Train ticket when you need it

Jesus stopped by today, he knew what I needed. Someone in the flesh to remind me he is in control, he's got this! This mountain I am climbing is not too tall for Him to walk beside, encourage, or carry me. And that I can always trust that He loves me and will see me through this time. What the other side of this mountain/tunnel looks like might not be what I envisioned, but for God's glory.  My pastor showed me Jesus' light will be there at my front door stop like today, and every day I need him! I just have to open my eyes to all the many people he has blessed me with!

Sharing this story of Corrie Ten Boom, a Holocaust survivor, was just the thing I needed. Thank you past K*, I am so thankful for your love of Christ, and his people!

All of God's people say... AMEN!

Precept to live by

I preach this motto to my kids often when they smart-mouth their siblings. Watching this movie tonight makes me wish, pray for more ppl to get this concept! This train of thought would make our world such a better place! Next time you feel you have to "win"  at politics, relationships, faith, etc.. etc.. etc... Give this precept a chance to transform your words and actions! We all have our worldviews. The phrase "Walk a mile in their shoes" should be reviewed often. It's up to us parents to change the future with purpose and love. 

Shout out to all of God's people, WE ARE BROKEN!

We are all broken! God will not love you more for what you have done today, God will not love you less for what you have done today. Today, the past, or the future, God loves you to to the moon and back! Silly little Nuttbrown hair, your Father will always love you more!

My Funny Valentine

Bit of background, the meaning of this song for me.. I learned and sang this song through my high school Jazz Choir (an elite group of singers who I was proud to be apart of). The teacher of this group who was also the symphonic choir teacher taught me and our class the Lord's Prayer through song. I didn't know how important that prayer would later be in my life when I finally came to Christ.  It was then I realized God was working through others to plant that seed in my heart, the seed of prayer and love. This song, for me, reminds me of God's perfect love for us! You and I,  are his favorite work of art!
