New Year, One Word

One Word!  

Maybe instead of a long list of resolutions, you can choose one word.  

One word that sums up who you want to be or how you want to live. One word that you can focus on every day, all year long.

It will take intentionality and commitment, but if you let it, your one word will shape not only your year, but also you. It will become the compass that directs your decisions and guides your steps.

Discover the big impact one word can make.

One word. 365 days. A changed life.

Joy To The World

Joy to the world, Jesus came for all. 

He offers grace, love, and forgiveness, we have to seek Him and trust in Him to find it. 

John 3:16-17 says that God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son so that anyone who believes in Him will not be lost, but will have eternal life. God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but to save the world through Him. 

Jesus came for you, He came for me, out of the purest place of love. 

It's our choice if we accept that. 

He's there.  Grace, love, peace for our lives is always found in Him.  Turn to Jesus and find what your life is missing this year. 


Merry Christmas!

Your Worth

Has anyone told you lately what a great job you're doing?!

And you are safe & wanted & loved & carried & secure.

And when all your value, worth, joy, & riches are in the greatest of gifts -- His uncontainable, unrelenting, unwavering love for you -- 
you are free to exhale & enjoy & just lavishly give away your gifts!

When you unwrap your worth in the Gift of Christ -- you release your grip on all the other gifts & you, yourself, simply become the gift...
the most beautiful, unbound, unafraid, unstoppable gift of joy!  ~Ann Voskamp

Through The Fog

Blessed to be at the right place at the right time to see the freezing fog lift off the trees.  

God shows up all over our lives, if we look for Him.  

Oh Christmas Tree

Give Thanks

Speak thanks, make it a part of your every day life.  

Let your life reflect gratitude, in all things.  

Good days, bad days.  

Be thankful.

Remember on this Thanksgiving to put your family and loved ones first, not food, not football, not shopping.  

People.  

They are what truly matters.  

Time with them is precious.  Make your moments count. 

Life is short, appreciate and be thankful for the moments you are given.  

Psalm 100 Living Bible (TLB)

 Shout with joy before the Lord, O earth!  Obey him gladly; come before him, singing with joy.  Try to realize what this means—the Lord is God! He made us—we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  

Go through his open gates with great thanksgiving; enter his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name.   For the Lord is always good.  He is always loving and kind, and his faithfulness goes on and on to each succeeding generation.

Colossians 2:7New Life Version (NLV)

 Have your roots planted deep in Christ. Grow in Him. Get your strength from Him. Let Him make you strong in the faith as you have been taught. Your life should be full of thanks to Him.

Hebrews 12:28The Voice (VOICE)

 Therefore, let us all be thankful that we are a part of an unshakable Kingdom and offer to God worship that pleases Him and reflects the awe and reverence we have toward Him.
