Remembering today, those who gave their lives for

Remembering today, those who gave their lives for others in the line of duty and those they left behind. 😔 🙏🏻 🇺🇸⁠⠀

Good morning!⁠ ⁠ It's been a while since I hav

Good morning!⁠ ⁠ It's been a while since I have taken the time to introduce myself and I see there are a lot of new faces around here lately. ⁠ ⁠ I'm Kristie.⁠ ⁠ I grew up in Detroit. All I ever knew was city life. ⁠ ⁠ I was born to a single teen mom and grew up in poverty. Everyone around me lived the same way and I just assumed this was how it was for people like me. It was my lot in life and there was no real way to change it. ⁠ ⁠ Thankfully I married someone just like me and we both got the crazy idea that we didn't have to accept the status quo. ⁠ ⁠ We did everything we could to change the predestined course that was set for us the day we were born.⁠ ⁠ One day my husband and I decided to try something different than either of us had ever known. So we made the move about an hour outside the city, to a home we found with a little bit of land and water. ⁠ ⁠ People thought we were crazy when we moved into our dilapidated house, without floors, a functioning heat or water system or working bathrooms. (One bathroom did work, so did the kitchen sink)⁠ ⁠ We were crazy. Just crazy enough to believe we could do it, and we did!⁠ ⁠ We have spent the last ten years fixing up the broken down house we got for a bargain price. Making it our dream home. ⁠ ⁠ This past week we bought our house for the second time. ⁠ ⁠ We took advantage of the record low interest rates, and contacted our mortgage company to see if we could refinance and save some of our money.⁠ ⁠ To our surprise we were able to get a 15 year mortgage with a 2.875% interest (our previous rate was 5.25%)⁠ ⁠ We are paying $21 more a month BUT we shaved off 6 years from our loan and about $60,000!!!⁠ ⁠ That is $60,000 that we get to keep in our pocket. ⁠ ⁠ Interesting fact...we paid $65,000 for our first home. ⁠ ⁠ We love the home we have made here and I am so thankful to be able to have a fully paid off home in 15 years....OR LESS!⁠ ⁠ Our new goal is to see how fast we can pay off the loan, putting every extra penny we can towards our payments each month. ⁠ ⁠ DREAM BIG!⁠ ⁠ But then take the steps and make the sacrifices you need to make those dreams come true. One small step, one small change at a time. ⁠

Sharing one Christ followers thoughts on conspirac

Sharing one Christ followers thoughts on conspiracy theories: It may shock some of you to find out that I’m not here to debunk the conspiracy theories that are swirling around social media right now but to acknowledge that there may be some truth found in many of them. I simply have one question to ask of us all – even if these theories are actually true, how then should we live as believers? If China is trying to kill us all, how then should we live? If the deep state is stomping on our freedom, how then should we live? If 5G is the real source of the coronavirus, how then should we live? If the democrats are just trying to get rid of the President and/or he is trying to cancel the election & set up a dictatorship, how then should we live? If coronavirus isn’t real & all of this is being made up to silence the church, how then should we live? If _____, how then should we live? 1. Be a Christ follower – You can’t experience life the way that God intended unless you follow in Jesus’ footsteps. (He never got involved with the controversy of the day but always kept His eyes on the prize of the establishment of the Kingdom of God). We should be people who practice the disciplines of grace like Jesus did such as prayer & the Word of God. We must keep our eyes on the prize. (Luke 9:23-24) 2. Realize that our real enemy is not people – It's completely normal to try and play the blame game and figure out what is going on around us, but is it advantageous? Remember one of the enemy’s greatest tricks is distraction. (Eph 6:12 & 1 Pet. 5:8) 3. Live like we believe that Jesus is the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords – Nothing takes Him by surprise. He isn’t worried about the present condition of things. He sees everything from an eternal vantage point & what we want in our particular moment of crisis may not be what is best for the ultimate purpose of God. (Rev. 11:15 & Psalm 20:7) 4. Occupy ourselves with spreading the Gospel instead of gossip – It is amazing how we tend to spend so much time espousing things that may or may not be true but so little time on what we know is absolutely true & will truly transform lives. (Acts 1:6-11) Credit: Tyler Lynde
