Apart from You, I can do nothing.....
Lord God I need thee.
May I never get to the place where I believe the lie that I can accomplish anything on my own. May I stay connected to the Vine, you Christ Jesus for your word says that apart from You I can do nothing. Ladies as you walk worthy, walk knowing that with every step you take towards accomplishing the will of God in your life, never believe for a second that you can accomplish it on your own. Always be mindful that apart from God you can do nothing. Know that apart from him, God's will for your life will not be completed. You came to Christ in humility therefore continue to walk humbly, in reverence of Almighty God and he will take you and those 3 inch heels farther than your two feet can travel on their own! I love you ladies and remember to walk worthy!

$3.00 WORTH OF GOD, PLEASE
$3.00 WORTH OF GOD, PLEASE
Tim Hansel in his book "When I Relax I feel Guilty," writes some insights of what most people want from God.
"I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough of Him to make me love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please."
If we would be totally honest, the idea of transformation really scares us. That is because we know that such a radical change would be quite uncomfortable. We realize that with transformation comes a major overhaul of our lives and priorities.
