Most wonderful time of the year.

We have reached a time of the year when we get busy, our minds are racing with plans for the holiday. It's a great time of the year for me as well.


God wants you to enjoy the holiday season. You are so important to Him. When the pressures of the world seem overwhelming, meditate on the fact that you are not here by accident. You are here for a purpose, created in the image of God. You have the power to influence the atmosphere around you.
Set the tone for your family and loved ones by honoring and respecting them. Go the extra mile to be encouraging. Make the effort to be on time for gatherings. Stand on the common ground of peace even if you don't agree with everyone. Honor the Lord by honoring the people He has placed in your life and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year! 
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40, NIV)
Stay blessed and enjoy your holiday.

Quit blaming yourself

When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, for many years they were beaten down. Not only physically, but emotionally. They were constantly told they were no good, they couldn't do anything right, they would never measure up. Over time, they let those words steal their sense of value. They felt inferior, insecure, like they had no self-worth. When a person is being mistreated or abused, especially for a long time; instead of recognizing the other person is doing them wrong, it's easy for them to accept the blame and start thinking they deserve what's happening. Before long, they're not only ashamed of what's happening, but they start to become ashamed of who they are. That's the way the Israelites felt. That's how the enemy twists things. But after 430 years, God brought them out of the slavery, out of the abuse. Just when they were about to enter the Promised Land, God said to them, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt off of you." Re

Gods promises are more reliable to depend on, man can fail you but his word never fails.

In Scripture, when the angel visited Mary and told her that she would give birth to the Son of God, Mary had a pretty big question. She said, "How can this be seeing that I know not a man?" Mary wasn't married and had never been with a man. She was asking about the natural realm, but we can also look at this principle in a spiritual sense, too. God is saying today, "My promises are not dependent on man." You don't have to know certain people in order to fulfill your destiny. You don't have to have certain connections in the natural because the spirit of God will overshadow you to bring forth His promises. Sometimes we think, "If I could just get my boss to like me, then he'd give me that promotion. If I could just get to that certain school, then I'd be qualified. If I just had some important, influential friends, maybe I could get a good break." No, God's promises are not dependent on who you know or who you don't know. Prom
