This is my first entry of my C-O-O-L journal.

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Boy oh boy do I have faults that I need to confess. I am also in need of much prayer. It's late for me now. Tomorrow I will start with Step one.

Welcome. God bless.

First of all I pray that the Holy Spirit shine brightly on the path that I am about to venture on. I pray that Jesus love me for who I am. I repent my sins. Thank you Jesus for dieing the cross in order to take away my sins. I pray that Jesus stays right here with me to help me stay focused on him. My precious Jesus stop my mind from wandering so that I may learn what I need to in order to serve you.

Psalms 62:5
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.

I pray that God will help me to be obedient. It is through him that I must give my entire life. I can't do it on my own. By relying on myself I end up on a perpetual destructive path. Only to sin over and over again. I am tired of trying by myself. Please Lord help me! I have good intentions but I always end up straying because I have become complacent in my ways even though they I am lead into total self destruction. Not to mention the people I have hurt and affected along the way.

I beg of you Lord please forgive me, make me whole, stop the demons that infiltrate my life. Show my what I need to do in order to serve you.

In Jesus' name AMEN!

Todays lesson taught me about the difference between doubt and faith. I am guilty! I raise my hand waving it frantically. THAT'S ME! I struggle with doubt every day. Sometimes every minute of the day. My main problem is that I have a little voice in my head telling me that I am not able to be forgiven for my sins. This leads to discouragement then I eventually give up trying. Talk about shootin' my nose off despite my face. I know that with God anything is possible. I know that Jesus died for my sins. I know that Jesus loves me unconditionally. Why can't I get a grip!!!!?????

Tomorrow I will focus on this concept somemore. No time to finish. Places to go, people to see.

Thank you Jesus for the insight!




Because of the limits that the world today, and we ourselves, have put on FAITH, we (without knowing sometimes, or willingness to admit it) reserve a little doubt deep inside. Doubt is the opposite of FAITH. That is enough to keep a miracle from happening immediately, or for that matter, from happening at all.
