2 Corinthians 5 17-21

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Thank You Lord :)

Sing Your Praises, I can do that and I will!

Lord, You are My Strength and My Song. Help me to continue to walk with thee. Help me through my moments of anger, not to yell the way i have been lately.  Help me with Patience in this area.

Thank you Lord for all of your Glory yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny Sunday, church outside was wonderful. I am thankful I could provide lunch for Lisa and Aaron and Cerisa, as they had treated us to a yummy crockpot chicken Saturday night.

Thank you Lord for friends and neighbors like Joni! I hope she felt some love yesterday on her birthday.  She IS Loved :)

A Man Worth Waiting For

Quote:
Saturating yourself in God's Word results in exploding fireworks of joy that will keep you immune to one of Satan's brightest lures - sex.

Love this

Got my head turned round looking back
Lots of winding roads and dead end tracks
Surprising faces and distant lands
Don't know how i got here but here i am

Life is loss, love and legacy
it's heartache and mystery
It's holding on when nothing makes sense
To find the crown when you reach the end

Shattered pieces and broken dreams
Picked up and put back by hands unseen
Beauty and blessing rise out of the ash
Raining down on me now that the rain is past

Every wound and every secret, every joy and victory
Woven altogether our Redeemer Redeems

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in perfect love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love.

i can't do this alone

God I need you to hold on to me.
i try to be so tough, but i'm just not strong enough, I can't do this alone, God I Need You to Hold on to me.

Lord, Please, Help me through this. Help me to find Peace and Joy and Understanding, especially now when I am struggling to understand.

In your name I pray,
Amen.

Amazed and delighted!

What blessings you poured out on me yesterday! Starting with a certain someone reminding me to slow down and take the time to get to know someone new. Ending the night with your amazingly talented child, Josh Groban. Wow what a gift you have given him Lord! And while he didnt seem to take the time to Honor you he did seem humble about his gifts and well Lord, I Am Sure going to Praise your name for him! Thank you Lord for your presence in all I do. Thank you always for your abundant Love.
Amen!

Just Breathe

Pretty Amazing, every single breath we take goes, so often, seemingly unnoticed, and yet it is absolutely crucial to our living!
Lord, I know the past 4 years I have wasted a lot of time simply forgetting to breathe.

Thank you Lord for each breath, for the Gift of Life, and Lord help me to remember to just breathe.

Amen.

With Love and Adoration,
Mary

Blessings Abound

Lord,
What a weekend! 2 weekends actually!  Starting with my dear friend Leah taking time out of her busy busy schedule to make me a cake and hand deliver it with a special birthday wish! Thank you Lord for friends, and family alike.  Thank you Lord for Joni, Alyssa, Monica and Lexi. Thank you for Lisa, Aaron, Cerisa and baby Noel. Thank you for Tana and my co-workers too.
Lord, Thank you for parents who love me and show me that in many wonderful ways. I had a great time sharing and laughing and playing with all of my family. 5 cakes this year. When it rains, it pours. Lord, Thank you for the abundance of Love showered on me as we celebrated my 30 years of life.  I finally feel like i'm coming into my own. I can blame being the youngest of 4 for why it's taken so long!  Thank you Lord for strengthening my weakness, you have gracefully shown me the importance of patience.
Lord, I Wait with Joy and Hope for what's to come.
Amen!
