself lying on her husbands lap in front of the dieing fire as the sun rose over the sand duns. Jack was asleep with his arm around her. She stood up and went to the window, looked out and saw a little shepherd there grazing his sheep about ninety feet from the house. The boy look young and frail a little tired but he burned for some excitement inside.
Beth ran back and got dressed in a royal blue satin gown with gold buttons. As she walked out of the room her gown flowed along with her. She opened the door and the breeze blew in she walked out to the little boy.
“Hi, I am Beth potter I live in the house over there and I was wondering if you watched some goats.”
“Yeah I look after a few goats. Let me guess you want milk well I am sorry that is all the food I get while I am on the job so no.” said the little boy in an evil tone.
“Oh I do not want to take from you I want to trade maybe milk for some ham and bread.”
“Really you would do that for me?”
“Yes, I would I want milk you need food. How old are anyway?”
“I am thirteen years old my name is Colton Jackson but every one calls me Cole. I work for Gregory Smith a mean old man.”
“Well nice to meet you Cole.” She put her hand out for him to shake and he did. “So it is a deal?”
“Yes, I think it is.”
“I will go get a bucket and then make you some food.”
Beth briskly walked over to the house grabbed a bucket and took it to the boy. By this time Jack was up and in the back. Beth started heating some bread and ham over the fire witch she reignited. Jack slowly walked out and sat on the couch as he put on his leather boots.
“Beth you understand that I will need to go in town and do my job that means you will stay here or walk to town,” Said Jack.
“Yes Jack I understand. I will be fine. Maybe I will bring you lunch and go visit Jeremy,” said Beth.
“Sweetheart that sounds nice. Be careful and go see your parents they want to see you I bet.”
“Jack that is smart I will go see my parents.”
“Why are you making ham and bread it is seven in the morning?”
“Well I am making a trade with the shepherd boy out I give him meet and bread for some milk.”
“Well ok I best get going I will be back as soon as my jobs are done.”
Jack left the house and Beth finished cooking the ham and bread. She rolled it up in a cloth and took it out to Cole. He gave her the milk and thanked her. Beth walked in the house knowing that she felt uncontrollably unsafe and scared. The house creaked and the wind blew.
Beth decided to go to town where she thought she would feel safer. She rode one of Jack’s fine horses. The horse was black and beautiful. She enjoyed her ride to town. Then she got to town.
Beth walked off to “Old Bills Outdoor York” where you could buy outdoor furniture and supplies. There she bought five packs of twenty seeds for squash, peppers, corn, black eye peas, beets, and radishes. Then she got a lemon tree and rosemary plant all she had left was twenty five cents which she spent over at Bells Food on peppermint candy.
After her shopping she went over to the New York dress shop to talk to Jeremy. She walked in to see him drawing a design for a beautiful wedding dress. The dress was off-white with a corset front. The waist was low and in the back was a bow.
“Hey Jerr, I love the dress. For some one special?”
“No not really just another design for a young lady not marrying me.”
“I am sorry for you romantic difficulties but I was wondering if you could make that dress for me and Jack’s wedding?” Beth said with a smile.
“Yeah I guess I could. I thought ya’ll were married. Is there something you need to tall me my little Bethy?”
“No but if there was why would I tell you? We are by the justice of the peace but I want to have a ceremony and make it a surprise to jack.”
“Well I might be able to pull a few strings to get it for you at a low cost.”
“Oh that would be great thank you. Do you know anything about a Shepard boy named Cole?”
“His parents moved away and could not afford to take him so they left him with a big sheep owner to work for free milk and warm clothes.”
“I can not believe people could do that to a little boy. What does he eat?”’
“Mostly milk and bugs or wild plants. He has a lot of spunk.”
“Wow that is sad. Well I need to go see my parents. Bye Jeremy.”
Beth ran back and got dressed in a royal blue satin gown with gold buttons. As she walked out of the room her gown flowed along with her. She opened the door and the breeze blew in she walked out to the little boy.
“Hi, I am Beth potter I live in the house over there and I was wondering if you watched some goats.”
