I'm revamping the blog. I've decided to start putting a little more time and effort into it. So, check back often and see the changes I'm making. I'll also be posting more frequently.
Thanks for stopping by!

Grandpa Ford is who my husband was named after (his middle name is Ford). My mother-in-law emailed this to me. She found it in Grandpa Ford's Bible. I love this.
For your consideration:
Fact-God's word written in the bible.
Faith-Our christian walk once we accept Jesus as our Saviour. Christianity is not just a creed; it involves action.
Feelings-Our mortal self for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.
Three people were walking along a narrow cliff wall. Their names were Fact, Faith, and Feelings. While Faith kept his eyes on Fact, who was walking in front of him, he had no problems keeping steady and walking straight. However, when he looked over his shoulder at Feelings, he began to totter and nearly fell off the cliff.
In your Christian life, you are walking along a cliff wall. You are Faith. It is most important for you that you keep your eyes on Fact. Don't look over your shoulders at Feelings. Feelings is a variable person. Sometimes he is up, and sometimes down, occasionally depressed, and often moody. But Fact is steady, reliable and unchangeable.
As you keep your eyes on Fact, you find he as three parts to him:
1. The FACT that Christ is risen and alive. this is a matter of history.
2. The FACT that this risen Christ has pledge His word that, if you open the door of your heart to Him, He will come in. REV. 3:20
3. The FACT that you have now opened that door. Therefore, He has come in and is with you forever. Claim it, Believe it, and you will Know it!
So remember! Don't look over that shoulder!
It's amazing how God will put even the smallest things into our lives to give us comfort. This morning, I got to go to church for probably the last time for a few weeks. I'm having our second son by C-section Tuesday morning, so I'll be out for a few weeks recovering. My husband and I have had some anxieties as we approach the big day, as anyone would. But this morning, we sang the song "Because He Lives" at church. We've sung this song many times in worship before, but it never has struck me quite the way it did this morning. Here are the words that really hit me...
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
Chorus:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
How amazing is it that we sang this song, that speaks of the assurance Jesus gives us for our children right before I go to have my baby? I was so amazed. I felt like God put that song there just for me and my husband this morning. When we sang that part, my husband squeezed my hand and I was filled with a calming comfort from the Lord. Praise God, He LIVES!

I challenge you to slow down today and look around at God's amazing artwork. There is so much beauty around us and we often get too busy to notice. He has blessed us with so many beautiful creations.
P.S. The first place you can find one of his beautiful creations is in a mirror.
