The Lord Shows Up Always :)

So often I think of Gideon, because I am so like him. Scared of my own shadow, but I show up 🙂

Often God puts something on our heart to do, but we ignore Him. We’re afraid, busy, concerned it won’t work out well…

But the truth is, as Jim at 90.5 FM Christians Radio says, when we go to serve the Lord, the Lord always shows up! And that is all we have to do as well 🙂

Why we don’t give God the credit when He answers our Prayers?

We are simply scared to admit we are not in control. Think about it, someone else controls our life, it’s scarey.

Until we remember just how much God loves us!

Don’t Ever Stop Praying :)

For prayer is what connects us to God. And we need prayer like we need breathing 🙂

Thank You Jesus!

Can you imagine if Jesus had not been born? Jesus is our way to the Father. Our doorway to Heaven. Our best friend and our bridge to all that is good. And He loves us, Blessed are we!

May you, each one of you, have a Happy and Holy Christmas my Friends until we meet in Heaven one day 🙂

As we approach Christmas, I can’t help but think of how much pain Mary and Joseph so willingly suffered for Jesus during His life time. I can’t even imagine watching my son suffer so! We love our children so much! I am not saying that it makes me a great person, but if I am honest, I don’t know if I could be as strong, courageous and selfless as they were… When one of my children is sick, I worry about them constantly. If one of them were crucified before my eyes,I just don’t think I could do it! But Mary did, she stayed strong for Jesus because she loved Him and our Father so much. And Joseph did so much for Jesus! How wise was our Father when He chose them!

Because they loved our Lord Jesus, and our Father, they believed in their Promises 🙂

And because of their willingness to suffer any measure in order to see our Father’s plan for Redemption come true, it did! How Blessed are we ?

Lessons from my Father Part 2: :)

Being friends with God, is in someways no different than being friends here. It takes spending time together, really knowing each other and learning to trust one another.

Thank goodness, dare I say thank God, we are all capable of of that 🙂

Lessons from my father-part one :)

As many of you know, my Dad died a few years ago. He taught me so much about faith before he left for Heaven. One of the most important lessons he taught me is feelings just are…but faith is not about how we feel on any given day, but about who we choose to follow on every single day.

And he taught me that sometimes feelings lie…sometimes we “feel” that God is far away, but the truth is that God is always with us and God is always for us. Our “feelings” may tell us we have failed one to many times, but the truth is that there is no such thing. Jesus loves us no matter what and has already paid the price of all of our sins. There are times we may “feel” trapped by circumstances, but The truth is we are free. For Jesus set us free and Heaven waits.

So while it is true that feelings just are. It is also true that God is ever faithful even when we are not (And let’s face it, we all fail sometimes)

But no matter what, God always keeps His promises 🙂

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life”.-John 3:16

Just thinking of that verse, I can’t help but think how much it must have cost our Father to give His only Son, just to save us. Loving our children is as wonderful as it is all consuming. I can remember well when they were little and sick, my heart would just hurt for them! And as they got older and faced some of life’s challenges, my heart hurt even more for them! I can’t even begin to think what it must have cost our Father and Jesus’ mother Mary, to watch their Son suffer so just to save us.

Thank you Jesus, for saving me. And thank you Father and Mary for your willingness to hurt so much as you watched your Son suffer for our sins, so that we might be saved.

How Blessed are we to be so loved. And although there will never be enough words to thank you, thank you all the same
