Christmas begins with Christ!

This simple truth resonates within my heart. Kindness and love shared with others bring great joys. Recently I have struggled with worries that have left me sleepless. God benevolently sent me friends and patient parents whose kindness, testimony, and acts of love left me completely humbled. The truth of hope through their words and actions reminding me that when our focus is on Jesus there is no room for anything but Peace. Today as we celebrate the gift of Jesus, I pray each of you will find LOVE, JOY, PEACE , and HOPE . Merry Christmas dear friends!!

Dear friends,

It has been a very long time since I shared my journey. Life has been extremely complicated for everyone. It is easy to be silent and overwhelmed, when, so much division, hatred, dishonesty, and tragedy surround our world. I have struggled to completely know the Peace I have sought through prayer.

Over these past few years, there are three women who have inspired me on my journey for Peace. They have taught me to TRUST the process. To wait patiently while God works. His control is absolute and his timing is not for my understanding nor for my happiness.

However, he is and always will be LOVING, FAITHFUL, and TRUSTWORTHY.

I have witnessed how these women’s actions of faith, kindness, and building of relationships have changed others’ lives. A gentle greeting to someone in distress, a kind word at a gas station, a discussion about God in a restaurant or a grocery store, a prayer for someone at a doctor’s office or hospital, a conversation on an airplane, etc. These simple actions of God’s Love changed the lives these women touched through his Grace and Truth. They gave hope to the hopeless, comforted the distressed, showed God’s Peace to those in the middle of the storm.

As we go into Thanksgiving, I hope each of you will find Peace, Love, and Gratitude despite the storms that may surround you. Know God is working in your live, placing others to lift you up, to pray for you and to show you his LOVE. I am truly GRATEFUL!! Happy Thanksgiving my friends!

Jeremiah 17: 7-8 NIV
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
