Faithful

Our God is a God who is FAITHFUL. In so many ways! The same God who is able to do miracles yesterday is able to do miracles today. The same God who was faithful in years past will be faithful for years to come. He is a God who is UNCHANGING! Praise God that when people falter and fail us, our God will never leave or forsake us!

Today, I am thankful, because our God is a God who faithfully answers our prayers and changes lives! It is an amazing thing to intercede on someone's behalf for years, and then for Him to allow you to witness the miracle of your prayers being answered! Yes, our God is a God who is able. He is able to "do exceedingly and abundantly above what we could imagine!" He is a God who was able to rescue me "from the pit" years ago, and is still rescuing people today.

Let me encourage you to remember that, although a situation may seem hopeless, our God is Able. Period. Present your requests to Him and don't lose heart.

Christmas in Cordova

Angie and I have been invited to participate in an in-home craft fair today, called Christmas in Cordova!

I'll have my adorable Christmas ornaments, some cute picture frames, and I'll have my computer set up to do custom designs for Uppercase Living. Ang will be there selling and signing her books, so for those of you who were dying to get one after my last post... here's your chance! I do hope you're able to stop by. It should be a great chance to get some last minute, unique holiday shopping done! There will be other vendors, such as Premier Designs, Southern Living at Home, monogramming, art, and much more!

It is at Amanda Cline's house today from 10-1. She lives just around the corner from me in the Macon/Houston Levee area of Cordova. Here address is:

10264 Green Moss Drive North - Cordova

I REALLY hope to see you there!

Need a Good Christmas Idea?

I bet I can help you out! It just so happens that my big sis, Angie, has written the most beautiful book about her sweet baby girl, Poppy Joy. Poppy was born two years ago this month, and although she only lived on this earth for 3 short hours, God has used her sweet life to touch the lives of countless people.

Angie is a writer by nature, and if you've read her blog at all, you know that she has an incredible gift to pull deep spiritual truths from some of the most mundane things of life, in a witty and riveting way. God used her gift of writing, to capture Poppy's story in an incredible way. The book includes excerpts of her blog, which she started to document her journey, and ultimately ended up touching the lives of people who were hurting all over the world. The book will not just be meaningful for someone who has lost a child, although, I know it would be especially moving to those. It is a story that tells of God's faithfulness. No matter what dark days you have gone through, you are currently traveling, or you have yet to know, it so beautifully shows that our God is a God who is able to carry you through any storm.

I know I may be just a little biased... but I feel I can say confidently that anyone you buy this for will be tremendously blessed. I can't think of a better gift idea!

You can go here to purchase a copy, if you're interested!

If you live in town, and want Ang to sign it, leave a comment, and we'll be in touch!

Already have the book? Feel free to leave a review here!

Superman Met His Match

For four years now, we've stood in awe;

It's true, your plays were rarely flawed.

It's 4th and 1? Some teams may fret.

But with Tim to run it, we never broke a sweat!

"Can you stop him?", some have asked.

It's been a strong, No... in the past.

Tonight, was different in some ways.

It was just not one of our greatest days.

We lost it all and lost it bad.

We left hurt, disappointed, and sad.

We lost the title, the season, and all.

We lost so bad, some even bawled.

But let us not forget the rest.

Afterall, Tebow will always be the very best.

He played with heart, and faith, and spirit.

So, those who criticize; I just don't want to hear it!

He ran and passed and scored some more.

Watching him, was never a bore.

The media and fans were all in a craze;

I've even heard Superman, himself, wears Tim Tebow pj's.

Who else was so fun to watch game after game?

I'd challenge you to come up with a name.

Who else could be so hard to hate?

Even for those of you who are and always will be Gator Bait.

So, don't lose heart, dear Timmy T.

For dear to us, you'll always be.

Things won't be the same when you are gone.

But somehow, someway, we will go on.

Tonight we lost; this is a fact.

And I am sad; I won't put on an act.

But, still I'd like to say, dear Tebow,

That you'll always be my football hero!
