This Isn't A Love Story This Is A Story About Love
I am a part of AACF UCR. Attend Sandals Church in Riverside and Higher Vision Church in Santa Clarita.
Welcome to my outreach and prayer blog :)
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. Ephesians 6:18-19
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16
I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. Ecclesiastes 3:12
If love was a storybook. We would meet on the very first page.
-God

To all my brothers and sisters in Christ. To me you are like my family and many of you have been so kind with your messages and your posts show me how dedicated you all are to serving God. I get new followers each day and I always try to be consistent in quality posts every day. I pray for all of you each night and it definitely has been a blessing being able to serve you all and talk to many of you. If you were all here I would give each one of you a hug. Hope this brightens up your day :)

God loves you so much......
That every morning when you wake up God would leave you not only a text with encouraging passages from His Word and messages, but also call you so you could hear His voice saying “You are special to me, I will always love you first and you are perfect just the way you are”. Then visit you every morning just so you can run into His open arms and God will say, “I will be with you…….Always and Forever”. And God would do this every morning for us because that is how much He loves us.

"God doesn't have a Blackberry or iPhone, but He is my Favorite Contact. He doesn't have Facebook, but He is my Best Friend. He doesn't have Tumblr, but I follow Him. He doesn't have Internet, but I am connected to Him 24/7."
Let us all tear down the walls that keep God out of the picture so we can live lives dedicated to His will for us. By doing so it will allow us to not focus on things like beauty, fame, possessions, money, and the things that the world views as “good” but allow us to say “yes” to God when it comes to devoting our lives to serving others, missions, and living everyday by God’s Word. As God’s children we are called to be transformed by the spirit and see that there is more to this life than the things we see around us. Things in this life are only temporary, but a relationship with God will last forever. If there is someone you don’t know that needs prayer or needs God in their lives, do not be afraid to reach out to them, but remove all the barriers keeping you from doing so and remember to put others before yourself and God first and foremost.

God would like nothing more...
than for you to run to Him and say, “I can never thank you enough for all you have done for me and all the things that give myself and so many Christians hope. It is because of what You have done for me that I will devote my whole life to putting You first, glorifying, and seeking You out with all my heart. I may not be perfect and I do stumble, but I will always do my best to please You and NEVER stop loving and putting my trust in You. Lastly, I will be a light and encouragement for others and ALWAYS keep You and my brothers and sisters in Christ in my prayers and my heart.

Whether you know me or not, I pray that you will find something encouraging in my posts or a push in the right direction.
Called To Be Different
God I know that you exist, I’ve been told a thousand times
But my friends they all insist that the truth is just a lie
You see the lives that they all live seems like a party all the time
The temptations I resist, because it’s You I glorify
-Hawk Nelson: Your Love Is A Mystery
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2

God Centered Lifestyle
Fellowships and events should not be a place to hang out, but a place to worship and praise God. They should be centered around God and about building up the body of Christ.
Church should be a passion not an obligation; a place we can come together as a family and worship God as one body. A blessing to freely worship Him every Sunday and to hear God speak to us though the message.
Prayer is not only a time to express our wants and desires, but it is an intimate time between you and God, where you can give Him praise and also pray for others as well. That it is not just you speaking to Him, but also listening to what He has to say to you.
Worship is not an event to be heard or about the songs we sing, but a lifestyle centered on giving God our whole heart through joyful praises and thanksgiving. It is not about giving a great show, but about God being glorified in the place.
The bible should not be a chore or something we have to read, but it should be something we have a desire to read everyday. We should not just read what the bible says, but also be transformed by God’s word and live it out daily.

God Wants Us To Move.
Often times we become too comfortable and passive with our lives and there is no desire to reach out or step up. We need to be constantly challenged by God’s Word and through prayer so that we grow. We treat every day like we are watching from the stands at a baseball game; when the reality is as Christians, every day we are on the field for game day. Each new day is a new opportunity to serve God and to strengthen your relationship with Him. We don’t have to be the most passionate or wise to serve the Lord; He only wants the very best from us. Our victory is in God; His love and grace fueling our passion to serve and encouraging us through everything that comes our way. Being Christian = worship. So much more than just a once a day label; it requires spiritual movement and a committed lifestyle.

I Need To Learn To…
Be blessed and thank God for not only the good things in my life, but also the trials He puts me through, the temptations, the heartbreaks, and the obstacles in my life. It is so easy to be pleased with God when everything is going our way and we basically have it all. However, sometimes, God has to break us so we can rely on Him more rather than the things of this world. The ultimate test is for us to endure the struggles and pain as God continually builds us back up into a more Godly man or woman. You always praise God for something as small as your crush liking your status or pictures, but almost never thanking Him for bringing you through something big/challenging in your life such as heartbreak or a broken relationship. God uses every moment of your life to mold you into a stronger person. You may not be able to see it now, but the moments that build you up the most are the ones where God puts you through some sort of challenge that you need to rely on Him with every step. Whatever God puts us through is for His glory whether it may see it as good or bad. Learn to thank God for every moment whether it is big, small, easy or challenging. He has a reason for everything He does, so never lose hope and never give up.

Prayer Is Not A One Way Street
It is not only a time for us to present our desires, thanks, and burdens to Him, but to also have a receptive heart and listen to Him. This helps us better understand God and His will for us. How can you have an intimate relationship with God if you don’t allow Him to speak to you?
