Blessed Hope

I long for God's Word.. I can not stop longing for it. I guess it could be called "my drug". Like when an addict longs for their drug I long for Gods Word! I always have this "knot" in my stomach, and I think that will never go away until I am face to face with Christ. I am Redeeming the Time until He returns for His Children- (one of them being me). What an awesome day that will be my friends. How cool would it be to fall in love with some one who loves the Lord deeply, one who will help guide you and yall BOTH help each other learn and be so in love with each other and Christ that when it comes time to go to the other side of the crystal sea, yall can worship in heaven together as well. So it would be an eternity love, just different kind of love in Heaven. We dont know how that will be, but let me tell you this.. whatever it will be, will be awesome and right.

We have a blessed hope.

I am also very blessed to have a family I can worship in Heaven together with and friends as well.

Nothing can separate me from the Love of Christ-I am sealed by the Holy Spirt, written in the book of life. No man, not even me can take me away from His Hand. I can run, I can hide, I can not pick up the word for a million years and would still be one of his.That is how much He loves Ginny Dunaway. I would be very mediocre and very "child like" but I would still enter the gates of Heaven. But on the contrary, I want to learn so much about my Father and His love. I want to look at Jesus and say "Thank you for letting me see your Word Rightly Divided, and your Sovereignty." I would also like to meet Paul, and hear all of his stories of his message to us Gentiles today. I have alot to Look forward to.. A BLESSED HOPE!

So thankful

Redeemed by the Blood Of Christ

So Ole Miss Lost. BLAH. But that is ok, cant win every year I guess. They need to bring it better next year. State was in it to win it and played like they wanted it more. Still disappointing though

On a different note.. I was reading some Galatians today and loved what I learned in such a short read. I saw some key points in it by the help of Earnest Cambell commentary, and of course the Holy Spirit letting me understand. Here are some of Campbell's notes that I found awesome:In the first chapter, Verse 4: Paul affirms that Christ gave himself on behalf of our sins. He became our sin substitute. Also, the purpose for which Christ assumed our sins on Calvary was in order that He might deliver us out of the present evil age. The word age means a period of time (Satan is referred to the god of this age-satans world, 2 corinthians 4:4) . We have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, we have been rescued out of this present evil Satan Dominated age and have been made members of the Body of Christ-The church.

Those are just some of the notes of it. I am just so thankful for what Christ has done for me.. and for you.

"No person is an island by himself. What we are and have to share with others is dependent upon experience and many people. It is in the crucible of time that God keeps melting and remelting us to increasingly bring us unto the conformity to the literal teaching of His Word!"-Campbell

I pray for knowledge and wisdom of the truth. I pray that I will rightly divide the living Word. Let me see it in all of its glory.

Amen

Jesus Has my Heart

I have a heart for Christ (by His Grace). I am so in love with him.. But why do I fight against him sometimes? We fight against the sin nature we possess.. and the spiritual warfare around us.. It is like I want to learn as much as I can, but the effort I put in is very little. I pray that the Holy Spirit will bear witness with my human spirit and grace me with knowledge of the Living Word. I want to know you more, I want to see you more, and I want my actions to honor you. Convict me with the things that go against you. Let me see the errors of my ways. And lead me to your gracious arms. I love you more than life and can not wait until the day when I can look at you face to face. I pray I can enjoy life while I am here.. but pray you will use me to furthur your will and to learn more about the Gospel of the GRACE of God. Help me Lord to rightly divide your Word and really understand it.. and then the hard part... APPLY IT! I am studying Pauls epistles and will continue. What a blessing to be on the winning side. Thank you Father.

Thanksgiving

I had a great day today. I am so thankful for my family, my friends, my job, health, my freedom, and most of all.. I am thankful for Jesus dying for my Sins. What a blessing it is to be able to have freedom to worship Christ at anytime and anywhere. There is nothing like it. I sometimes take it for granted.

I pray for Callie Cole-for restoration.

~Saved By Grace~

Today was a good day. I found out yesterday afternoon I was sales rep of the month for October! I am so excited about it!

I am so ready for Thanksgiving. I will be in Brookhaven all weeeeeekk!! So ready to see the family, relax, and not work for one week! Friday night I am going out with the sis for her birthday and hopefully see "New Moon" on Saturday! Sunday is Saints football and the Operation Christmas Child party! The rest of the week is up in the air! I am busy busy.

On another note. Thank you Lord for helping me win sales rep of the month in Oct, and thank you for a beautiful day. I love to give thanks to Christ because He gives me so much..Grace.

Do you know what Grace means? Well here is a definition:In Christianity, grace is "unmerited favour" from God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Some other ways of looking at Grace...''Grace is not merely a part of the plan of redemption, but it is the silver cord that runs through every facet of the work of redemption.'Grace is entirely the work of God, unprompted by man, undeserved by man..' But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace (Romans 11:6).(Bible.org)

"Grace is not looking for good men whom it may approve, for it is not grace but mere justice to approve goodness. But it is looking for condemned, guilty, speechless and helpless men whom it may save, sanctify and glorify."(Bible.org)

It is either Grace or Not Grace. We are Saved by Grace Alone.

Thank you Lord for you Mercy, Love, and Grace. I could go on an on about this and I thank you for that as well! I Pray for Callie Cole.

Romans 8:28

There is so much hurt out there that as a Christian it makes me long for Heaven and hurt for everyone. Sometimes I feel like I am carrying the load of people because I care so much.

I know our main question when bad things happen is..."Why?" Where is God in all this hurt?

Well here is some encouragement.. Romans 8:28. You have to hold on to that with all of your might. Etch it into your Soul.

We do not have answers to the WHY questions. All we know is that God is a God of Love, He never said in His word that life is easy.. But he did say He would see you through the Storm. He will never put anything on you that you can not handle! You only have one life to fight the good fight and surrender your whole being to The Lord. One day there will be no more pain, no more cancer, no more divorce, no more theft, no more hurt, no more broken hearts. You have to walk to that finish line (I will be running)... you have to fight. Jesus fought for us, HE died for us. We deserve nothing, we deserve no blessings. But God, the God of love.. thought other wise. He saw that we could not be righteous so He sent His Son to die for us on a cross to be our righteousness. Now we have hope through Jesus Christ. And there is no death in Christ. There is only Hope. Yes your body will decay.. but your Soul lives on for eternity. Keep fighting. Never give up. Oh.. and BE THANKFUL for everything you have and pray without ceasing.

If you are going through something today that hurts..My advice is to find God in this storm, get on your knees.. ask for help. He will not abandon His children. Also if you need anyone to pray for you. Please let me know. I will be your prayer warrior.

~Yay For The Day~

Well the Presentation is OVER. Thank you all who prayed for me and your encouraging words.

I was strangely calm today and was excited about it oddly enough. When I woke up today I told myself..."Ginny.. you need to be thankful for this opportunity to speak to people about your company, you need to be thankful you have the legs to walk up there, the ears to hear them clap, the eyes to see the powerpoint, and the voice to speak.." Some people would never have this opportunity. And for some reason (God...duh) I was calm, excited, and thankful for this event I had to speak at. And it was a total success. We gained some business and I made great contacts. The Lord is good. I do not know how people get through life going through the motions. The Lord never changes, He is always faithful, and Loves me so much. So I need to thank Him. Thank you Lord!

Now I can relax and eat with friends. And then tomorrow I have Church and SAINTS GAME DAY! Whoo Hoo. I hope we win. I know we will. Who dat? Brees Dat!

I am so thankful for the life I live. I am single by Gods grace, sometimes that is hard but all who know me I will not settle, I will wait for my soulmate I get to learn more about Christ everyday and use this time for Him and I, I have great friends by Gods grace, I have an amazing family by Gods grace. I could go on and on.

I am just so happy. Have a great day. Pray for Callie Cole- to WAKE UP!

600 PEOPLE??

Today is another beauty. Even though I am nervous about my 600 people presentation tomorrow I can still soak in the pretty day!

On that note PLEASE pray for me tomorrow that I will let God take over my nerves and be able to stay calm and confident during the presentation. I am ready for it to be over. Once it is over I am heading over to my friend Jennifer and Nicole's house and going out to eat for dinner and wine to celebrate it being over! I love Pinot Grigio wine- I think Bluepoint in Destin made me love it.

Random: I went to Office Depot today to buy something for work and the guy asked me what I was looking for. I told him, and he said please go back to the left back wall and a guy will assist you. So I was like.. well heck yeah that is awesome service. So as I was walking I heard him on his walkie talkie.."Someone please meet a girl in the back and assist her.. She has a white top on, black pants, and brown hair." I wanted to be like Excuse me!!? My hair is red. The people that know me.. That is a sore subject because I LOVE MY HAIR and people are telling me more and more that it looks brown :( So I almost fought him. BUT decided not too.. Because what kind of lady would that be right?? My fighting days are over haha

Well anyway I hope you all have a glorious day. Thank you Lord for my encouraging prayer warrior family and friends. What would I do without them?

~Fall~

I love the Fall for many reasons, but here is few:

1. Football season

2. The amazing weather-crisp and cool

3. Sweaters and boots

4. Fall colors are "my colors"

5. Holidays approaching

6. Warm coffee

7. The pretty leaves

8. Pumpkins

9. Family and friend gatherings. ( More excuses to have gatherings)

10. The smell of Fall Candles (ex. Pumpkin spice)

What I would do to be in my new photo on that bench under the big tree reading a book with an oversized sweater some Jessica Simpson boots on and some warm coffee and the sun on my face! That to me is a small part of heaven on earth :)

Have a great day.

~A Beauty Of a Day~

So Today I was listening to KLOVE and boom it hit me! I decided I wanted to host a little Operation Christmas Child Partay. What I mean by that is.. Everyone come with a box, wrapping paper and a specific filler. For example, one person can bring a box of small stuffed animals, and one can bring several bags of hard candy. Then we can all fill the boxes, wrap them and I can bring them back to my church here in Metairie, LA. And of course have a little wine and cookies! :)

I just think if I could even get a few people to do it with me that it would be a success. This is a great oppurtunity for someone to share the Love of Jesus to Children across the world. Where there may be a barrier up, this might help break the barrier where they can speak to them about the living Lord! WHO would not love toys?? I still do and I am 25. hmmm.

Well we will see how it works out.

Other than that. Thank goodness for good weather today. I love working in great weather!
