Our KSOM studnts ar having a grat impact throughout Kntucky. Of th 380 crdntiald ministrs in th

Kntucky, 70 ar currnt or formr KSOM studnts. Of thos 70 KSOM studnts who ar credentialed ministers; 29ar now, or hav bn th pastor of a church in Kntucky, three ar succssful church planters, two ar th pastors

We have been given the opportunity to make this year, one filled

with victory or defeat, joyful or miserable, filled with praise orcomplaining. We decide what we are going to do in everysituation, good or bad. Standing strong in the Lord throughoutthe ups and downs, we will leave a testimony of Gods provisionand unending love. The world doesnt really care about our talk,they care more about how we walk. Jesus walked it before Hetalked it.

If you could ask for three things from God to help you be all youwant to be, what would you choose? My first thought would be tobe like Jesus. What about the whipping part? The ridiculing part?The cross thing? Can we skip those parts? Being like Jesusencompasses more than the good things in His life. It requiresbeing a living sacrifice, willing to stay on the altar withoutcrawling off when things get tough. Did you know.

1. You are blessed when you reach the end of your rope.Because when there is less of you, there is more roomfor God and His rule.

2. You are blessed when you feel you have lost what ismost dear to you. Because only then can you beembraced by the One most dear to you.

3. You are blessed when you are content with just who youareno more, no less. Thats the moment you findyourselves proud owners of everything that cant bebought.

4. You are blessed when you have worked up a goodappetite for God. His food and drink is the best meal youwill ever eat.

5. You are blessed when you care. At the moment of bein

care-full, you will find yourselves being cared for.6. You are blessed when you get your inside world, yourmind and heart, put right. Then you can see God in theoutside world.

7. You are blessed when you can get people to cooperateinstead of compare, judge and fight. Thats when youdiscover who you really are and your place in Godsfamily.

8. You are blessed when your commitment to God provokpersecution. The persecution drives you even deeperinto Gods kingdom.

9. You are blessed every time you get put down, ignored,rejected or treated badly or when others speak lies aboyou to discredit you because of your commitment. Thisusually is the result of the truth getting too close to themand they are uncomfortable around you. You can be gwhen this happens. Even though they dont like it, or yI do. All heaven applauds you. You are in good compaMany prophets and witnesses have always gotten into

this kind of trouble.10.You are here to be salt-seasoners-- to bring out theGod-flavor to the earth. You are also to be light-givers-- to bring out the God-colors that can only beseen through the light that comes from you.

Blessings a bunch. Hey, is that Jesus I see? Yep, there He is!

Love ya, JP
