    21 Day Bible Reading Plan + Prayer & Fasting

    You can liken it to turning on a faucet, and water instantly rushing through; the only way to stop that flow would be if I were to turn the faucet off. The role I play in the depth of my relationship with God is critical. God is the living water (John 4:10); He is forever moving and springing new life.

    This is Joy.

    Watching the sunset as it paints cotton candy in the sky. Tasting the most delicious slice of freshly baked apple pie. Driving your very first vehicle. Hearing the sound of your child’s first laughter. Celebrating your birthday with someone who arrived as a special surprise. Experiencing God’s presence for the 100th time but it only gets sweeter. Reading a verse that excites the soul – every, single time. This is j o y. And God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17b) wants nothing more than for us to experience and walk in all the joys of life. Joy is to rejoice; to be glad; to…

    Just Keep Praying.

    ‘The angel said to him… “your prayer has been heard”.’ – Luke 1:13 Zechariah encountered an angel from the Lord with an answer to prayer. This happened as he was partaking in his priestly duty after being chosen by lot to enter the sanctuary to burn incense. He and his wife Elizabeth were very old and they had no children because Elizabeth was unable to conceive. All it took was for Zechariah to hear, “your prayer has been heard” and their lives were forever changed! I wonder how long he had been praying to God for a child? I can imagine this particular prayer being one he may have given…

    Under Pressure

    So my husband and I purchased a stick shift… that I did not know how to drive. Some people thought I was crazy when they found out I had a car in my drive way but was too afraid to get behind the wheel. There happened to be three peddles instead of two – and that equaled one big issue. But I was determined! I had been blessed with a new job and my husband and I were searching online for a used vehicle for me to commute with, we quickly zeroed in on two, and they both were manual transmissions. Too funny! I remember looking at my husband with…

    Oh the Places You’ll Go…

    Where has your life taken you? Did you expect to be there? Was it the greatest adventure of all time? These are all questions I have asked myself throughout the years. To date, the most exhilarating life changing decision was to move from Indiana, USA, to where my heart was, in Canada. I know what you may be thinking, it’s still a part of North America, no big deal, but in reality it was so much more than that, it was all by faith. If I really think about it, it reminds of Gods promise to Abram (soon to be Abraham) in Genesis 12:1 “Now the Lord has said to…

It's always been You! What Jesus did in my life, It's always been You!

What Jesus did in my life, 9 years ago, I could never give words for my gratitude! 😭

I had to jump on this trend...

Without Jesus I was:
broken
mean
lost
dead
selfish 
unforgiving 
depressed
prideful
lustful
A partier
bitter
destructive
manipulative
A liar
Jealous
without purpose
without identity

But WITH Jesus!!!

With Him:
I know who I am
I'm a child of God 
I'm chosen
I'm alive
I'm set free 
I'm made Holy
I'm made whole
I'm redeemed
I'm forgiven
I'm righteous
I'm justified
I'm loved
I'm adopted
I'm set apart
I'm secure
I'm wonderfully made
I'm joyful
I'm full of peace

All because He died and rose again for me!
He was without sin but became sin for me!!!!
He went to the cross for me!!

Where would I be with Jesus?! Not where I am today.. that's for sure!

This month, 9 years ago, He changed my life and I haven't looked back! I'm forever thankful!

I LOVE YOU LORD!

** this can be your story! Let Jesus change your life today 💗 DM me!

The exciting thing is that it's something we can enjoy together! 💕

The "12 Days of Christmas" carol was a fun inspiration for these "12 Days of Jesus" gifts! This blog has a few examples of the fun gifts I gave to my hubby last year! 

This simple gift idea is perfect for a spouse, a close friend, and even children - anyone who loves Jesus! 🥰
...
In a story last year, I shared the idea with very little explanation and I still got lots of DMs commenting on the idea. I knew I needed to write something for you all to experience the fun with me this Christmas! 

Check out my blog to get all the details and examples you need to enjoy the 🎁 of giving, Jesus, this Christmas.
