Every year, I pray and ask Jesus to whisper a promise into my heart to end the year with and another to start the new year with. 2014 brought me a lot of challenges. My faith was stretched into new heights and I am very thankful for it all.

Thank you, God for a year filled with trials, joys, sorrows, triumphs and most of all grace. I leave this year knowing that no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper and that no matter what You are faithful and bigger than any giant in this lifetime.

Thank You for the challenges that have been a true blessing in my life, even when I didn't see it. I praise Your name, simply because you are worthy of praise. I continue to run the race into 2015 with a New Hope and vision, praising You along the way. Have Your way, Your will be done, my Jesus ... truly Your promises are refreshing to my heart and soul and without You, I couldn't be half the woman You've created me to be. Amen.

Be encouraged in this New Year and remember that there is nothing too big, too insignificant or too hard for God! Remember that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts, His. Are. Better. 

My Abba Daddys promise in closing 2014 is in the book of Joel 2:25 I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten. Thank You God for every trial and joy. Goodbye 2014! Here's to a New Hope in 2015!

My 2015 promise from Him is in Psalm 65:11.



Happy New Year!!

50 Years Blessed

Today, I get to celebrate 50 years of life! Praise God!  I made it into the 50 club!  We’ve all had days (and maybe even years) when life just doesn’t seem to be going our way! I’ve had long seasons of life where I felt like nothing was working and everything was out of whack, and I’ve had frustrating days where I just can’t seem to get anything accomplished. But... This morning I rejoiced in the company of my loving family. They knew my heart was especially tender this birthday because it is a milestone and I am missing my Dad. I would love to receive his call and hear his raspy voice sing into my heart, to have him hug me tight, and to read one of his loving and heartfelt bday cards one more time, but the reality is that I am not going to. But I Praise God that I have the hope of heaven. And as my beautiful family woke me up with balloons, birthday cards, hugs and kisses, and prayed over me, I was quickly reminded that no matter what our circumstances are -- I...

Jesus! Jeremiah! And Psalm 8

This morning, I clearly heard the Lord telling me to ask Jeremiah to sit with me and read His word together. We usually have devotions on Thursday night with my husband, but it's my responsibility as their Mommy to also sit with our kids. I confess that I am not consistent. I read. I allow God to pour into me, but how selfish of me, not to include my kids in a more consist way! Well, that changes as of today! And you can keep me accountable. No! Really I challenge you, to challenge me! And don't you just LOVE IT  when God speaks to you and then He totally sends confirmation afterward? The Lord, said... Read a Psalm and because today is July 8th, we read Psalm 8.  v.2 " Out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, You have ordained strength because of your enemies, that you may silence the enemy and the avenger".  Children (that's us) are able to trust and praise God without doubt or reservations. As we get older, many of us, find this more difficult...

Thinking Of Heaven

Heaven! James!  And the Introduction!  I was thinking of Heaven today. I was thinking of how exciting it will be when I'm in the presence of my Jesus! I picture myself arriving and hugging my Lord 1st and foremost and immediately asking him to show me where James is. I want to thank him personally for this amazing letter he wrote. The book of James, is mind blowing bold in it's own right. You know how you can read and study a book in the Bible and then you read and study it again and it just speaks to you in a whole new way? Yup! Its like that. James teaches us the right Christian behavior and doesn't sugar coat anything. It doesn't matter what version you try reading this book in, you will feel conviction in your heart if you are humbly honest with yourself. With well chosen words, James reminds us that it's not enough to talk the Christian faith, he says; we must live it (2.14) The proof of the reality of our faith is a changed life. He... Outl...
