New Beginnings

"We all love to see miraculous transformations, whether it is a sports team that goes from
worst to first, a life saving surgery or even an amazing home make-overs we see on t.v.;
Anytime we want to have a change though, especially one that makes our life better, it requires
us to believe that it can happen. We have to make a choice to have hope. Most of us have found
ourselves in a place where we were on the edge of loosing something precious to us.
It all begins with a choice; the choice to never give up."

Having Strength/Faith

"Pushing on past the fear and struggle, I find a second wind of faith.What would I do without
encouragement and without the tender mercies that lift me up when I get too tired and the
load I bear seems too heavy for me? Thank you my dear father jesus for always lighten
my load and carring my burden when I call on you!!. Thanks for giving me an extra measure
of grace for this day. You're my dearest friend and companion. I love you!!!."

"'Sometimes it feels like I can't catch my breath between life's lessons, running and
straining to keep up.,but if I hold tight with strength, I can fly."

happiness

"One time when i was a child, my dad and his friend were playing the guitars together. The music called out my joy and happiness and i began to somersault and dance with no thought of anything or anyone else. Of all the human expressions of joy, dancing is perhaps the most delightful and complete. During a moment of along time, invite your joy to come out of hiding by turning up your favorite music and dancing with abandon."

May our feet be made strong; let us dance before you eternally.
"You have turned my morning into dancing;...and clothed me with joy."psalm 30:11

CHALLENGES

A new year brings a sense of fressness, of possibilities for the future,and of discoveries yet to be made. I look forward to stepping into the days ahead,knowing that you my dear father will guide me into the good purposes you have planned for my life. I ask you for an extra measure of courage, strength, optimism, and faith to meet every challenge along the way.)
