A little bit of fall and a little bit of Christmas

A little bit of fall and a little bit of Christmas sparkle, it seems appropriate for this first day of December.
I stepped into Autumn with great excitement as I always do. The anticipation of what was to come felt hopeful.
And then the plug was pulled and life happened and the hope of all things being made new seemed to circle the drain. Has that happened to you beloved?
You start to Hope and then more hardship appears on the horizon.
Perhaps it happens when we aren’t fixing our eyes on the one who is HOPE but instead on what we “hope” will come to pass.
“Without becoming weak in faith, he contemplated his own body….. now as good as dead… yet with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief.” Rom. 4:19-20
Abraham did it.
He looked at himself and saw the great LACK to be able to bring about the promises of God.
But He didn’t get stuck there.
Then he lifted up His eyes to the ONE who is Hope and he did not waver in unbelief.
If life has come at you full force dear ones, and the anticipation of what is to come feels like dread instead of HOPE, come with me.
Turn your eyes away from your body as good as dead and lift them up to our Savior, the long awaited Immanuel, God with us. ❤️

‘’Tis Mercy All” hangs in my bathroom. I see

‘’Tis Mercy All” hangs in my bathroom. I see it everyday and yet I forget that living a life of faith often requires “walking by faith,” NOT by sight.
Then His Word reminds me, trusting in Christ is a privilege NOT a right and even our faith in Him is a gift!
It’s true, “’Tis Mercy All!”❤️
Happy Thanksgiving to those who are walking. Whether today looks like a faith walk or you can actually SEE His goodness, keep walking!

“We were created to live in a real, heart-grippi

“We were created to live in a real, heart-gripping, agenda-setting, behavior forming awe of God.
But other awes kidnap our hearts.
Awe of creation, awe of other people, and awe of ourselves shove the awe of God out of our hearts.
So, we need grace to see again, to tremble again, and to bow down again at the feet of the One who deserves our awe.” - Paul David Tripp
Meditating on this today and letting the awe of God transform my heart.❤️
What thought is filling your heart today friends?

I was reading in 1 Cor. 9 where Paul talked about plowing in hope.

Here is my question....

What are you plowing in the soil of your heart beloved?

We serve a God of ALL hope.

Maybe life doesn’t look all that hopeful for you. Or maybe it’s mostly great but there’s that one thing you just can’t seem to dig up “hope” for.

Dear ones,

Hope is not a lack of sorrow. It is not ignoring the fact that something in your life is hard. That’s pretending.

Hope is looking up beyond the sorrow to the future joy. It is anchoring our souls in Jesus so we can face today and move forward into tomorrow.

So plow up the soil of your heart with Hope. Then wait for the harvest. ❤️

God desires to meet us smack dab in the middle of ALL of it!
We may not get to choose what life throws at us but we can certainly choose how we think about those things.
We can take every thought captive.
We can fix our eyes on Jesus,
And we can choose to let His love and peace fill our hearts. ❤️

I see weariness all around me and we’re are a li

I see weariness all around me and we’re are a little desperate.
I know you see it too.
I see it in the frazzled mom at school drop off, toddler pinned to her side trying to make sure her older child has what they need for their day.
I see it in the drive-through worker who can’t bring themselves to smile or even meet my eyes.
Or, in the person behind me in traffic laying on their horn if I don’t jump at the first sign of the light turning green
I even see it in myself as I drag my body out the door at the end of a long day of work to walk, because it’s the right thing to do.
But weariness doesn’t just come to our bodies it can also come to our souls.
That’s the kind of weary that has become abundant. It’s everywhere we look.
And it’s often hidden in sighs that come from the deepest places, in empty eyes, impatient responses, and bodies that can’t sleep at night.

How in the world can we rejoice my friends when we are worn so thin, so very weary of all that the world is slinging our way?
It’s been almost 2 years since this book came out on Amazon and I’m thinking it’s time for me to review what God taught me the first time.
How about you friend?
Is your weary soul in need of rejoicing? ❤️
