5 Things I Love About the Holidays

1.The Food
    Alright, so I DO NOT exaggerate when I say FOOD IS LIFE! But there's just something about food during the Holidays that makes it that much more special. It's like the one time of year you have turkey, dressing, and every dessert ever invented in Grandmas kitchen. Guess you could say I gain about 10 pounds around this time of year because of all the cheese cake.

2.The Flavors
   Peppermint, Gingerbread, Pumpkin Spice, Chestnut Praline, etc., you name it, usually Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts has it! Although the lines are ALWAYS long, because of us basic white girls, it's definitely worth it. I think my favorite drink will forever be peppermint mocha! It's like a big'ole cup of Christmas.

3.Christmas Lights 
    I absolutely love, love, love, Christmas lights. I feel like a little baby seeing a fan spin for the first time! (Maybe that's a tweek bit over-exaggerated) But they're amazing, and my family goes to see lights at least 10 times every year. We could probably be a family from Who-ville with all the Christmas lights we put up.

4.Christmas Shopping 
    I'm not usually too big a fan of shopping, but I love finding out what my friends and family want for Christmas and searching for it. We take Black Friday seriously in my family. I really think it's the best entertainment you get on Thanksgiving! The fighting is pretty hysterical. I've seen it get to fighting over a pack of rags!!

5.Christmas Movies 
    Okay, so, this is probably my most favorite thing about the Holidays, CHRISTMAS MOVIES!!! I mean you have Hallmark, ELF, The Grinch, Santa Claus, The Polar Express, etc.. Also let me add, Netflix is a huge blessing providing tons of Christmas movies. And yeah it's okay to lay around all day and watch them, we all do it don't feel guilty.

So that is what I love most about the Holiday season. This time of year is a bundle of joy filled with carbs and sugar. Thanks for reading! 🎄Merry Christmas🎄

Dare To Be a Deborah

Hey Y'all! It's been a few weeks since I last blogged, and I am SO SORRY!! With the Holidays rolling around it's been pretty busy. These past few weeks I've been studying about a woman named Deborah from the book of Judges. Some may know who I'm talking about, and some may not. My Pastor has been going through the book of Judges on Wednesday nights, and I absolutely love it! A few weeks ago we got to the story of Deborah and Barak. I had already been thinking about doing a study on a woman in the Bible, and then God told me she was my woman! So, I read, studied, and researched, and now I'm gonna share with y'all what God gave me.      If you know anything about the book of Judges, you know it's all about Israel's  up and down life of serving the Lord. One day they wanted to do right, and the next they were right back to sinning. So, God raised up these Judges to lead them. In chapter 4, God raises up a woman Judge named Deborah. Just like always, I...

A Worship that Pleases God

Ask yourself: Do I spend time worshiping enough? Is my life truly pleasing the Lord? How do I know I really love the Lord with all that is in me? On today's blog I am gonna share with y'all what God has shown me recently. I just love when God works in my life, but, in order to continue living for him how I should, it's gonna take a great deal more than just rushing through my morning chapter, and a quick prayer everyday. I hope, with Gods help, that I can be a help with y'all in this area!      The first question I said to ask yourself was: Do I spend time worshiping enough? Worship is certainly not meant JUST for church! We should worship God in our everyday lives. If you only worship the Lord on Sundays and Wednesdays, that's your first problem. To keep that good relationship and fellowship with God, you need to maintain a worshiping lifestyle. I heard someone say, It's so much easier to live a christian life if you get saved! This could be true in your life...

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart

So, this blog is probably gonna be a bit scattered just because this has been on my heart for the past couple of weeks, and I just couldn't find the words to say. But, after pondering on it for a while, and doing some research, I think I can finally sit down and write up a blog for y'all! On my phone I have the "Bible by Tecarta" app, and it notifies each morning with a daily Bible verse. A couple weeks back I woke up to Mark 7:20-23 , and God quickly laid it on my heart to read that whole chapter. So, I did, and wow. It's one of those moments where you know you've been praying for something, and God just finally shows you what to do, or how to fix it. Anyone else know how that feels? When I came to verse 6, I began to cry. It says: "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrisies, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." I'd recently been praying for God to help...
