Take The Challenge

Greetings from Colorado!  It’s snowing outside right now and it’s so beautiful!

This season is one of thankfulness and giving!  It’s an amazing time of year, but I want it to be even more amazing in your lives.  I have found in every situation, if I can help someone to experience the Love of God, they will see great changes in their lives.  It says in I John 4:19, in The Message, “First we were loved, now we love.  He loved us first.”  God’s love is the most amazing gift we have ever been given, but how often do we spend time simply meditation on that love?

As much as I want all of us to be thankful, giving people, I’m going to issue a challenge to you today that may seem a bit selfish.  My challenge is this.  I want you to to spend 10 minutes a day every day for the month of December meditating on how much God loves you!  Seriously, sit with your tea, coffee or whatever, and go over in your mind how much He loves you, and how many ways He shows you!  Whether you think about Jesus loving you so much that He died for your sins or the beauty God created around you, just focus on His love!

I’m going to be doing this with you!   I know that if we will let our precious Lord love on us this season, we will be more loving, more giving, and more thankful, (not as selfish as it seems).

So beginning December 1st, morning, noon, or night it doesn’t matter, take 10 minutes and think on how much God loves you!  There’s one more thing, please let me know if you are going to accept the challenge.  I want to hear from you about what’s happening as you make time for God’s love in your life.  Please write and tell me what wonderful things are happening in your heart as you experience His great love!  I will posting some of your stories on the website!

May this be the best Christmas you’ve ever had, wrapped warmly in the Love of God!

Hiking Our First Fourteener

This weekend my husband, new puppy, and I hiked our first fourteener. A fourteener, for those who may not know is a mountain 14,000 ft. or above. It was a long, hard hike!

One of the reasons we moved to Colorado is to enjoy our lives and get out of the rat race. As we were hiking I realized this was not going to be a quick trip. It hit me somewhere along the trip that I was determined to get to the summit, but was forgetting to enjoy the journey. When I stopped and looked I was overwhelmed with the beauty around me.

We tend to live our lives like that, always focused on the goal of getting somewhere instead of enjoying the journey. Someone told me once that life is a marathon, not a sprint, yet we sprint day after day.

Every single day, God gives us a sunrise and a sunset. He puts things before us to behold His incredible beauty. Those things are love notes from the Father.

Tomorrow as you start your day, take a moment and see the gifts God puts before you. Yours may be the sweetness of your child, the rainbow after the rain, the kindness of another, or the millions of other things that could bring a smile to your face. God wants to bless you, love you and show you His great beauty.

Whatever mountain you are climbing, stop and take in the beauty of His great love for you! His love alone is so beautiful! Yours may not be a fourteener, but keep your eyes open to see whatever handfuls on purpose God puts before you each day. Remember, no matter what mountain you’re climbing, you are never alone! He has you in the palm of His great hand!

Decide today to enjoy the journey!

Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams!

After moving to Colorado in September, I had no idea how God was going to continue to use me or the ministry. The move itself was an incredible “dream come true”, but I remember wondering if the dream of a book published, or helping others get past their past would die. God knows exactly what we need! I had little understanding of how much rest I needed due to the year I had before the move. Probably a bit like your life, I was being pulled in so many different directions,
