Well it’s another new year again, the time when everyone thinks of all the possibilities and the changes they would like to make for the months to follow. I was never one to make news year’s resolutions. I guess it’s because I believed that every day is a new beginning and a fresh start for anyone who wants to make changes or reinvent themselves. Every day begins with new hope and exciting possibilities. If a person is serious about doing…..
I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope you can find some time out from all the busyness and reflect on why we really celebrate Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus. Thank you so much for coming. We can’t do it without You. I thought I would share a couple of photos of one of our little girls ready for Christmas. Love Holly
It’s that time of the year when it seems to get so busy no matter how prepared you are. Just when I’m patting myself on the back for being so ahead of the game I find that every moment is filling with people to see and places to go. Everyday I’m adding something else on my calendar. I didn’t put any thought to my blog this week until today when I was sitting in the hair salon next to a…..
Many years ago, when I was first learning how to walk in faith, I was reading everything that I could get my hands on about my new life with Jesus Christ. I was so hungry for information and guidance. I also found it comforting and healing. One of the books I loved to read was a little book called Our Daily Bread. I couldn’t wait until the next issue would come out. It was a tiny little book only 4…..
It seems that the little ghosts and goblins were just at the door for treats and I finally got rid of turkey leftovers from the freezer and I now I’m already planning for Christmas. I haven’t put up the tree yet but my shopping is just about done. I try to pick up gifts when I see them throughout the year so not to feel the pressure of finding gifts in the busy season or the pinch in my wallet……
I have so much to be grateful for, not only at Thanksgiving but I thank God every day for what He does in my life. It’s amazing when you think about it really – with all that God does for us every day and it only takes a minute or two to thank Him before turning in. I rather enjoy going over the day with Jesus. He’s not only a good listener but has an amazing way of correcting me…..
Just spent seven days in Mesquite Nevada with God and several amazing Godly people. My cup is full to the brim and I am recharged. There is nothing that can compare to going on a vocation with Jesus. It was seven days soaking in the word and prayer. Sharing life’s lessons and amazing fellowship with fellow believers. Some might say that sounds boring but trust me hanging with Jesus by the pool quiet enough to hear Him speak and feeling…..
In Matthew 7:21 God speaks out to us about the danger of not seeking Him. Many people think that being a good person or just believing in God is enough, but with God it’s very personal. He created humans to have a personal and intimate relationship with Him. He is our Father and wants us to know Him and spend time with Him. There is an old phrase that’s called ‘the 18 inches from heaven’. It refers to the 18…..
The world today is unsettling and many people from all the nations are feeling the pressure and uncertainty of the future. Let me share with you just a few of the many scriptures that have help several people in troubled times. They’re scriptures that some even keep in their wallets or hang on the fridge door. Some have framed them and placed them on their night table as a reminder for them before they face another day. The book of…..
I thought for this week I would share with you a poem that an inmate gave me after chapel a few years back. We’re not permitted to take anything out of prison that we didn’t walk in with so I had to copy the poem onto a page in the front of my bible. I later had it transferred onto a photo and framed. I took it to church and sold many framed copies in the front lobby. I sent…..
