Christmas Shopping

Don't you just love Christmas shopping? I really like to go out and look at all the fun Christmas stuff and see what's new out there, but when it comes time to actually have to go buy presents it is not so much fun. I have a hard time to decide what I want to buy so I get discouraged and decide I will shop on another day. I love to look at all of the Christmas lights and the decorations and all of the fun toys that are in the stores. It is such a fun time of year :) Hope you are enjoying shopping and seeing all of the fun new things in your area.

Victory

Exodus 14:14 says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending. Will we be able to conquer? Will the battle plan actually work? The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop. Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard. At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us. Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God? God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations. Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life. We need to proclaim God's victory. He wrote the battle plan. He knows what your future holds. God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield. Vic...

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis. At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve. Can you imagine that? God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God." Think about that for a minute. In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth. Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God." That is such a profound statement. Can you say that about your life? No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. What is your impossible situation? What is your I need a miracle situation? I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control. We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth. We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...
