Happy New Year!

Wow...2015 flew by SO quickly and it was packed with so many amazing adventures! I look back on a long--and in some ways, tough--year and am so grateful for everything the Lord allowed me to do, and all of the lessons He has been patiently teaching me.

I didn't get around to designing the graphics I wanted to for today, but a few days ago, these verses really encouraged me. As we look into a new, unknown year, may we strive to continually press forward and seek the Lord in all that we do!

Word Wednesday #87

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.  Amos 7:15
God called Amos from where he was.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1 Corinthians 1:26-27

Until the Dawn | Book Review

A mysterious old mansion. The family who returned to claim it. And the girl who refused to be kicked out of her haven.
I was swept into Sophie's tale immediately. She was a sweet and kind heroine (perhaps a little too perfect). Her part in Dierenpark was believable and unforced. It seemed natural the reasons she was allowed to stay. And then there's Quentin. He was a very interesting character whose progression from cynical to kind seemed fluent. From an analytic standpoint, his character was...

Biblically Speaking -- All Unrighteousness

Part 8 in my study on what is abomination in the sight of God.
Recap:Many believers have fallen into accepting that which is abomination in the sight of God. Unless we study God's Word to learn His Mind on what is abominable, how will we know to purge ourselves from abomination? Lord willing, I will be posting the fruits of my study on the word "abomination," but feel free to leap ahead of me and study it for yourself. What is an abomination to God?

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours...

Merry Christmas!

Merry CHRISTmas! 
I had a little time to do this graphics "just in time." One of my favorite Christmas hymns (though there are several ;)).

What is your favorite Christmas carol?

Word Wednesday #86

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.  Hosea 10:13
Read backwards: "because didst trust in thy way, ye have plowed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies." It is rooted in trusting in our own way--not God's way.

Orphan Journeys

Imagine yourself as an orphan, struggling for survival in dirty New York streets, where disease and crime run rampant. Journey from these wretched streets to a temporary lodging in an overcrowded orphanage and then to the train station. After riding the train for hours, picture yourself lining up with other children, waiting as adults look you over. Would they choose you--or would you have to hold onto the hope that maybe, at the next station, someone would want to bring you home?
