Thank you Jesus! :D

Sometimes when I feel down,

all I have to do is look around me at the much beauty of God’s creation.
How he carefully and lovingly crafted everything into having its own special unique look.
How he outlined the flowers to where you know their all flowers, but they all have their own beautiful shape and color.
How he makes patterns of the sky with the clouds the sun the stars and moon.
Every ripple every wave every rock in the waters are placed and timed just right!
The design of each leaf, the shape of each tree.
The vast beauty of the bold Mountains that stand tall and strong.
Just by looking around at all these marvelous wonders that were formed by God; You know
his love is all around us. He is a caring creator, and when you stop and think of all the care he puts in these earthly things; I then remember that his love for me is greater! He made all this beauty for us to know he is truly an awesome God!
When I feel that the world is caving in, Jesus some how always smiles at me and it’s not just any smile it’s a smile that hugs you. :)
So when I have a rainy day I like to think of what exactly rain does. It help’s things grow it washes impurity’s away and leaves vibrant color. So after it rains and if I allow nature to take its course the way God designed. Then I will be that much closer to God. Stronger, clean, joyful and happy; because I just went through something and came out ten times better because
My Jesus stuck with me and helped me through!

"All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness." Hebrews 12: 11

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1: 2-4

I had to totally depend on Jesus because I was lost discouraged I didn’t know what to do or where to turn.
Why Jesus always wins?
Because love defeats all! His works are all based on love the love he has for us. He invested everything into us! And when I think of that, it’s like I have absolutely no rights at all. Only because of the blood of Jesus, do I have a reason to live.
We’re just totally useless and helpless without him.
But he still loves us! It doesn't matter what people say or do to you. People are going to hurt you all your life. Satan is going to bother you all your life.
Jesus!! Will be with you all your life if you ask him too, if you have faith and believe HIM!
I thank my awesome God sooo much for his promise to never leave me!


I found this song and I really like the words they’re so true!
I didn’t know how else to get it on here. So I made a slideshow and found some neat pictures we took, they fit good since I talked about God's creation! :)

God bless all of you! :) Love in Christ, Rachel

Hello everybody!
I am guilty of withholding this from you for about a week now. I just couldn’t get myself to post it, but I realized that it was once again pride :P keeping me from doing so!
SO!! :D here it is.
I was reading Romans 8 with a sister of mine, and even though I have read it before
It’s amazing how you can get something new out of it each time!
Lately I’ve been feeling sort of restless, jaded, etc, etc, Not trusting God!
I know that I should trust God, my life is in his hands and whatever he does with it is his perfect plan for me. But Sometimes I just want the answers now!! I want to see a little bit into my future. I keep asking God "what do you have in store for me?" I know this might sound terrible but this is the way I’ve been lately. : P
Well… He gave me this.
28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
34 who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Even as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 it is after reading all that, then can I say; For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. WOW!! :)
I get easily distracted with thing's, it's so easy to do that. I don't usually realize how much I've wondered away til I get pretty deep into whatever it was I would be doing, unfortunately. :P
The wheel of this world spins around so fast and yet some days it feels like it’s not even moving at all!
I just need to rest in Christ Knowing that he is the way truth and life. I need to live day by day doing the things God would have me to do, boasting not of tomorrow.
I need to live each day as if it were my last because I really don't know when I will take my last breath. I only pray that when I do, my life would be honoring to God.
We need to develop a close loving inseparable relationship to Jesus; it’s easy enough to say I love him, But how much do I really love him when I allow all these things to distract me?
I want such a love for Christ, the kind that when a loud tumultuous storm comes my way I will be able to hear him, to know his voice.
I am so overwhelmed with the indivisible love Christ has for me, he's always there for me, he holds onto me. I let go often but He pulls me back up and puts me back on that narrow path.
I am so unworthy of his love, But I'm very grateful for his love because without it I would be very lost. I would have no purpose in life, it would be empty.
I invoke Jesus Christ, only in him can I trust my life with.
He is the only reason for my existence, the one who makes life worth living. I praise his awesome, wonderful, amazing, name. I thank him for who he is and what he's done.
With the strong help of the Lord through his love we are more than conquerors, and we can win, in Jesus name!
I hope that made any sense, it made me feel better anyways, just writing it down.: D
God bless you all!
Love in Christ, Rachel Heyworth

July 1st
we went to the Rochester fireworks along with the Bendixens, Wegners, Alessios and Carrigers!
Here we are, :) on our way to pass out tracts and share Christ with people!
It was truly a blessing being able to talk to people about what the loving savior Jesus did for them/us
And just being able to do so in one accord with Friends who love and want to serve God, that is a blessing and encouragement in itself!
















































Jeremiah 1
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I: “ Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the LORD said to me: “ Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me:
“ Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”

God bless everyone, love in Christ, Rachel :)

To the Wegners. :)

"It is well with my soul"

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well; it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, with my soul, it is well, with my soul, it is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Refrain
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Refrain
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in lifeThou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
Refrain
But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, the sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!
Refrain
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; 4 For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; 8 He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, For the LORD has spoken. 9 And it will be said in that day,"Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us this is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation."
Dear Wegners
My heart goes out to you during this time of loss
I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to lose a brother/son
The comforting thing is; you only have to say goodbye for a little while
Praise GOD, everyone will see him again someday!!
Til then, Goodbye little Jonathan we all love you!
We all love you Wegners, and will continue to lift you up in prayer during this time of grief and pain.
“May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’

Love Rachel, H
