2018 in the year of our Lord ...

blessings on your 2018 ... may old dreams be realized and new dreams be found ... and may God be the centre of them all ... 

2018 is almost here ....

it's the in between days ... Christmas tinsel will soon be put away - and the new year will be upon us ... this verse from Philippians 1:6 encourages me to just keep walking in Jesus ... one day it will all be finished and "the day of Christ Jesus" will have begun ... 

Greatest need ...

“If our greatest need had been information, 
God would have sent an educator.
If our greatest need had been technology, 
God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money, 
God would have sent us an economist.
But since our greatest need was forgiveness, 
God sent us a Savior.”

excerpt from "In the Manger" by Max Lucado

step by step, God planned our redemption!

i like this verse for Christmas ... and i like the colour red at this time of year as well ... because it also stands for the blood shed for us ... another evening when i just needed to make a poster ... thankful that JESUS is the real celebration of this season ... :)

Angels we have heard on high ... tis the season for miracles!

That first Christmas was a miracle ... witnessed first by the poor, meek and unknown of the world ... yet what an impact on history ... what an impact on humanity ... and most amazingly what an individual impact  .. thank you JESUS ... we again await the celebration of Angels singing, as the echoes of mercy have rocked through time and space all these years ... and in eternity to come!

in the days to come ...

God is also a bridge over the chasm that divides us from Him ... the "Way Maker" in our world of trouble ... and the Safe Haven in the days to come ... He IS our Everything!
