A Year’s Review

Our internet connection was a little more stable this afternoon, and I was able to write this post!
Enjoy!
I have never written a “Year Review” post before, but I thought it would be fun to compile some memories!
 
I also want to express my thankfulness to my Lord for how He has blessed me, exceedingly, abundantly, beyond [...]

Stay tuned… :)

He made a way

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

 
But God displayed His mercy
The greatest gift of love
 
When we could not reach Heaven
Heaven came to us!

He made a way in a manger

A thought…

When your weary heart is tired,
If the world would leave you uninspired;
When the storms of life are strong,
When you’re wounded, when you don’t belong…

-”The Blessing”

Cry to Jesus!

 
“O God, You are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for You…”

Psalm 61:1

He was born…

…to wear my thorns.
 

A lady sang this gorgeous song at a Christmas program we attended today. The lyrics are simply stunning! Please take the time to read them. They are beautiful!
 
 
There’s a Rose in Bethlehem, with a beauty quite divine,
Perfect in this world of sin, on this silent, holy night.

There’s a fragrance much like hope [...]

His love never changes

“For great is His love toward us…”
-Psalm 117:2

On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. The great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not.

It is not wearied by our sins,
or our indifference;

and therefore, [...]

Through His lowliness

Christmastime…is the season in which it is most appropriate — and most hopeful — to remember our fragility, our dependency, and the great reversal of the kingdom of God:
“But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong” (1 Corinthians [...]

The hanging of the greens

Yesterday was “Decorating Day” at our house! Quite late, don’t you think? We’ve been gone so much during the past few weeks, this has been the first time to do it!
Every year when we pull out our Christmas decorations, it feels like they’re new all over again!

God’s perfect mirror

“Be perfect…as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Matthew 5:48 
 
The command “Be ye perfect” is not…a command to do the impossible.  He is going to make us into creatures that can obey that command.
If we let Him
– for we can prevent Him if we choose –
He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a
dazzling,
radiant,

His fuel

Give me the love that leads the way,
The faith that nothing can dismay,
The hope no dissapointments tire,
The passion that will burn like fire.
Let me not sink to be a clod,
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.
-Amy Carmichael
