2012!





I pray everyone has a great New Year! And that you will ACTUALLY DO all those things you promise yourself to do. Because you can. The only thing stopping you from doing, some of, those things on your resolution list is yourself. " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 1 Tim. 1:7

You have the strength to move on, push forward, be different, and be yourself. ;)
Don't let anything get in your way. Trust God, and ask Him to take all your fears away as you enter 2012.

Let's pray for an amazing year!

LUKE 2:1-21 - The Christmas Story

"And it came to pass, in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus That all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every man into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, unto Judaea, unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem. (because he was of the house and lineage of David)
To be taxed with Mary his exposed wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country, shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over there flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I bring good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  
 And this shall be a sign unto you, Ye shall see a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of heavenly host praising God, and saying
Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will men.
And it came to pass, when that angel were gone away from them, into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go now even unto Bethlehem, to see these things which have come to pass, which the Lord hath known into us.
And they cam with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe laying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad, saying the thing which were told unto them, concerning this child.
And all they that heard it, wondered at the things which was told them, by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God, for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
And when the eight days were accomplished for the circumcision of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb."

When the Angel came unto Mary

(And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. )

Angel:
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
(And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. )
Angel: Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David, And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Mary:
How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

Angel
: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Mary
: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

(And the angel departed from her. )

Luke 1:26-38

Every Single Woman's Battle - Book Review


‘Every Single Women’s Battle’ is a very helpful book for a woman of an appropriate age.
I did like this book a lot but, it talks a lot about dating, marriage, and sexual devotion.
And if you (like me) have never dated, been married, or had sex there might be a problem trying to connect with what this book talks about.

It also asks you to make sure you want God to help you overcome this sin. And I (probably because I’m young) was thinking ‘Umm… yes that’s kinda why I’m reading this, right?’ but, I think, what it meant by that was ‘Do you really want God to help you? Are you really going to do all these things that are necessary to stop your flesh from winning? Instead of thinking just because you’re reading this devotional your life is going to get better?’ And it takes a mature person to really be patience and take every step.

This book is very good for someone trying to understand herself. Sometimes the questions you ask yourself are not the right questions. And there are certainly varieties of questions asked in this book.

This book is also made for groups (I did this alone, so it is not impossible; but it was written for groups). Like a ladies Bible study at a church or group of dedicated friends.

After you read ‘Every Single Woman’s Battle’ you might start to question the things you think, do, see, and think. You might start to notice the things you know are wrong but have done so many times the evil about doing it went away.

So, over all, I would recommend this book, but for women 20 or older, because if you are too young this book will be confusing. You will doubt everything you do and, unintentionally, have a stronger desire for a man.
