Happy New Year's Eve!

2018 is quickly coming to an end, it will soon become past of our past and we look forward to the future – 2019! So exciting…

“Therefore, if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)

As I reflect on my blog, trying to decide if I should go in a different direction and mix things up a little. I think it’s time to do a New Thing but I’m not sure what that looks like right now. Last year my goal was to increase my posts from 70 to 200. Well, I didn’t quite make it but I did increase to 127 posts including this one.

I love photography and a few of my favorites are featured in the photo below. I used Adobe XD to create this collage, I’ve learned to like this app a lot and have participated in several of the challenges. You can follow me on Behance if you have an Adobe account.

I did a series this month on the Celebration of Advent; Walking in My Purpose was another series I did earlier this year.

I also participated in the #Write31Days annual blogging challenge. This year I was sad to learn it was the last for this annual challenge. So, I’ll have to look elsewhere for inspiration. Here the link to Life is aJourney series which includes links to topics featured in the series.

The posts with the most visits in 2018 were: Merry Christmas, How to Study the Bible, Speak Up andSpeak Truth and God’s Invisible Hand. Other popular posts are listed below this one.

Tomorrow is a New Day and God has great plans for each of us and I’m excited to Walk in My Purpose and to Be Creative!!!

May God’s blessings be upon you, keep you safe and free from harm. May His light continue to shine upon you. May He give you the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better, the same Power to those who BELIEVE.

May 2019 bring you every desire of your heart. I am so blessed that you choose to spend time with me by reading my posts. May God shine His Light upon you and all those you care about.

Happy New Year!!! You are loved!

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
