Why did I choose Allen Tate? - 02/23/11 09:08 AM
My Office Manager/BIC asked me yesterday if I would put into words, "Why I chose Allen Tate" to work for.  My first thoughts were that if I said "I prayed about it for a really long time and felt like this is the direction that the Lord wants me to go in" that he would probably say that's great, but it wouldn't really be the answer he was looking for.  I've only been with the company for a week, but already I can feel a shift in my life.  The first team meeting yesterday was so positive and encouraging and FUN! … (6 comments)

Bible Verse of the Day - 02/16/11 09:48 AM
"When the Philistines heard that David had been crowned king of Israel, they tried to capture him; but David was told that they were coming and went into the stronghold. The Philistines arrived and spread out across the valley of Rephaim. Then David asked the Lord, 'Shall I go out and fight against them? Will you defeat them for me?'" (2 Sam 5:17-19).

When you are about to enter your destiny, there is always opposition from Satan designed to prevent you from fulfilling your destiny.

Prayer for the Day - 02/14/11 04:14 PM
Dear God, Your love is everlasting and far reaching. It touches my soul and lifts my spirit. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. No matter what gift I have, perhaps if the gift of prophecy, and understand all  mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and thought I give my body to be burned, but have … (2 comments)

As long as you are in control of my life, everything is going to be all right. I cling to the Savior's invitation to "come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and … (5 comments)

Bible Verse of the Day - 02/07/11 12:56 PM
“Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways,  King of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you for your righteous acts have been revealed" (Rev. 15:3-4). Dear Lamb of God, how much longer until you come again? The Scriptures are being fulfilled as God revealed. This world is in such turmoil that it can't be long now before you bring it to an end…and all will know that you are who you are. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess … (7 comments)

Dear God, today I want to lift up the teenagers of this world. What a burden I have for them. So many are lost and undone. Their lives are a mess.

I pray for each and every one, that the right person or people or circumstances would come to point them to you and show them your love, life and hope.

God, what do you require of me? Have mercy on me. Help me to have a reverent fear of you, to walk in all your ways, to love you, and to serve you with all my heart and with all my soul (Deuteronomy 10:12).
