Premier Designs, Inc

Hello Ladies If you're reading this you probably received a Business card from me already :-) I found it easier to have a short description about Premier on my blog rather then have it all on the back of my Business card, however I've been informed that this is a no no... so for more information email me at praguegirl2002@yahoo.com or call me using the number on my business card. A new trade in my life. God has allowed me to do so many things and now I am a Premier Jeweler! And I love it. I believe that the LORD allowed me to get into this business for his glory alone. He has promised to provide for my every need. And that doesn't mean He needs Premier to do it... He has used a yard sale, a tax return and a friend to meet my needs. Remember God never Fails and is always in control when we trust in HIM! May the LORD bless, Jennifer Byerly

"The Vapor of Life"

All throughout the Word of God, we see a short description given of mens lives. "They went here... They did this... They died." Again and again, we see this. We see the Good they've done or the evil they did. Life is a Vapor and we are given a glimpse of these men's lives. Their stories are written to teach us what to do... or what not to do. Let's look at the Vapor of Asa's Life ~ 2 Chronicles 15-16 1. Asa and the people vowed to seek the LORD with all their hearts and souls. 2. Asa Removed the Queen and broke down her idols, but the high places from years before remained. 3. After awhile, Asa began to neglect asking God for help. What caused this I do not know, but apparently Asa didn't believe God could handle the situation. 4. A prophet came to him and told him a very powerful message that we all should heed. He told him God's eyes run back and forth through out the whole world... Looking for a person that God could show Himself strong to. 5. Asa was called foolish by the prophet because Asa had made the decision to rest in Human strength. 6. Asa because furious at the prophet and put him in prison. 7. Later, Asa became diseased in his feet - He had already turned from seeking God long before this. Now when he should have seen the direr need to turn to God, he turned and sought after the physician's help. But they couldn't help him and so he died. Without the strength of the LORD by his side. Lessons from Asa: 1. When you vow a vow remember to keep it for God will hold you responsible. (Numbers 30:2, 2 Chronicles 15:14). 2. It is easy to start off well, but few finish well. (Luke 9:62; 2 Timothy 4:7). 3. Don't rely on yourself or others strength. (Job 6:11; Psalms 22:15; Psalms 59:9). 4. Remember God is want to show Himself strong to you. (2 Chronicles 16:9) 5. There are consequences when you rest in your own strength. (2 Chronicles 16:9b; 16:12; James 1:14-16). 6. At all times you must turn to Christ FIRST and FOREMOST ~ not to men, such as doctors. (Hebrews 12:2) 7. REMEMBER, God wants to do good things for us - He long to help us. We just need to let go of our reasoning and our strength, our will and even our emotions. * Reasoning ~ In the Bible when they use the word reasoning, their thoughts are directly against God's thoughts. (Mark 2:6; Mark 12:28; Luke 9:46; Acts 28:29). * Strength ~ When we do anything in our strength, we will fail! (Proverbs 24:10) * Will ~ We need to crucify our will to the Cross daily. (Gal. 2:20). * Emotions ~ we must not base our decisions upon our feelings. Feelings are fickle and can change with circumstances. But one thing is constant and that is our LORD, He doesn't change. We need to LOOK to CHRIST continuously. Our emotions will lead us to thinking we are right, however we need to judge our actions by the Word of God and not by what we feel about a circumstance. (Proverbs 12:15). Conclusion: Why do we base our life on our personality or our way of thinking. We make excuses for lower living. We base our life on our emotions and we make our decisions on our emotions. We rest in our reasoning and our strength. Why do we think we know better then God? Why is it so hard to say "Not my will but Thine O Lord" .... ??? If every Christian, including myself, lived Galatians 2:20 every day ... how different this world would be. Why did the Christians of Acts turn the world upside down? The answer I think can be found in this quote by a friend of Ann Judson. Speaking of Ann, the friend had said this... "Redeeming love... was now her theme. One might spend days with her, without hearing any other subject reverted to. The throne of grace, too, was her early and late resort. I have known her to spend cold winter evenings in a chamber without fire and return to the family with a solemnity spread over her countenance, which told of Him with whom she had been communing. Nor was her love of social pleasures diminished, although the complexion of them was completely changed." ~ from My heart in His hands. Why can't that be said of Christiantium today? Whats wrong with us? ... !!! What are we missing? We spend our days engulfed in pleasure. Watching tv and movies, hanging out with friends, going shopping, texting, emailing, facebooking, iming, and other such pleasure. Life is just a vapor and our time is being taken away by all of these things. My dear friend, I appeal to you how much time do you spend with the LORD in a day? 5 minutes, 10, 20, 30, maybe 60? Now how much time doing all those other things? I am very convicted in writing this for I too fall in the category of spending more time in pleasure then with the LORD. Dear friend, Take heart... every moment of every day Give you life to God's full control.
