God is Faithful...

Well well, look who's blogging! :)

 I hope you all have had a lovely summer. I certainly have! God has been so good to my family and I. It's been amazing to see His great love and provision for us.

One of my summer highlights was:

Finding out I was going to be a big sister yet again!

My Mom is expecting baby #14! :)

She is due late February/early March.

Can anyone say excited?! God is amazing!

Faith & I in KY

See? even Faith is excited! :)

I need to sign off now. May God bless you richly!

Around here everyone is scurrying from here to there, sewing, shopping, wrapping, blaring Christmas music, and trying to keep all their gifts secret. While reading through Luke, I'm reminded of God's amazing love for us, by sending His Son to save us. I definitely think it is indeed the most wonderful time of year! :)  

Wishing you a very very merry Christmas!

a promise...

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

God never made a promise that was too good to be true

Dwight L. Moody

Dwell in God's never ending love today

                                                    Live fully in Him, today

                                                                               Shine His light today!

gratitude

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

psalm 100:4

Spring is here, wether is getting warmer, and I am getting back to blogging. Things have been very busy around here, having church families over, a piano recital, everyday dishes school, and most recently, the huge task of season switching all of our clothes! :)  Still I thought I would update-after being away for a month...and once again, I'll try to keep on top of it!

"Gratitude is a lifestyle. A hard-fought, grace-infused, biblical lifestyle. Is the gratitude that flows out of your life as abounding as the grace that has flowed into your life? When we give out of gratitude to God, we cause gratitude to well up in others' hearts."  -Nancy Leigh Demoss from her book Choosing Graditude, Your Journey to Joy.

In life, how often do we choose, really choose to be grateful? Do we only do it when everything is going our way? Do we thank Him in the dark times, when everything seems to be falling apart? 

Often we are thankful, but do we actually take time to thank Him? 

Take time to really thank Him, for everything He's done for you. It really helps me when I get 'me-focused'! :)
