In Memory of Robert W. Basehore


Just a year ago you went to heaven. I miss you alot but I know you are dancing with the angels. I remember that day I came home from my trip and my dad looked worried I could tell something was wrong. I remember when I found out my sun in my world seemed to go black. I remember that night my food tasted like dirt. I remember that gut feeling like is this really happening. Then I remember saying my last goodbye to you and telling you that I loved you. And you had very little strength but you whispered I love you too. I won't ever forget those memories of you and I will always remember all the summer times we went to visit you. Let us not mourn when we think of you but be joyous. For great is your reward in heaven. Soon we shall be reunited and we will dance with the angels. Jesus called you home for eternity. More than 91 years on this earth. You will forever be in our hearts and we will remember your wisdom and your love. Nobody was a better Grandpa than you. We all miss you and know you are in a better place. Love you grandpa :)

On Jesus Time


Time it seems to either go fast or slow depending on what day it is. It is something us humans love being in control of. In the end it seems we never have enough time. Being in control of what happens every day in my opinion it pleases us. Because when we have control we feel comfort and security. But how come we never trust God with that time or say God lets see what you can do in the next day or week. We as Christians or people called to follow Jesus really need to start trusting Him with each hour and each day. When we try to control every situation something usually always goes wrong but why don't we be spontaneous for once and just try something new called trusting God. GOD IS IN CONTROL not us so many times we wanna prove to God that we are strong and we can do this but really God wants to prove to us that He can control the situation. If God created the heaven and the earth then he most certainly can control the situations in our life. Time is created by God and what are you using your time on?

A Passion For His Name


A passion for him that is what has been on my heart lately is so so in love with jesus. Why do we keep holding back from giving God are all? Tuesday night a revelation came to me. I was sitting in the back of the prayer room and in the prayer room there is a life size cross. Well I saw Jesus on that cross and he lifted his head up and kept repeating to me that I love you and I forgive you. Sometimes I just can weep over the fact that Jesus gave up his all so that we could be with him. Dirty sinners sitting as a heir of God. This has just wrecked me that past couple of day s that God so desires to be with us to just soak up our hearts. Jesus and his love cover all of our sin. He reaches his arms out for us his arms are wide open all we need to do is just let EVERYTHING go and climb right in his arms. WE are safe in our daddy's arms he hasn't ever hurt us or left us or stopped caring. In fact right now as we speak Jesus is INTERCEDING for us even though he knows the storms in your life the hard situations will work out for the good he is still praying for you. He loves you and all he wants from you is your heart. Jesus is saying to you I love you and I forgive you what will your next step be?

Shattered Glass


Broken bruised hurt, torn shattered rejected, I am sure all of us have felt at least one of these descriptive words. Brokenness hurts and it shatters our hearts but there is a healer. Being broken it feels like nobody is there and life is hard to put together but it isn't in our hand to put life back together it is Jesus's duty. When we give him all of our broken pieces he makes a master piece out of them. He turns the ugly into beautiful. He picks up all the pieces and puts them back together so perfectly. I was on a walk the other day and I came to a pile of broken glass it made me think that out of anger somebody prolly threw that bottle on the ground and it shattered. Well isn't that what we do so many times is get angry at our brokenness our hurt our pain and just say we are done? But really what we need to do is just give it all to God. He will make it phenomenally better. He hears our cries and he is right there with you. And also something that just came to my mind is this song verse "in the place of suffering there is a GOD worth worshiping." Worship is the greatest weapon against brokenness because it takes a whole lot of guts to stand up to the pain and say no my God is bigger and he deserves all my praise. No matter what season you are in God is still good and we have a reason to worship him. Seasons come and go brokenness comes and go but our God remains and he is a healer and a supporter. He know all about pain but he knows more about his love. His love will mend together all hurt and pain and in the end he does WORK EVERYTHING OUT FOR THE GOOD. Well that is all I guess I have to say. God bless.
