Often God’s plan doesn’t make sense to us, but as we lean into His steps instead of our own, we can trust His path is good. - Jodi Harris

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there!

Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. TEACH them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you’ll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that GOD promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth. Deuteronomy 11:19-21 MSG

I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He's always near

He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart

In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair
I know that He is leading, through all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing will come at last

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ, the King
The Hope of all who seek Him, the Help of all who find
None other is so loving, so good and kind

He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart

- I Serve a Risen Saviour

“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
‭‭{Philippians‬ ‭2:7-8‬}

Happy Good Friday!

When in the spring, the flowers are blooming bright and fair,
After the grey of winter’s gone.
Once again the lark begins his tuning,
Back in the meadows of my heart.

Lord, to my heart bring back the springtime.
Take away the cold and dark of sin.
And, Oh refill me now, sweet Holy Spirit:
May I warm and tender be again.

Lord, make me like that stream that flows so cool and clear
Down from the mountains high above;
I will tell the world the wondrous story
Of the precious stream filled with your Love.

Lord, to my heart bring back the springtime.
Take away the cold and dark of sin.
And, Oh refill me now, sweet Holy Spirit:
May I warm and tender be again.

Title: Bring Back the Springtime
Lyrics: Kurt Kaiser, 1970

Launching into a new year with renewed spiritual fitness, fervent prayer, and steadfast hope in All Mighty God.

"Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!” (‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

"HOPE is not an illusion. It is the assurance that good things are going to happen based upon the promises in God’s Word.
If your marriage is failing, if your business or finances are sinking, if your children are in trouble, if your health is at risk, there is hope in the LIVING GOD."

- Barry Borthistle

"He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love"

Wishing you and your family a very blessed Christmas.

"You may be walking through a storm,
but you're going to be okay. You may
feel like you're in over your head, but
you will make it to the other side. You
may feel like you have to be perfect to
deserve God's intervention but you're
wrong. He guards and guides you not
because you're perfect, but because He
is. You may wonder if God sees the
mess around you, and He does. He's
working out every nuance, every detail,
for your good and for His glory. You may
wonder about a lot of things, but never
wonder about His love. He's mighty to
save, powerful in love, and forever on
His throne. He is committed to you,
invested in your life, and fully prepared
to see your story all the way through to
its beautiful comoletion. Rest assured
today." - Susie Larson

"Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices, who wondrous things has done, in whom his world rejoices; who from our mothers' arms has blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us, with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us, to keep us in his grace, and guide us when perplexed, and free us from all ills of this world in the next.

All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given, the Son and Spirit blest, who reign in highest heaven the one eternal God, whom heaven and earth adore; for thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore."
