I’ve shared the three resolutions I chose for 2008, and now I am going to share what the Lord has laid on my heart for 2009.
These are three areas in which I know I need improvement. I guess they could be called My New Year’s Resolutions. With the Lord’s help, they are going to change [...]

A look back at 2008
Posted in Answers to prayer, HeartThoughts, Holidays on January 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As 2008 came to a close, I began to reflect on all the things the Lord has been teaching me this past year. I would like to share some of these things with you.
One year ago, at the dawning of 2008, I chose three areas in my life to work on specifically last year. I [...]

The mystery of the Hypostatic Union
Posted in HeartThoughts, Holidays on December 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in [...]
Will we be sleeping when He comes?
Posted in Holidays on December 23, 2008 | Comments Off
Oh little town of Bethlehem, looks like another silent night.
Above your deep and dreamless sleep, a giant star lights up the sky.
And while you’re lying in the dark, there shines an everlasting light;
For the King has left His throne, and is sleeping in a manger tonight.
While you were sleeping.
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you [...]
A Manger, a Cross, and a Tomb
Posted in HeartThoughts, Holidays on December 21, 2008 | Comments Off
The way of the manger led to the Cross. Christ knew this before He came as a baby, and yet He came anyway.
But, the way of the manger also leads to the Tomb!
LIFE – he was born,
DEATH — on the cross, and
LIFE ANEW – resurrection!
This can be the same for each of us if we choose [...]

Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul;
Thank You, Lord, for making me whole.
Thank You, Lord, for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so full and free!

Why do we make a big deal of Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, but don’t think twice about Thanksgiving’s Eve?

A Year’s Review
Posted in Family, HeartThoughts, Holidays, Informative, Seasons on December 29, 2007 | 12 Comments »
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 [...]

He made a way
Posted in Holidays, Seasons on December 21, 2007 | 5 Comments »
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 [...]
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 [...]

Jesus, You be lifted high in my life, And I fall to my knees, So it's You that they see,
Not I.
Jesus, You be lifted high!
