I am now halfway done with the shortest summer of my Southwestern career. For those of you who don’t know, I sell educational materials to families every summer through the most difficult (yet rewarding) internship available to college students in the U.S. Usually the program is 12 weeks; this is my 4th summer, and due to other commitments, I am doing 4 weeks.
This past week I learned how to take pressure off of myself by not focusing on current results, but on eternal results. This job is incredibly difficult emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, but I choose to do it so that God can grow me quickly into the spiritual warrior He wants me to be. This week, I faced my fear of rejection daily, and boldly approached over 230 families, sitting down with over 100 of them. It was great to trust in God and find my confidence in Him!
This week I will focus on loving moms and dads unconditionally, and praying without ceasing. I am dedicating each week to a loved one (last week was Laura), so this week goes out to my sister, Alisa!
In other news, I leave for Zambia in 18 days! :)
“I know that this will be one of the hardest things I’ll have to deal with, but it has led me to Jesus, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. It’s time to follow Jesus with every part of myself. He is all I need to satisfy me. Nothing of this world could replace Him. I have no idea what the next year will bring, but I can rest well knowing that it’s in God’s hands.”
Mmmmm Amen
Does anyone know where he went? I’m enjoying his chorus leader’s worship, but I miss tuning into him …
Yeah. This is happening next week … AGHHH!!
Dear Lord,
I pray right now for every heavy heart. Every burdened spirit. Every diseased body. Let there be healing! Let there be light! Let there be truth! You bring healing, You bring joy, You bring peace.
“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us, on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on the acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” -Hosea 6:1-3
Where there is light, there cannot be darkness, Lord, so drive it out. Drive it out of our hearts, drive it out of our campuses, drive it out of our cities. We want You and You alone. You alone are Holy, You alone are Worthy.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
What? JT Money live in the Prayer Room on a Wednesday afternoon!? With a baseball cap on!? Yeah, this just made my day.
Laura says we’ll be singing this song in heaven. I agree.

“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises” (Psalm 34:1, NLT)
When you wake up in the morning, do you expect the goodness of God in your life? Do you set the tone of the day for success, favor and blessing with your words? Scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That’s why it’s so important to declare praises to God all throughout the day. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining and discouraged, but don’t let that spirit rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you’re going to shine. The good news is that no matter how you feel, no matter what’s going on around you, you can choose your words. There’s nothing that can stop you from constantly speaking His Word!
Today I encourage you, be determined to set the tone for your day, week, month and year by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. Remember, when you put God first, He promises to honor you. He will pour out His favor on you and lead you into life, health, strength and blessing all the days of your life!
