Have A Blessed & Merry Christmas
As we are settling into our new place this holiday season we have been met with some challenges that we had to overcome. Although we have reached a place of peace and understanding, the days still are very challenging. There's a lot for this family to catch up on.
DH and are starting our own ministry beginning this new year. We will be ministering to married couples through our church. We are very excited about the prospect and the adventure of what God will do. However, we too still need to live day by. We are human.
We want the same things that everyone else wants. We have to work just as hard for what we get as do everyone else. Just because we are Christian it does not change my life purse until I change me. When I allow the teachings and meditations on the word of God guide me then I know I will change as I try to line up my life with what God has said and declared.
But as the new year approaches it brings with it the promise of a new start for us, a new beginning. Another stage of our lives, our family and our marriage. It's never just one thing. One thing sets off a ripple effect. Very seldom can you change in one area and not have other areas affect by that change also.
So for now we will settle into having a thankful and grateful Christmas this year for where we all are today. Things are not where they should be or need to be, but this year we really can a have a peaceful and blessed Christmas with family. This year has been hard on all of us and now we can see where God really did see us through, even when wanted to have our little fits. (You know, them temper tantrum that kids have when they can't have their way.)
But what I love about God is that I can have my little temper tantrum as if I was a child which I am and he understands that. He understands that there will be times when we cave in under the pressure. He understand our short coming and the depravity of mankind, humankind. That's why he gave us his love his grace and his mercy. There's nothing I can do to save myself no matter how much I may try. I am still limited in what I can do and even comprehend.
So as I continue to post and write you will learn more about my God, my life and my world. It's the only thing I have to offer as a legacy to who ever will read what is posted here. I am not interested in having everyone read or follow this blog and website. I am only interested in reaching those who are like minded, they think like I do they see things from a very peculiar perspective on life and faith.
