For Today

Outside my window...It is dark, twinkling Christmas Lights from the neighbors backyard.

I am thinking...I should go to bed. It is late. Life is good.

I am thankful...for my family. Warm home. Vacations. Music

In the kitchen...Lights on. Dishes in the sink waiting to be washed.

I am wearing...Black sweater.Black pants.Socks.

I am creating...A new habit. Journaling. Memories

I am going...to bed soon.

I am wondering...what I will do tomorrow.

I am reading...blogs, getting inspired. Getting ready to start Freedom of Simplicity-Richard Foster

I am hoping...to do laundry, finish my 2011 Project Life and keeping this a habit for 2012

I am looking forward to...going to the church tomorrow, spending time with my mother and other church members, creating cards for the New Year Year for the Lunch Box Mission Shut-Ins.

I am hearing...television, furnace running, and the dryer.

Around the house...Christmas, two different Nativity Sets, pilllows

I am pondering...Simplicity

One of my favorite things...hearing "Lord of the Dance" and remembering Aunt Clarice and listening to the Bagpiper ... beautiful, beautiful music for a very spiritual, special woman of God.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Celebrating the New Year and bringing my Father In Law home!

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Faith

I have faith beyond all doubt.

If I feel unsure about the direction of my life, I take a deep breath, remembering that faith is my sure foundation. It is the basis upon which I build my life. When the winds of change are blowing and my future is unclear, I remember Jesus' words to his disciples: "If you have faith and do not doubt ... it will be done."

I stand on this promise, knowing that I have the strength of God within me. So I not only stand firm in the face of adversity, I move forward with confidence, trusting the faith that emanates from the core of my being to guide, support and encourage me. I am a messenger of God's love and an emissary for the power of faith. All things are possible.

If you have faith and do not doubt ... even if you say to this mountain, "Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will be done.--Matthew 21:21

Each morning {preferably} or evening I come to this website to be one with God, to have Sabbath, to be focused, to be a Follower, to be inspired, to listen and to be me. Today, it was the evening.  I am so amazed by God’s timing in this!  He knows our plans, our dreams, our desires, our needs and wants.  He is there for my family now more than ever!  I am grateful that I have the faith. My family has faith.  And, most of all, God has faith in each one of us!  I love this sentence from today’s devotion; “I remember Jesus' words to his disciples: "If you have faith and do not doubt ... it will be done."  Thank you God for being a loving, understanding, gentle God.  For this, I am so truly grateful!
