Red Cup Thanks

By Christina

imageI love this red cup at Starbucks! It is my favorite color, so I don’t care what is written on it, I just love the color in general. RED! So much to be thankful for and what that color symbolizes. When many are fussing over the most meaningless issues, let’s give thanks for so much more.

I proudly picked up my cup today on my way to celebrate 15 years of service at my job in the area of Human Resources. It has been a journey.  My husband and I also cerebrated our 2nd year as lead pastors for our church. Both humbling experiences.

For The Veteran

Joel 2:25-26 NKJV

All That Glitters

By Christina

imageI love those great moments, when you just go to bed smiling because of the peace and joy from God. And from all the good stuff being showered your way. Yes, it cancels out the bad! It cancels out the lies. It cancels out all the past sleepless nights. It cancels out the whispers of the enemy because My God is roaring out His truth in every way. For this enemy of mine–oh so many times has TRIED to destroy my family. Has TRIED to destroy my church. Has TRIED to destroy my peace–my mind–my soul– and my whole relationship with God!
