Christmas Decorating

Today I decided to get out my Christmas tubs and start

decorating my apartment for Christmas. I was planning to

check and make sure that the Christmas lights were working so

we can hang them up outside tomorrow, but the first tub that

I opened had all of my Christmas village items in it. So I decided

that would be more fun than checking lights, so I put up the village.

Here is a picture of part of the Christmas village...I have

been collecting it for a few years but I am limited on space

so I can only put up a small portion of the village.

The next thing to uncover was my Christmas

wallhanging. Don't you just love all of the fun

stuff at Christmas time? I love all of the decorations.

Here is a picture of what I have on the table

below my wallhanging. This is what you see as you

enter my house.

And then Hubby came home from work

and brought me this beautiful poinsettia.

He didn't know I had started putting up our

Christmas decorations today. Wasn't that sweet of him???

That is the beginning of the decorating. Tomorrow, we are hopefully

going to get our tree up and the outside lights put up.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

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...

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...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore? Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again? Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry. Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry. First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be. Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you? Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life. When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you. In making...
