Passion Week

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday and the beginning of Passion Week. I've spent some time this last week immersed in the pages of scripture as I want to prepare my heart and mind for Easter. My heart is overwhelmed by what my Savior did for me! I love Him so much! My prayer is that your week is full of gratitude over His great love for you and that you are able to take some time to read and ponder over that amazing grace He so freely offers. If you don't know where to begin, start here and read through all the gospel accounts; of His triumphal entry, though His death and resurrection:
Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, John 12

Beautiful love!

Blessings to you as we enter this special season of Easter!

STAND!

This is something we have always tried to teach our kids. But the biggest test is will we lead by example? Don't just speak...act!

Our kids are watching.

Others are watching.

Will we be bold and take a stand for Christ even if it comes with great cost and even if we stand alone?

STAND.

“If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."

Isaiah 7:9b (NIV)

Clean by Natalie Grant

This song...

What a beautiful message of what Christ did for me!

I see shattered


You see whole


I see broken


But You see beautiful


And You're helping me to believe


You're restoring me piece by piece

There's nothing too dirty that

You can't make worthy

You wash me in mercy

I am clean.

Let all that I am wait quietly...

Taking our spot on the front porch this morning! First time in months, now that the weather is warming up! I will say this was needed for both of us! Louie got a tad bit excited when I grabbed my coffee and my Bible off the table and headed toward the front door. I think he needs this respite as much as I do. Sure, he lays around all day at home as a lazy house dog but there is just something about going out in the beautiful sunshine and laying at the feet of your master. As you can see, he is quite content!

I feel the same way! There is just something about being out in God's creation sitting at my Master's feet in anticipation for all the love and guidance He bestows on me....His daughter!! I pray, I sing, I read His Word but most times I just sit and listen. O, to be still and just KNOW that He is God!

Today, I begin in praise to my Father! I'm so thankful for His presence! I'm so thankful for His fatherly guidance and I'm so thankful for His unconditional love! He is my ROCK! He is AMAZING God!

“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone..”

Psalms 62:5-7 (NLT)

A Legacy...

A legacy....

Will it be one of passion, love and service for Christ or will it be one of compromise, comfort, and half-heartedness??

O, I pray that I leave a legacy that leads others to Christ! I desire to follow Him and serve Him only, even if that road is uncomfortable and challenging. My life is not for my comfort but for HIS glory! HE loves me & paid the ultimate sacrifice for me and now my life is ALL for HIM!

My life, my passion, my love is Jesus!

Created in His Image!

In honor of "International Women's Day"....

“Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.”

Proverbs 31:30 (NKJV)

Ladies, before you lay your head down on that pillow remember:

YOU are strong, YOU are beautiful, YOU are loved and YOU were created in the image of Almighty God! Embrace the beauty of womanhood and praise God for this high honor as you live for HIM! Hallelujah!

Facing Your Giants

What are you facing today?

David recognized that he could not fight Goliath in his own strength. He was much smaller and weaker than that giant. But what David knew was that his God was bigger and mightier than any giant with a hundred swords and spears. His trust was in God completely! He went forth into battle in God's strength and the enemy was conquered....in the name of the Lord!

Today, don't fear your "Goliath". Go at it in the name of the Lord! Trust HIM completely! Your God is bigger and He will equip you for the battle! Let's watch the giants fall today and give God the praise!

“David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”

1 Samuel 17:45 (NIV)
