Day 21- You Crossed the Finish Line!

Daily Reading: Fasting Purposes Isaiah 58:6-9

Challenge 21: Make dinner for someone else

Prayer Target: Courage to step out, do the impossible, and be in God’s perfect will for our lives.

Today, I can’t help but to relfect on last night’s  Good Friday service.

The presence of God was so sweet. You could sense a spirit of gratitude and worship unto God for sending His Son to die on the cross. It was amazing! Then our Pastor came and shared a message from his heart on Forgiveness and becoming more like Jesus, Loving like Jesus, Working like Jesus, and Forgiving like Jesus.

 

More Like Jesus

Let us be more like Jesus
In everything we do;
Let’s live a life of service,
A life that’s fresh and new.

Let’s relinquish worldly things,
And not be slaves to fashion;
Let’s fill our hearts with love,
Forgiveness and compassion.

Yes, let’s be more like Jesus,
Being always in God’s will,
For if Jesus’ light shines through us,
Our earthly purpose we’ll fulfill.

 

Let’s strive to be more like Jesus and make the gospel attractive.

Today the call is going out for someone to stand in the gap!  VOSD Ladies have answered that call during these last 20 days and NOW we are those stretcher bearer’s for others.

Today we want to acknowledge our stretcher bearer’s:

“Where to begin…I have many people to thank.  First my personal Lord and Savior, my two beautiful boys and my little sister Destiny.  There’s something about those who believe in you and encourage you that God REALLY does have a Purpose for your life.  I felt loved and encouraged from the Gomez Family, Sister Ana, for discipling me, Sister Georgina for inspiring me and many more. - Angelica Deanda, Kidz Gang Destiny Shaper

“I appreciate my mom and dad so much because they work so hard for me and my brother’s and sisters to have a better life then they had.  They provide everything we need like groceries, school supplies, clothes, and more.  One day I’ll be able to bless them back because they’ve been a blessing to me.” – Joclyn Del Rosario, Gang Girl 12 years old   

   I am truley grateful for my mom & dad.  They prayed me in.  My sister, who always lived by example how a TRUE Christian should live.  My brother who NEVER gave up on me. My Aunt Kathy Heredia who discipled me to be a Passionate person.  And my pastors, Pastor Al & Georgina Valdez, they invested in my life in 2004 at the UTC and never knew God would bring me to their City. And last but not least, my husband, Pastor Aldo Arguello, thanks babe for just being you, because you are incrediable! xoxo.” - Charlene Arguello, New Comers
