Happy New Year!!
“2013- Love Big & Pray Big”
“I so love the beginning of the new year!
Each year in preparation I create something that lists my
goals & hopes for the following year.
These aren’t really resolutions, just things I want to remind myself
as I approach the following year.
I pray about the things God has in store for me in the coming year
and ask him to lay those things on my heart.”
“My favorites are
Ask God to break your heart for what breaks His
Stop the glorification of the busy
Be a Jesus girl who rises up & unexpectedly gives graces
Be a go giver
and Pray BIG!”

I have lately been involved in looking more closely at the strengths and skills. I am consistently reminded that it is never too late to get your Dream On!!
What makes heart passion for serving the Lord Jesus Christ happen? For me, it is knowing the anticipation of life’s unwrapped gift!! Walking in faith believing and exclaiming to my Lord….THIS is what makes my heart beat, makes me rise to meet each new day and why I breathe!!
We all start somewhere….. I enjoy my simple journey as God continues to raise the level of passion in my heart for the “more” yet to come!!
My consistent prayer for myself and for those that I love is to faithfully live out all that God has, is and will continue to set ablaze in our hearts for building up the Kingdom of God!!
“You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete.” James 2:22

The Birth of Jesus
“At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the
Roman Empire. This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) All returned to
their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David,
he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth
in Galilee. He took with him Mary, his fiancée, who was now obviously pregnant. And while they were there,
the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in
strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
The Shepherds and Angels
That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly,
an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They
were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that
will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in
Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped
snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others
—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on
earth to those with whom God is pleased.” When the angels had returned to heaven the shepherds
said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord
has told us about.” They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby,
lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what
the angel had said to them about this child. All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, but
Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. The shepherds went back to their
flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.
Luke 2: 1-20
