It's A Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood!!

I love spring! The weather has been so nice out lately, that being in the house is almost depressing. I love when the weather starts warming up, the birds begin to sing, and the flowers start blooming...nothing compares to this time of year! God has such perfect timing, because it always seems like just when I can't take another winter day, He brings me spring! He puts away the cloudy skies and gray, cold weather, and brings out the sun. He wakes up the birds and they sing Him praise. He causes the wildflowers, that color the roadside, to bloom, and fill the world with character. Only He can do these things, and why? Why does He give us spring?...I think it's because He loves us so! All the little details He puts in to this season go to show that we have a Great and Awesome Creator that loves to bless us with gifts of sunshine, warm breezes, birds singing, and flowers beginning to blooming, and all these gifts reflect His Glory. What a Beautiful God we serve!

Don't Say It...

Today in church, our Pastor made a statement that caught my attention, and will probably echo through my mind forever. What did he say?..."Christians never say can't, because they know that with Christ all things are possible" It got me thinking of all the times I say "I can't". I can't face that person right now. I can't overcome that sin, it's too big. And I can't possibly ever be the Godly woman God has called me to be, I have strayed way to far to turn back now. WRONG! I can. I can face that person, overcome that sin, and be the godly woman I'm called to be, because of Christ.

We as Christians aren't called to be failures, but to to be conquerors. Romans 8:37 says "in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us".
