Let It Snow!

By Christina

imageJust three days away til Christmas and it is raining. Vacation begins and I have these beautiful comfy moments all to myself. Instead of the cold weather, it is still pleasant. Not that I am complaining but we are just getting rain here in NY. At this time of the year it should be snowing! It is pretty! Not so much to drive in but some weather raining down on us is actually quite lovely. Lord, I may be the first to shout it from the rooftops!

LET IT SNOW!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.
He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;
Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Psalm 148:1-8

The Fog

By Christina

imageI was driving to work today and the visibility was terrible. I could just see this BIG FOG. I know I am going in the right direction, for I have taken this route practically everyday for 15 years but based on the looks of it, doesn’t appear so safe. Speed is reduced. We proceed with caution.

I think this is how our walk is most times. Uncertainty is hanging on the balance. Questions are in the air. We seek immediate help and sometimes still come up empty. Life doesn’t seem fair. Things seem lost and forgotten.

But with God we need to keep going straight! Even when things don’t look so clear… Continue reading

The Move

By Christina

imageThe time is flying by and we are wrapping things up this last month to close out what has been such a dynamic and life changing year for me. With that is also coming a change to my location here and I am very excited. I know that God is going to be changing a lot more things and I am ready for this move. I will be moving to the city shortly as part of my career and I know God is leading me there. I am ready to put the past of this place behind me.

I am ready to move on to new venues that God has.

I am ready to explore the new ground.

I am ready to do what ever it takes to help press ahead.

I am MORE THAN READY for the move! Continue reading

How He Loves Me

By Christina

imageWhat an amazing time that we have in the presence of the Lord. We rejoice on every side while we are there. An atmosphere of worship. Songs of delight. Perfect choices – all directed to Him. There was a young woman that came to share at our church yesterday. She spoke of familiar words. “I found this worship in a very dark place of my life.” And in the darkest places where we can seem lost, is exactly where God finds us and LOVES us! It is powerful. I dropped to the ground in utter amazement at how much I know that God is with me. In the highs and in the lows. Continue reading
