My Blessings


I am free to be me!!

One of my favorite songs is Free to be Me by Francesca Battistelli.  It is a song that talks about me being free in Christ to be whom he created me to be.  Not how he created anyone else on the earth.  He takes joy in all my strange quirks and wierd ways that I am. He knows that he can turn my quirks into a great witness for him.  He can use me to touch someone in a way that no other person will be able to. I read a poem entitled My Identity in Christ.  It says so much about us as a person and exactly how the King of Kings feels about who he made.  I hope you enjoying reading it.  Remember be Free in Christ Jesus!!
My Identity in Christ
Because of Christ's redemption, I am a new creation of great worth.
I am deeply loved, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, totally accepted by God,
and absoluetly complete in Christ. There has never been another person like me,
in the history of mankind, nor will there ever be.  God has made me an original, one of a kind,
really SOMEBODY!!!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you can say that it is a "Happy" New Year even though last year might have been hard for you.  Don't forget that my God is good and he has great blessings in store for you this year.  I am sooooo excited about 2011!  I don't really know why, other than the fact that I serve a great God and he only has the best in store for me.  Wow! That takes my breath away. Even if no one else would have been born on the Earth but you Christ still would have made the ultimate sacrifice for just you.
Let's remember in this coming year to encourage our sista's.  Sometimes we get caught up in our everyday lives and forget that if we just speak one word of encouragement to someone it could totally change their day.  Remember what God says in his word
1 Thessalonians 5:11
“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” (NLT)
