As the year draws to a
close I am thankful. This month I have been particularly busy as all my
children have been in and out celebrating the holidays with my husband and me
so my empty nest has been a-buzz with activity, and while I write primarily for
their benefit, I am thankful for you too dear readers.
I wanted to take a moment
to thank those of you who have reached out to me via email, and those of you
who silently visit my blog, daily. I am humbled at how many of you there are
and from how far away you come. I know that I am not one of those bloggers who
write every day and sometimes my posts are few and f-a-r between but you keep
coming back and I hope that the Lord blesses you with what He gives me to
share. As always He pricks my heart first…
I am super excited about an
upcoming event on my blog, I have asked a dear friend to share her story, and
she has agreed to do so. Those of you who know me, or who have been reading a
while know that I just finished leading a study on Respectable Sins, and the
upcoming blog will be in an interview format concerning a sin that my friend
was overtaken by, and how she overcame it.
My blog is dedicated to
growth…my growth, my children’s growth, your growth, and understanding how to
better love one another with the love and compassion of Christ. He ate with the
vilest of the sinners, because that’s all there were was sinners. The Pharisees
couldn’t wrap their minds around that, that’s why He called them white washed
tombs. They prettied up the outside, while inside they were filled with all
manner of vileness. They thought they were “ok”, and pointed at those they
thought were the vilest among them, never realizing that they were the ones who
were the vilest by refusing to examine their own hearts.
We WILL struggle against
the sin within as long as we are breathing on this earth, but we don’t have to
be ruled by it. Every day we can choose peace, because the King of Peace came
in the flesh to make peace between God and man.
So from our family to yours…may
2014 find you an overcomer, may you choose peace instead of war with your
enemies and may you remember that joy does not depend on your circumstances, it
is an unshakable thing, found in Christ.
XOXO
