SUICIDE IS RUNNING RAMPANT IN THE WORLD TODAY. IT IS EVEN PREVELANT IN CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 9 YEARS OLD! AS I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FACT, I RECALLED THE EIGHT WORDS SPOKEN IN A MOVIE…COME WITH ME IS YOU WANT TO LIVE!
WHOLE HEARTED
By Anita Mondragon
Every promise I have drawn from my Promise Box lately, has been about standing firm in the Lord, a shifting in the Spirit, a sifting…change…moving forward, for the Kingdom of God. Read more…
THE WHITE HORSE
By Anita Mondragon
6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, “Come and see.”
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Revelation 6:1-2 Read more…
I HAVE BECOME ALL THINGS…
By Anita Mondragon
1 Corinthians 9:19: “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men that I might by all means save some.”
TAKE COURAGE!
By Anita Mondragon
He cares about us…we matter to Him;
When days are bright, or when they’re dim.
We’re always on His mind, and ever in His thoughts,
And all the plans He has for us, are with much consideration fraught!
For those gone on before, now stand before the Lamb…
In spotless robes of white, before the Great I Am.
They fought to win the prize; some, martyrs they became,
While burning in the fire, they still dared to speak His name!
They stood up for the Cross…they did not die in ease!
They faced the fury of Hell’s gates, and sailed through bloody seas.
They fought the fight, and kept the faith, and held His banner high;
And while dying for His cause, they never questioned “Why?”
So soldiers of the King, must now, new courage take…
For the storms we do so dread, full of mercies soon will break!

THE ROCK OF AGES
By Anita Mondragon
“Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor. 3:11
“When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. On Christ the solid Rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand…” – Edward Mote, 1834 / William B. Bradbury, 1863
**************************************************************************************
I sometimes tremble so faint of heart,
Though on the solid Rock I stand;
And while the tempest rages wild around me,
I’m held secure in the Father’s hand.
Though on the Rock, I sometimes tremble,
As the storm clouds of life are all I can see,
He says, “Hold fast to the Rock of Ages…”
And He NEVER trembles under me!
He’s always with me,
Come rain, or shine;
In the cleft of the rock,
He comforts me.
He covers me there,
With His mighty hand,
And reminds me,
I’ve been set free!
Though I shudder and shake,
And shiver from fear…
I’m held in the palm of His hand.
I’m ever secure, when within HIS grasp…
As on the Rock of Ages, I stand!

I JUST WANT TO COME HOME!
By Anita Mondragon
Well…here we are, almost at the end of the second month of 2020. I made a list of several things I wanted to do differently this year. Things like: Changing my diet and exercising more, was of course in there, but other things came to mind as well. Things like, smiling more, being more kind and humble, really looking at people with God’s eyes and seeing their hurt, sharing Jesus more; then one thing really stuck out in my mind–giving up!

SHINE!
By Anita Mondragon
I drew this promise from my box this morning….
“God…hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ.” -2 Corinthians 4:6
So…what does that look like? How do we ‘give the light’? Read more…
WINDSOCK CHRISTIANITY
By Anita Mondragon
We’ve all seen them around town. They attract attention to businesses. They are long, bright colored tubes with faces and arms. When the power of the blower (wind machine) is turned on, they beacon folks to come in. They are inviting.
But to be a windsock Christian is a distraction! Christians are supposed to be stable, confident, and steadfast! So I ask you… Read more…
