The Reason for the Season!

So much has happened in this week and may I add that it isn't even over yet. This has been one of the most emotional, overly extended weeks that I have experienced in a really long time. When you look at my calendar for this week every night I was busy doing something, except for Monday. However, in that week I've experienced the power of prayer, the joy of love, and people uniting to give thanks.


As the year is coming to an end, I finally realized that I am my life like a celebration, especially, during this time of the year. God sent his one and only son to die on the cross for us... Is there really even a reason not to celebrate that? Jesus died for our sins, but with this sacrifice also brought eternal love to us all. I am so blessed to celebrate the LOVE that is in Christ our Lord. Romans 8:39 and nothing will truly separate me from the love that is him, that I strive to receive each and every day. I am so passionate and full of celebration this year during this season because I can truly say that I have received the love of Christ. I had to truly give up my life, to become a humble servant to know what it is like to receive the gift of God. What is a better gift than that? So through all the extreme white elephant gift exchanges the only thing I really get to exchange is LOVE. I get to be surrounded by the children who are learning to love Christ more, friends who impact and inspire me to love them more, a job that is full of love and joy, and family who I want to continue to out pour my love of them and of Christ.
 


So what is your reason for this season?

Take a minute.

Life moves fast sometimes, to fast. Sometimes we get to wrapped up in the fast life and we forget the little things. I know I can admit, I become easily distracted by the little things. That little thing can distract me, and can become a big distraction, and that big distraction can cause me to stray away from what I know is best or right. So we must remember to not to get distracted or become overwhelm. Just take a minute to breathe and bask in the beauty, that Jesus Christ has created for us. The other night, as well as, the night before I found myself looking up at the stars, all billion of those beautiful stars and how they light up the sky. Just makes me realize how amazing our God is, for him to place all those stars in the sky and light up the night the way they do is amazing. I just need everyone to look at how amazing the sky looks at night. Just look how amazing the sky looks, although this isn't a picture I took, it's still a picture of God's w...

Jesus, Take the Wheel!!!!!!!

You know that saying people would say "Jesus take the wheel," have you ever thought about what that means. Well I figured I could provide a good example:  Now that you got a good laugh, lets really talk. I remember growing in people would say that saying and I never really understood what it meant. So now that I am older, I use to say "Jesus, take the wheel" I remember saying it when I was stressed out or when a friend of mines was acting inappropriately. When we think of such a saying, we want God to have control because we lack all control. But shouldn't God always be driving the car in your life? And what does that look like when you truly let Jesus drive? For me that means I need to surrender. I am still allowing myself to put other things in God's place. I am driving to a destination that I chose to worship other than God. Simply, I am idolizing something that isn't God. You will always be driving on a never ending road when you chose s...

Simple Things.

I got this Awesome coffee mug yesterday, and I am absolutely obsessed with it. First, it says You are an Amazing Woman . Second, the rim of the mug is Proverbs 31: 29 | " Many Women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." This is such a inspirational mug not because of who said, simply because it's a word of God. Words of confirmation and positivity, ladies if this doesn't lift your spirits in the morning, then I don't know what will. Let's thank God for the simple things like waking up, and getting an awesome mug. God you are an amazing father, you never fail in love for me. And I thank you for that. Thank you for whipping away my sins, for sending your one and only son to die on the cross for me. What an awesome God you are, and you deserve nothing less than the highest praise! I walk into the upcoming week with my eyes directed on you, and knowledge of knowing that everything that will happen through you and for you. You are my Savior Jesus ...
