IT'S CHRISTMAS!! :)

Happy Birthday JESUS!!! :) Thank you for the gift of Salvation! I love and appreciate your sacrificial, unconditional love in Jesus Name! :) Yesterday, I had a few thoughts which I wanted to share with you! :)

1. I am SOOO thankful Jesus gave His Gift ON the Cross and NOT under it! I appreciate our symbolic following to give one another gifts as Christ did. Reaching for a present to unwrap under the tree each year makes me appreciate the gift of Salvation that I had to reach up for just one time! "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1).

2. I am also Very thankful that Jesus didn't just stay a baby in a lowly manger! He grew up to become a mighty, majestic King, the heir to His Heavenly Father's throne! Praise the Lord! :) God's Word says that WE are joint heirs with Christ; Praise the Lord that God has a BIG perfect plan for each of us just as He did for Christ Jesus, our PERSONAL Lord and Savior!

The Lord is definitely stretching and teaching me to be strong and confident in HIS Will for ME although others' live are changing and growing. I have to confident that His plans for me will come true as He has Promised! I love the Lord and Pray to walk in His Holy Spirit and Confident and Security today in Jesus Name! I pray blessings, mercy, grace, joy, peace, and the Love of Christ over you all! God Bless you all today on a National Holiday to Celebrate the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ! Yay! Happy Birthday Jesus! I love you first and foremost! :)

Always a Sister in Christ,

Girls Day :)

Well, I had a great day at home and shopping with my mom. We went to Woodgrill for lunch (a really yummy buffet) then Walmart and a Christian bookstore. I was also able to visit some of the people from the previous Hotel that I worked at. Today was a good day, I was pretty tired by the time we got home this evening. I finally finished up my Christmas SHOPPING YAYAYAYAY!! :) Thank you Jesus! Once mom and I got home from shopping, we wrapped the rest of the gifts! :) We also took family pictures in front of the Christmas tree! :) I am thankful for family time this week and time with the Mertus family next week! :) Jesus Bless this Christmas Break!

Don't forget that this is a season to Honor and Celebrate Jesus' birth collectively as one body of Christ. I am SO thankful to have a Father in Heaven, Savior, and Holy Spirit to love me and guide me into His perfect will. Even when I don't always see or understand how things will work out, I trust in the Lord for His protection and peace in Jesus Name! May the Lord bless and keep you through this Christmas season! Love you All!! :) God Bless you :)

God Speaks

I love how the Lord just speaks to me in subtle ways each day! I love the Lord and His righteousness! I had written the references to two verses, each on a separate sticky note, so that I would remember to write out the full scripture. Those two sticky notes have been sitting on my desk for a while now and have been pushed around in the midst of other papers starting to clutter and pile up. This evening when I spent time with Jesus I decided to look up those passages and write them out onto the sticky notes so that they can be placed somewhere randomly for me to see each day. The first verse that I wrote out definitely was divine appointment from the Lord! God is really teaching me to serve and keep Him first while waiting for the promises He has designed. The verse is 2 Peter 3:8-9, "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." OH PRAISE THE LORD! Thank you Father God for your magnificent, wonderful promises in Jesus Name! :) I am SO thankful that I can trust in YOU! Because you will NEVER leave or forsake me! I praise you! Thank you Father God! In Jesus Name! :)

I just want to encourage you to wait on God's promises! His perfect timing is EVERYTHING! He may give you a promise and fulfill it days, weeks, months, or even years later! Just trust in what you KNOW God has spoken to you! :) Pray for peace, confidence, and agreement with HIS perfect Will in Jesus Name! :) Love you all! God Bless you! :) Be encouraged!

Always a Sister in Christ,
ME :)
