Knowing the word of God

Welcome 2019! Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I, for one, am exhausted! LOL On top of the holidays, the end of December also comes with birthdays for two of my teenage daughters!! While I enjoyed the holidays immensely, I am really happy to be getting back to life as normal! There are some exciting things happening for our family this year and I cannot wait to share each of them with you when the time is right!! My Word for 2019 One of the things I see a lot of people doing is choosing a word for the new year! I chose the word "rest". I have anxiety and I have a tendency to not only worry but to try to handle things and fix them! I need to learn to just rest in the knowledge that God has it all under control and I can just breathe and not feel I have to deal with everything and strive to fix everything and I don't need to worry about things that haven't even happened yet (imaginings!!) As I mentioned in December's Newsletter I am also excited because I have decided to focus on goals in 2019! As a blogger, it can be all too easy to focus on your ministry and lose focus of what you need to be doing for yourself! It is the same if you are a parent, a business owner...we can let our own needs slide. We need to look out for our own faith health as well and so I am setting goals to help me to focus on that so that I don't neglect my own growth. It is like the airplane speech...put the mask on yourself before assisting others. Arabah Joy's Grace Goals is one of the ways I am doing that! And it is never too late to jump in! Grace Goals I made the (very) small investment into Arabah Joy's Grace Goals program! It doesn't just help you focus on your spiritual goals, but life goals as well! Whether that be getting healthy, spending more time with family, anything! Through a series of step-by-step workshops and exercises, Grace Goals will show you how to work in conjunction with the Spirit of God to fulfill the desires He’s placed in your heart. It's a biblical process for total life transformation. I cannot recommend it enough and I am so excited to get to work on it!!

Walking with Jesus I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour in August 2016. When this journey just began, I was not where I needed to be, I was still doing a lot of things that had me being disobedient to God. I didn’t understood much of the bible, I was in a place where I know I needed help, and I felt that going to church would make everything okay right away, I never knew it would have a been a learning process. I was in and out of jobs, I was lonely, unhappy, bitter, confused, a culprit and basically lawless. I was really broken, I needed a strong foundation, a needed love, I needed peace, and I needed to know who I was. At this point of my life, I really wanted to come home. I had no money saved, was living in a house where a shared utilities and bathroom. My Bill’s where paid by the help of family and whatever assignments I would get to do. I was a Certified Nursing Assistant at the time. God knew my heart, he knew I wanted to go home, because it was a desire of...

Jesus the Lord thy God; where would we be without saving grace? Grace is the reason why we are here, God's unmerited favor of love that has no end. Do you believe that God's promises will come true? Do you believe that he loves you? Do you want to know him as you should? Grace is the reason why we have the opportunity to live in God. Lets' rest in this truth; what Jesus did on the cross made us free from the bondage of the flesh. He was crucified in the flesh to justify the sinner through his spirit. (He died in the flesh and rose in the spirit). "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" (1 Peter 3:18). If you would love to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this prayer. Jesus, I thank you for taking my place on the cross. I believe in the finished works of the cross and I accept you in my heart today as my Lord and Savior.

The goodness of God gave us life and hope. Where would we be without the goodness of God? His goodness place us before him; he took no thought for his life when he laid it done to death for us. "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16). The goodness of our God is the only reason we are here on this day; his unmerited favor of love towards us was before we entered this world. "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" (Ephesians 1:4). God's goodness will never run out, it is everlasting as he is. Let's focus on his goodness always and give thanks.
