Away in a Manger

In my work I hear people say a lot, "No one understands what I am going through." And I have to admit I have even said it--a time or two. So even though I know that the statement holds little weight, I understand what it is like to feel all alone and like there is no where to turn. I find myself at this place at Christmas time, and I find my hope in a manger. 

Matthew 1:18 says, "Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit." I have always thought of the significance on the virgin birth to be to show how powerful and miraculous God is. I read a commentary that showed it in a different light. Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit so Jesus was born apart from the sinful nature that is passed on to each of us through Adam. Mary was His mother so He was born completely human. Both God and human at the same time. So He understands human nature and our struggles at the same time that he understands the big picture. 

So my Christmas gift to you is a reminder that when you feel alone remember that God sent a baby, that grew into man, and died on a cross so that we have someone that gets what we are going through. Jesus can and will lead you through it.

Scary Movies 101

In honor of Halloween I decided to share with you a few movies 

that I will not be watching this year due to the creep factor. 

This movie scared me so much as a child, 

and honestly I don't like it much now. 

I was creeped out just looking up the picture. 

I had nightmares about this one. 

My friends and I even did Candy Man in the mirror. 

Not a good idea for a bunch of 12 year olds. 

I think it may have been the friend that crept up behind me in the theater

 and scared me that makes this movie so creepy. 

After The Ring my sister and I checked the back seats of our car

 every time we got in for a week. 

I don't know why, but this movie totally creeps me out. 

And yes I do realize it is not a scary movie. 

What can I say? I am a wimp. 

So what movies creep you out the most? 

Change of Perspective

Over the past few weeks I have been dealing with some things. I have cried tears, been sad, and even wanted to give up. I knew that I had to deal with these particular issues or I would never be able to move on. I kept going trusting that God would bring me through. Things have been better this week, maybe because my focus has been else where, but I digress. A friend called me a few minutes ago in tears and going through something very similar to what I was a few weeks ago. She is broken. So am I. She feels hopeless. So did I. She is in pain. So am I. The thing that may be different is that I prayed for God to bring the healing. She didn't ask for the pain. But God can and will heal us both--in His time. It is amazing how much perspective can change when you are praying with a friend over their pain. This very moment (as I type) she sent me a message that said she opened her bible and read this: John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." Those are beautiful words Jesus spoke to his disciples, and he spoke them to my beautiful friend tonight. I am so thankful that I was his vessel to help someone in need.  

Smiling is my favorite!!!

I am needing a little pick me up today so I have been watching ELF clips on YouTube. I think I need to purchase this movie, because it makes me smile so much.

I also downloaded a Christmas song. :)

What do you do when you need a pick me up?
