The perfect gift for the teen or tween in your life, Around the Word in 60 Seconds contains 52 weeks of stories illustrating the things that guys and girls encounter every day (like love, family, friends, money, temptation, school, and many more). An activity, prayer, and verses help it hit home. Through short, daily interactions with God, readers will learn what it means to truly follow Jesus with changed hearts and lives.

Introducing… “WORD OF THE WEEK” with Caroline Grace
Here is my first weekly Devo!
Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by danger, evil, discomfort and the unknown. Don’t we use these same words to describe Satan? I think yes!
Constantly, Satan is trying to beat us down by putting fear into our lives. For example, you’re fearful of the dark at night, you’re fearful of your mom’s reaction when she sees a poor grade, or maybe you’re fearful of growing up and continuing on your journey with God. It is normal to be fearful. I, myself, am fearful of many things.
One of my biggest fears is being alone! I always like to be surrounded by company. Although this world has many distractions that can scare us and cause fear, we need not to worry because God is always in control. Isaiah 41:13 says, “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’” God guides us through every step we take in life. He always has our back. No matter what situation we’re in, God will be there to help us. Psalm 115:11 says, “You who fear him, trust in the Lord — he is your help and shield!”
God covers us with a strong shield made of his love and mercy. Isn’t this reassuring? Jesus was constantly aware of God’s assurance. Jesus was never fearful. He trusted in God and lived in the moment. It is our job to be like Him and try our best to live in the moment, and not fear. I want to challenge you all to think of God next time you are scared. When we are stressed, it is easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget about God. In reality, you should rely on Him, because you will always be safe when he is holding your hand.

Just like Jesus Himself who encourged us all to let our lights shine in the darkness of our world - (Mark 4:21 NLT) – “Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine.”
If you don’t have a place to go for church or fellowship, please email us at info@ishinelive.com and we’ll do our best to help, also if you don’t know Jesus as your personal “Lord and Savior” or want to know more about that… we would love to help. Peace and Grace to you this Easter Holy Day….

Happy St. Patricks Day!
March 17, 2012CommentSome saints need to be remembered… and the famous St. Patrick is definitely worth checking out! His story is one of great drama and grace, full of injustice, wealth and privilege, poverty, teenage – despair and adult enlightenment…drowned in a wave of love, compassion and forgiveness for those who wronged him in his youth. His passion for fellow mankind, the lost hearts and souls of those who he should have hated, are worth remembering every year…. to find out more, check out this History channel link.
Excerpt from History.com article…” Patrick walked nearly 200 miles from County Mayo, where it is believed he was held, to the Irish coast. After escaping to Britain, Patrick reported that he experienced a second revelation—an angel in a dream tells him to return to Ireland as a missionary. Soon after, Patrick began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than 15 years. After his ordination as a priest, he was sent to Ireland with a dual mission: to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert the Irish.
It’s easy to see.. St. Patrick’s Day is more than a quaint spring holiday or an excuse for a day of fun and green expressions of joy. He’s a man to be remembered and revered, and then after you’ve considered his contributions to our faith and our heritage… you’re free to go eat some green stuff and dance a jig in his memory! 
Before you go… take this with you ! A genuine – St. Patrick’s Day Blessing… (Courtesy of Father Mike Warnke) “May your Blessings be many. May your troubles be few. May friends and family gather ’round your table and May our Good God hold in the palm of His hand.”
