...When Christ died on the cross, His last words were, &ldquo;It is finished!&rdquo; 

...They either do not pursue them or ditch the effort partway through.    These might be such everyday goals as getting straight A&rsquo;s or landing a great job after college.    Or, the focus maybe on the spiritual areas of your life, such as quitting a bad habit or rededicating your life to God.  


I know for myself, I enjoy setting goals and I post them where I see them daily.    It helps me so that if I am tempted to waver, I let God re-stimulate me to keep on instead of giving up.    If we read Phillippians 3:12, we see that Paul was determined not to quit on God.    He had his eye on the prize, which was towards Jesus.    Paul was off and running and he was not about to turn back.  


Enclosed in this newsletter, I wanted to share the goal that I will attain the end of this month.    Yes, I will graduate from Praise Christian High School, and I have also completed 30 semester hours at Regent University this year as well.    It has been a plate-full with classes from both high school and college, but God is always faithful to allow us to finish the race that we are in.  


...Each of you have been there for me and for the most part have watched me grow up.    I covet your prayers as a continue the race of achieving a B.A. degree in Communications from Regent University.    Also, this invitation does NOT mean that I desire any type of gift, this invitation is to share with you the race that I have started and one that I will achieved within a few years!

Growing up being a full time missionary with my parents has molded me into a professional when it comes to packing for the adventure ahead.   You never know what the weather will be like or what events you will stumble upon, you must always be prepared.


As much as we travel, you would think that everyone in my household is a pro or &ldquo;expert packer&rdquo; like myself, however, that is far from the truth.   My dad would rank up there as the worst packer you will ever meet. ...  It was then, that I came up with a list on how to help him pack successfully.  


...As I wrote out this list and handed it to my dad to help him not make the same mistake again when packing, I realized that the list had a two-fold meaning.   All of us, even myself, have made a list for the coming New Year.   It is commonly known as a &ldquo;New Years Resolution List.&rdquo;   For many, this self-made list has haunted the start of our New Year.   Each year we write down seemingly unattainable goals that we plan to complete, but never do.   Writing out a Resolution List that is full of objectives is similar to me writing out a list on how to pack the perfect suitcase.   My list is written to ensure that I will make the most of my travel space and the Resolution List is written so that we will make the most of our plans for the New Year.  

...Going into the New Year with new adventures before us, we cannot be unprepared like my dad was by bringing too many unnecessary items. ...  We must lay everything out and lose all of the nonessential baggage.   This coming year, you must try to stick to the list that you have made and then look ahead to see what you need.   Remember that the coming year will always have unexpected surprises and wonderful adventures. 


Not only will this Resolution List help you conquer the challenges that the New Year may hold, but it will also help you pack the perfect suitcase for your Holiday travels.   Who knows, if you follow the list that I have given, someday, you might even become an &ldquo;expert packer&rdquo; like myself.

I had planned to catch a few minutes of shut-eye, unfortunately, the window shade by my seat would not close and I found myself getting frustrated.   Trying to drift off to sleep was impossible because the sun was piercing through the unshaded window and straight into my eyes.   After a few moments, I gave up on the idea of sleep and opened up my textbook to read and hopefully pass the time.   Into a few minutes of my reading, my eyes needed to uncross and refocus and it was then that I decided to look out of the trouble causing window. ...  I could not open my eyes wide enough to grasp the wonder and majesty of this incredible and beautiful sight. ...  These peeks reach a height of over 12,000 feet and yet looking at them, they appeared as if I could hold them in the palm of my hand. 


...When we rise upon Gods wings and soar to a new level, we will see life's situations decrease and God increase.   Those things that seem to be overwhelming to us, will become a second thought because we are soaring with Him. ...  Therefore just as spectacular as those mountains are, YOU are just as breathtaking to Him.   In verse 30, it says that &ldquo;even the youths grow tired and weary.&rdquo;   As students, workers, parents, spouses, and friends we have many obligations in our life.   However, we do not need to grow weary in our well doing, but realize that God freely gives us strength and &ldquo;increases the power of the weak.&rdquo; (verse 29).


When we give our cares and concerns to God, we begin to look at life the same way I was looking out of the airplane&rsquo;s window, with joy!   Facing the large and consuming mountains of school, debt, and life&rsquo;s overall situations, they will seem to decrease into something inconsequential. ...  Often, it seems, that we have our life's binoculars turned around.   We all know that when you look into a pair of binoculars, everything becomes magnified.   However, when you turn them around, the same thing that was once huge, instantly, seems so small and far away.   It is time for us to turn life&rsquo;s binoculars around to see things the way God sees them, containable.   Life&rsquo;s issues and situations may appear to be monstrous in our everyday existence, but when we soar with Him, all things become possible. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Back To The Basics </title><dc:creator>h2hm@hotmail.com</dc:creator><category>devotional</category><dc:date>2009-10-01T22:35:56-05:00</dc:date><link>http://www.h2hm.org/h2hmb/michcorner/files/ef2d4bd07b58493a41ba3e4e104e5b72-10.php#unique-entry-id-10</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.h2hm.org/h2hmb/michcorner/files/ef2d4bd07b58493a41ba3e4e104e5b72-10.php#unique-entry-id-10</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[There&rsquo;s nothing like waking up in the morning and realizing that there is a whole new day awaiting you.   Hearing the birds sing and seeing the gentle glow of a sky warmed by a rising sun not yet visible is something I cherish. ...  My time there was the perfect place to remember God&rsquo;s meaning for creation and the simplicity of His love.   As much as you may try, you could not escape from getting back to the basics and falling in love with life again. 


Watching the tide roll in and the sun rise and set everyday was a reminder of God&rsquo;s mercy and grace for His people.   Getting back to the basics of life is what happened to me while I was in Leading Tickles. ...  However, it was the people who lived there that taught me about getting back to basics and how to enjoy life in a new way.


The people of Leading Tickles exemplified a hard work ethic and a love for their family and friends. ...  Although, they did not work on Sundays, they filled that day with family, friends, and most importantly God, I learned from them the essences of enjoying the simple things in life. 


...These are just a few of the sayings that we have heard, but never allowed to take place in our lives.   Getting back to the basics in life is often a forgotten thing, a pushed away dream that seems to never be obtainable.  


...I asked myself, if this feeling of simplicity that I stumbled upon was ever going to be felt again.   I knew that my time in Montreal was going to be extremely different then what I had became accustomed to while in Leading Tickles.   Seeing the congestion of the traffic, the noise of the bustling city, and looking from out of my hotel room window and seeing an industrial parkway instead of the tranquil ocean made my peace seem to leave. ...  Then suddenly, I realized, the same feeling of solitude that I had experienced in Newfoundland could also be obtained in the big city of Montreal. ...  No matter where you are, whether it be Leading Tickles, Montreal, or Virginia Beach, you can get back to the basics of life. 


The basics of life is finding your quiet place with God and then bringing yourself up to His level of strength and love.   As students, we can become set in our routine and not even realize that we are missing out on the &ldquo;little things&rdquo; in life. ...  When we realize that the basics of life can be ours, no matter where we are located, then we will excel in all that we do.   So take time to savor Gods creation and the many blessings that He has given to us as His children.

It is the foundation of all history with a Christian basis. 


...I was surprised to learn that the walls of Jericho were six feet six inches thick at the base and in some places twenty feet high.   As we all know, the walls were seemingly impenetrable, but with God all things are possible! 


    How many of us need some walls to come down?   We all need a new day with a clear path, but our walls are getting in the way.   At times our walls feel just as thick, if not thicker, then the walls of Jericho.   However, if we obey the clear guideline that God gave in Joshua 6:10-20, we will see our thick and high walls come tumbling down.   The bible gives us clear instruction on how to see breakthrough. 


(1) Stop Talking - the people were not aloud to speak in order to keep them from questioning what had been promised to them by God.   We also have something promised to us by God and unless we guard our mouth, we will not see it. 


(2) Stand Your Ground - they marched around the city claiming it as their own. 

...(3) Shout Unto God with A Voice of Triumph - in verse 20 we see breakthrough that will only come by praise and worship. ...  Even though the bottom of their feet were beaten, and they were shackled and thrown into a dark dungeon, filled with human waste, they still lifted up a song of praise to God.    In verse 25, we see that SUDDENLY (another great teaching, I will do at another time) the prison walls began to shake and their chains fell off. 


...When we praise, sing, shout and lift up our lives as an offering unto God, we will see the walls in our lives come down and we will also be FREE!

All of these questions are serious and legitimate.   Now, more that ever, these types of questions have come to our mind.   True concern seems to have overtaken the world and the question &lsquo;what do we do&rsquo; is at the top.   Thankfully the answer to all of our seemingly unanswerable questions are simple.


...To humble yourself is to let go of the situation and with a humble heart hand it over to God.   It is casting your cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7) and never picking them up again.   In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God gives you a step-by-step guide on how to see this world &ldquo;healed&rdquo; and &ldquo;forgiven&rdquo; of their sin. 


What we have to do is humble ourselves, pray, seek God&rsquo;s face and turn from our wicked ways, then we will see a God-fearing world again.   Prayer is a mighty gift that has been given to us.   Often we overlook the power of prayer and do not utilize it.   This is the reason we usually &lsquo;don&rsquo;t know what to do&rsquo; in life.   God has given us prayer as a dynamic tool to use.   It is time that we, as Christian believers, start praying with a fervent and humble heart.   God will hear our cry for this land and save us in our time of need. 


&ldquo;If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.&rdquo;

... &ldquo;I am not ashamed of the gospel&rdquo;,but, the question is - are you?   Living in a society where Christians are looked over and scoffed at, we are under pressure to keep quiet about our great and mighty God, who we love.   One man of God who could not keep quiet about the gospel was Joshua.   He continually told us that we cannot be ashamed, embarrassed, nor let the Word of God ever leave our mouth. 


I agree with Joshua, that for me and my house, we will serve the living God.   While in Canada, we were with a couple who are Gideons.   This ministry gives away over a hundred-thousand bibles a year, for they are not ashamed of the gospel.   While in Golden, B.C this couple provided bibles for us to give to the newly saved Christians. 


After seeing the response of the people receiving the bibles, I knew why Psalms 89:1 says: &ldquo;I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.&rdquo;    It is an exciting thing to let all generations hear the &ldquo;faithfulness&rdquo; of our Lord.   I am not ashamed of the gospel and I will never let the gospel depart from my mouth. 


When we put the bible first in our vocabulary then we will see the Word alive in our lives.

By Michelle Echterling   


  Just think, it is possible - in our generation and at this time in our world - to win the nations to Jesus!    Our generation, more than any previous generation has wonderful tools in our reach - radio, television, internet, computers, and the printed word.


...      It is not only a possibility to win the world for Jesus - it is our responsibility!   All of us working together can make it a reality.    Doing just a little, WE CAN accomplish great things.   What&rsquo;s inside of us is the potential for turning the world upside down - or the truth is - right side up and bringing in His presence into each life.  

...   There is such joy in winning souls to Him.    There is wisdom in winning the lost to Jesus.    Proverbs 11:30 reminds us, &ldquo;The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.&rdquo;   In bringing souls to Him, we will reap great benefits - great joy, and great wisdom, as well as, see many lives changed and full of His Love and daily presence.   


   I loved being in Canada and I am looking forward in seeing you all again in just a few weeks!   However, this time I will NOT be praying for snow..... it is May after all.

By Michelle Echterling


&ldquo;The same power that conquered the grave lives in me&rdquo; Ever since I learned that Dad was going to Nigeria, I started praying this prayer a LOT. 


Think about those words - the same exact power that raised Jesus from the grave is IN me.   It is also in my Dad who is going to a place in the world that needs to see an alive and &ldquo;powerful&rdquo; God. 


Someone else I know has this &lsquo;same power.&rsquo;   That someone is YOU.   If you have Jesus as your Savior then He is well able to save you from all the situations in your life. 


He is also able to save a lost and dying world through you.   Writing this I am overcome with emotion knowing that John 3:16 is His promise for us today. 


We have in us His love that rescued this earth.   He has already commissioned us to &ldquo;go and do&rdquo; with the power & love that He has given.   So let&rsquo;s go...

by Michelle Echterling


We again are looking at a New Year, facing an opportunity to have a new beginning.    How are you assured of having a new beginning this year? 


The other day God spoke to me, simply saying, &ldquo;2009 is the year of choices.&rdquo;   That means that this coming year is what YOU make of it, it&rsquo;s your choice. 


Det.   30:19  &ldquo;I place before you life and death, blessings and curses, choose life!&rdquo; 


This year you must choose life in every way.   Each year great men and women of God have a word for the coming year, we get excited and are spirit is enlightened, but by February we think that nothing has changed so we stop believing. 


When that day comes and things may feel, look, or seem the same just say out loud 


Det. 30:19 then choose to believe it.   You will see that 2009 will be different and full of great glory.

...&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have time to Pray.&rdquo;   How many times have you heard or even said these words?   I know for myself it has been difﬁcult to pray at times because of all the activities in life. 


...According to the USA Today, in an average lifetime we will spend our time in this way: 


1. six months at stoplights 


2. eight months opening junk mail 


3. one year looking for lost objects 


4. ﬁve years waiting in lines 


...6. two months evacuating from hurricanes. 


...Maybe not everyone has the last time consumer, but the truth is, we don&rsquo;t always make time to pray.   It&rsquo;s time to redeem our time and make a commitment to pray.   When we do, all of those situations like those storms in our life will die!   Start to overcome life&rsquo;s obstacles with the power of prayer!

Just recently mom went and got her eyes checked.    As the eye doctor told her that her eyes were seeing 20/20, I remembered that spiritually we all see with our hearts.   Paul&rsquo;s prayer for the church in Ephesus was that &lsquo;the eyes of your heart maybe enlightened&rsquo; (Eph. ...  I had to ask myself if I was seeing God as clearly as Paul had prayed that we would.  


When our hearts are dirty, our vision becomes impaired.   Spiritual blinders are put up and our view of Him is blocked.   Therefore we need to ask and give permission to remove anything that keeps us from seeing His presence in our life. 


...Remember, God is always at work (John 5:17).    He wants you to know and see Him clearer and clearer.    He longs for you and I to see how much love He has for us.   At this moment, the eyes of our hearts are being opened to a new level of His presences.    It&rsquo;s time to pray and let God clean out our hearts so we can clean up our world.

by Michelle Echterling


&ldquo;The same power that conquered the grave lives in me&rdquo; Ever since I learned that Dad was going to Nigeria, I started praying this prayer a LOT. 


Think about those words - the same exact power that raised Jesus from the grave is IN me.   It is also in my Dad who is going to a place in the world that needs to see an alive and&ldquo;powerful&rdquo; God. 


Someone else I know has this &lsquo;same power.&rsquo;   That someone is YOU.   If you have Jesus as your Savior then He is well able to save you from all the situations in your life.   He is also able to save a lost and dying world through you. 


Writing this I am overcome with emotion knowing that John 3:16 is His promise for us today.   We have in us His love that rescued this earth.   He has already commissioned us to &ldquo;go and do&rdquo; with the power & love that He has given.   So let&rsquo;s go...
