Realize that when you put your faith in Jesus Christ, there can be no holding back. Your will must hand God its letter of resignation. For unless you submit to God's will in everything, you are not submitting to Him in anything. Think about it. If you only follow God's will when it happens to correspond to your own will, then you never have to surrender at all. You are simply asking God to endorse your own agenda as often as He can. But if you want new life in Christ, you must adopt God's agenda and throw away your own.

"Special Prayer Request For Jayce"
 
 
Jayce was born on May 11, 2006 at 27 weeks. On June 9th he started showing symptoms of NEC. June 11th, Jayce had surgery. They took out 3/4 of the small intestine.
On Aug 23rd, Jayce came home. He required home-health nurses 7days a week.
On Oct 19th Jayce was admitted  because of an infection. He had surgery on Oct 27th to reconnect his intestines, but on Nov 6th they found that it didn't work, and he was leaking into his tummy. So, they had to go back in & take his intestines back apart.
January 9th he was moved to Childrens Hospital & remains there to this day.
To date Jayce has had 15 surgeries & still possibly more to come. So far there is no word as to when he will be able to come out of the hospital.
Jayce is back in ICU as of May 3rd.
Jayce has since had more surgery and is so far still in ICU.
Please keep Jayce in prayer and also the rest of the family as this has been a very hard time for them.
Thank You for taking time to read this and for your prayers for Jayce.

"Love In The Home"
 
If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its
place, but have not love, I am a housekeeper - not a homemaker.
If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements,
but have not love, my children learn cleanliness - not godliness.
 
Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh.
Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.
Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk.
Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.
 
Love is present through the trials.
Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive.
Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the
child, then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood.
Love is the key that opens salvation's message to a child's heart.
 
Before I became a mother I took glory in my house of perfection.
Now I glory in God's perfection of my child. As a mother, there is
much I must teach my child, but the greatest of all is love.
 
"Take Time"
 
 
Take time to Work... It is the price of success.
Take time to Think... It is the source of power.
Take time to Play... It is the secret of youth.
Take time to Read... It is the foundation of knowledge.
Take time to Worship... It is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of earth from our eyes.
Take time to Help and Enjoy Friends... It is the source of happiness.
Take time to Love... It is the one sacrament of life.
Take time to Dream... It hitches the soul to the stars.
Take time to Laugh... It is the singing that helps with life's loads.
Take time to Plan... It is the secret of being able to have time to take time for the first 9 things.
