We are Gods masterpiece!

Hey Mighty Warriors! How was your week? Was it busy? Did the week feel like it would go on forever? Anyway's this blog update is going to be about us and how we are Gods masterpiece. So lets start from the beginning actually lets go back even farther to when we were in our mothers womb. God knew us even then. He knew what you were going to look like, he knew what personality you were going to have. In fact He knows every hair thats on top of your head. What do you think of that? God creaated you. God designed you. To put you in even more awe....you....YOU are Gods MASTERPIECE! He is proud to call you His son/daughter! He rejoices over you! Now maybe for some your thinking "I can't see myself being a masterpiece" Maybe for some of you your thinking "I am broken and I am unfixable" Can I tell you something. You are made new in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! There is nothing that God can't fix and make new. There is nothing to bad for God to forgive. God sent His son to this earth to forgive the unforgiveable, love the unlovable and fix the unfixable....you are made new and you are redeemed by the blood of your Mighty Savior Jesus Christ. if you read this and don't remember anything remember this....GOD DOESN'T MAKE JUNK! His love for you has no boundaries. Another verse comes from Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. YOU ARE GODS MASTERPIECE! When I hear this verse I imagine me hanging on the wall of a famous museum (like the mona lisa) popular piece of art! When you go into a museum you look at all the cool art that people create and you think "WOW" what beautiful art...thats what God thinks of us. He is in awe of us. Now I was trying to find a song that would fit this blog update and I think I have a good one because it happens to be one of my favorites. Its by a band named Gungor-Beautiful Things Enjoy! While you listen to this song soak in the words. My favorite line out of this whole song is this. "You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of the dust. You make beautiful things,You make beautiful things out of us!!!"
 He is in awe of his creation and how He created you. He loves you for you. Your unique and special self. Blessings to all you Mighty Warriors out there. Have a safe and blessed weekend.

In honor of Jan Vande Voort 1/27/2014

Hey Mighty Warriors how y'all doing? I hope you guys have had a great week! So I want this blog update to be in honor of my loving and caring aunt who passed away from cancer on January 27, 2014!
Jan was a great lady,mother ,grandmother,sister,aunt, friend, teacher and much more! The things she loved to do. She had a smile that would light up the room! Jan loved her family very much and even though shes gone she hasnt really left...because she remains in the hearts of many FOREVER! Jan later in life started the battle against cancer. At first it was found in her lungs but the doctors were able to catch it and get rid of it. Than it was found this past Thanksgiving she had cancerous cells on her brain. Doctors did treatment but in the end Jan overcame the cancer but with that she left her earthy home and went to her heavenly home for eternity. Where there is no cancer, there is no pain, there is no death! There is nothing but love and freedom and a life everlasting with the one true and mighty savior! Jan knew that she inspired so many people. I remember when I went to go visit Jan in the hospital the day before her last treatment for her cancer. I remember her and my mom talked and I will never forget helping her get resituated in her bed to make her more comfortable! Jan also told me that I was a mighty warrior. She actually read that from a hat that I was wearing that day and I remember I told her "You are too Jan" we all are. I want you to know if your reading this you also are a mighty warrior! You are a mighty warrior for Christ. Jan was a strong and faithful believer and that is what is for me so inspiring also for others as well. A week before she passed my sister and my mom went to hospice to visit her. At the time we didn't know when she was going to go. My aunt said to us that " You know I am going to get up and I am going to walk out of her and I am going to get through this. Now I was like "Whoah" Thats being positive in a very hard situation because my mom always told me your attitude goes a long ways. When Jan said that it just inspired me more. Because when your in a place like hospice thats a place where doctors just make you comfortable and some people walk out and some people dont. Jan was positive she reflected the positive light on such a dark situation like cancer. One thing I want everyone to take away from this update is inspiration. The impact you make on others can change there day/week! If your about to walk into a football game with some friends and you see a family behind you and they have there hands full hold the door open for them. Or help a neighbor with the yard work, just smile at someone as they pass you along. Those small gestures that you do to someone else can just change their day. One more thing before I wrap up this blog update. Life is a journey but its a quick journey. We don't realize have fast this journey really is. In the blink of an eye this life is over. We aren't guarenteed tomorrow, we aren't guaranteed the next 2 hours of our life. What I am trying to say is make the most of it. Live the now! Right now is what matters. When you say goodbye to someone like "see ya later" we arent guarenteed that quote. We dont know if we will see them later. I remember I said that to Jan before I left her room I said "See ya later Jan" That quote will only come true when I am called home to meet my Savior! Do hear what I am saying?  Each one of you have in some way inspired someone. Keep it up! I want to end this blog update with 2 special songs! That I want to dedicate to Jan! The first song is called "I still miss you" By Hawk Nelson
The second song is called "Favorite Flowers" by Luke Bryan!
Blessings to all you Mighty Warriors out there!
