2022!! NO TURNING BACK!

Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God".                   LUKE 9:62


If you are reading this, Congratulations!  You definitely made it!  You were handpicked by the Lord to see this brand new year!  You are indeed blessed!  Not everyone made it.

Because of the faithfulness of our God, each one of us has many reasons to be grateful to Him no matter what hard things we may have faced in 2021.  We don't always understand what God is doing and why, but we know that it is never to cause pain or hurt.  He knows and wants what is best for us, but sometimes we just don't understand.  We still must trust Him. 

Let's make a commitment to face forward to the future that has been prepared, and not carry 2021 baggage into this new year.  Remember that there is no life is the past because it is frozen in time.  We can learn and embrace it's lessons, but it cannot be changed.

Music is a huge part of who I am and as I have been spiritually preparing myself for 2022 and the first of the year fast, songs began to flood my spirit.  *These are a few of the lyrics to one of them.  "I won't go back, can't go back, to the way it used to be, before  Your presence came and changed me."

May we all be blessed and surrendered to the Lord even more in this new year than ever before.

  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
