Not Just a Number..

Image
I was wondering what to write that would cover not only the Christmas season that is slowly unwinding, but also the soon approaching end of the year as well as what is to come for the next.  It made me realize that it is and always will be all about Jesus.  If Christmas is not about Him being born to die for us, then no tomorrow or next year can bring a good future. I can spend a lot of time telling you about the amazing life changing things I have learned this year - and yes I am in the process of uncovering an abundance of the “more” which is the reason why I started this blog in the first place - but mostly this year was about unlearning things that didn’t represent Jesus or the Father in the right way.  The Lord helped to heal and cleanse and purge my heart from lies and half truths about His character, why He came and who He wants to be in my life.   It is so important to evict these lies and remove the half-truths and prevent them from renting any further...

Finished Work - Take Him At His Word!

Image
A few days ago, I found myself with thoughts of despair which I left unchecked. This was a mistake as we always have a choice of what we think on.  I allowed my body and my circumstances to talk to me - rather than the truth in the Word - and that is never a good thing.  This conversation made me feel hopeless - like the distance to victory is a long and difficult hike vs the short step it will take to just give up.  Somehow defeat seemed quicker and easier.  It is like gravity can just help you freefall down the staircase into darkness without any real effort.  Fortunately, past experience has taught me that the difference between defeat and victory is only one thought away and it is always within my control.  Also, knowing that I have my Heavenly Father’s DNA helped me to get my focus back on victory.   1 John 5:4-8 NKJV -  4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5...
