Welcome 2009 :)


Welcome the year 2009 and my 40th Birthday!!! My crazy birthday falls on January 2 every year and this was the FIRST time I have been HOME on my birthday in 4 years and not traveling.....It was SO wonderful to be with my family and friends to celebrate! We had a Karaoke party which was pretty hilarious if I do say so my self! I don't think I ever put down the microphone!

This morning as I was reflecting on everything and praying, I realized how AWESOME it is to be a Christian! God shows us the most amazing things in prayer. I was praying for my children and my husband and for me! I am praying great blessings for 2009 and that God will reveal to me ALL that I need to do for HIM! Sometimes, I even become overwhelmed with a need to rush out and do all I can for GOD right this second....but He has his own divine plan for me and what He wants me to do....He does for you too....although sometimes, it may feel like forever before we know WHAT IT is :)

Luke 5:12-13
While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy, When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man...."I AM WILLING" he said...... BE CLEAN! And immediately the leprosy left him........

IMMEDIATELY the Bible says, not in a few hours or a few days or even a few minutes....IMMEDIATELY! Wow....that struck me and I realized.....We must continue to be faithful to our LORD who is continually FAITHFUL to us! We must realize OUR GOD can do anything! He can heal us and perform miracles or answer even the smallest prayers....but we must first ASK HIM....

It may not always be immediately in the worlds eyes.....but, God is faithful and will secure our every need....Are you faithful to God today....Do you know what you are missing out on?? Trust in Him and HE will guide your path....and in today's crazy world.....It's the BEST news I've heard in a while!

Love in Christ,
