Happy New Year! I can't believe it has been two months since I last blogged! With the holidays and starting a new job...I have been busy! I miss writing though. And God has been weighing a few things on my heart lately and I need to share them!
Christmas was almost not possible in my house. And you moms out there know exactly what I mean! The money wasn't there for Santa to come. I have always made sure that my daughter understands the true meaning of Christmas...but she is six and still expects Santa to come. It was one week before Christmas and a dear sister in Christ called me and asked me if she can see me. She had a pound of coffee to give me and a big Christmas hug. I just love her! She handed me a bag of groceries and a card. I started to cry right there. And then she hugged me and left...and yes she still gave me coffee. After unpacking the groceries, I opened the card. And out fell $100. I balled right there in my kitchen. I could now have Christmas. And Santa could come. I talked with her and she said God had been putting this on her and her husbands heart. And she knew she needed to do this. Needless to say Christmas morning was great! Thanks to my Christmas Angel!
It has been a rough year and my chuch family has been amazing! Absolutly amazing! I am just about caught up financially because of the love that has poured out. If there is one thing I have learned this past year is humility and how to humble myself. To accept the fact that I need help and to ask for it! I honestly believe that God answers prayers through others! God is amazing! I do not know where I would be at this time with my family if I did not know God! I learned alot this past year...yes I have. That you need to have hope and give hope. I know that one day I will be able to help another person. I didn't like being on the recieving end in a food pantry. Or the family to go to the pastor and ask for money. But God produes miracles everyday! EVERYDAY! Why wouldn't He? He is God.
On a final note...the other thing that has been on my heart is that God is so amazing that He deserves so much Praise. Just like the Word says. Praise God! Praise him with your whole heart...sing, shout, dance! Cry and laugh when you prasie God. Show your praise to God in the most special way to you! I praise God putting some praise and worship music on and singing with my heart to God! If I am in the car, at home, etc. And I feel good praising Him. Refreshed and happy. It is like God recharges me.
Happy New Year! Praise the Lord! For He is good and His mercy and grace is amazing! And we are covered by His grace!
