Devotional- Posted on July 19, 2007

This is a part of a devotianal that I got today. I just had to share it! It's so powerful and true. May God bless you and I pray that this touches your heart as it did mine! :)
There will always be something in life that will compete to keep my light from shining. But these verses, specifically Matthew 5:15, tell us “don’t hide your light….” There is a good reason for that. When my light is dim, then others can’t see God’s power in my life. I want my family, friends, neighbors, and everyone I meet to know that my light is the light of Jesus Christ. I trust Him and love Him with all my heart. If I focus on me, that light dims. When I focus on Him, that light keeps shining, even when faced with hardships.
Don’t listen to the thoughts that bring you fear, worry, and insecurity. Those are not from God and they will put out your light. Instead, remain focused on Jesus. Trust Him with your life, all of it, and shine that light of yours for everyone to see. Who knows, the light that shines through you may just be the light that will transform someone’s life today “…so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
Dear Lord, Today let Your light shine through me for all to see! I claim Your Word today and I give to You all the things in my life that are the baskets that hide it. I pray that others may know You as they see You shining in me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Rachel's B-day Party- Posted on July 19, 2007

I know I haven't written in a LONG time. It's been super busy these past weeks. I am very overwhelmed, but so happy to be surrounded by the people I love. :) Here's a pic of Rachel's b-day party. WE had it last Sunday, July 15th. She really turns 2 on July 21st! I just can't believe it! It's gone by so fast! I can just remember getting ready for her to come. It was so exciting and scary at the same time. Well, I will post some more pics soon! :) God bless all! Keep us in your prayers.

Thanks Yaya for the yummy cake! It was very good! :) Thanks Kelly for getting this pic! It's SUPER!! It really catches her in the act!
