Thinking about the new year and wondering how it will go.
Not sure what to expect, but can't help compare what 2012 went like. Hey, I'm human.
Gotta have HOPE. Gotta have some nourishment to feed our souls and inner being.
This past year, my daughter-in-law separated from my son and my heart broke. Divorcing.
Divorce is a death. I know that God can heal marriages if both husband and wife desire it. God can breathe new life into a sad situation and turn it completely around. This I know.
But you have to believe in God. The relationship with Him must be active and real, not a ritual. Facing a certain direction when praying isn't a prerequisite for God hearing your prayers. Wearing certain clothing articles doesn't necessarily enhance ones prayer language.
Reciting mantras doesn't do it. It's in having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and being filled with the Holy Spirit that starts the ball rolling to where God hears your cries. Some do not understand that you can have a personal relationship with God. Some have no desire to know God. The goodness of God isn't something they know about. They are still in the dark.
Declaring that this year be full of light,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
