  Many times we like to say things like "it's just a coincidence" to explain certain circumstances. In all truth, there are no such things as a coincidence. God is in control of all and nothing surprises Him. This holiday season, take some time to focus on every moment and find God's miracles all around you. If you haven't checked it out yet, go check out our blog  The Christmas Corner

 Listen to that song above, the words:  " The more I praise You,  The more I want to.  I'm falling in love, falling in love with You.  I lay my life down,  God, I am Yours now.  I'm falling in love, falling in love with You.  For the stars at night,  Every sunset sky,  For it all, oh God, I say "I love You." For the world You made,  Every brand new day,  For it all, oh God, I say "I love You"  For the cross You bore,  Every nail and thorn,  For it all, oh God, I say, "I love You"  All I have inside,  Heart, soul, and mind,  For it all, oh God, I say, "I love You"  For it all, oh God, I say, "I love You" This song makes us think about our Father and how much we truly do love Him. Being a Christian isn't about being perfect, it isn't about following rules and a guideline, it isn't about being better than others. It's about being chosen by the king and creator even when we turn away and fail. I heard once that

 Many of us like to put armor on and say we're tough, or "it doesn't bother me." Society tries to say men can't feel things, or else they are week. And as a new mom expecting a boy, I do not want my boy growing up thinking he can't feel things and be honest. Even the toughest ones still struggle internally whether they want to admit it or not. So why...why do we do this silent struggle thing, when we've all been there? I say it's time to let the armor down and show our true authentic, self, the feelings, the hurt, the pain, the loneliness. Don't let someone suffer! We're all in this together.

 ⏺⏺⏺ Update ⏺⏺⏺ I recently started a parenthood journey and couldn't be more excited! I am currently 25 weeks and my little one is due in January! It is both very exciting and also nerve-racking. It is a new experience I have never been through, so I will have to learn one step at a time. I have lots of family and friends who are very excited and willing to help. I believe it will bring us all together.  When I started this blog, I started it as a way to help others by sharing experiences I have observed and seen firsthand. I have learned many lessons in my life and I wanted to give hope to others. My hope is that throughout this journey I can continue to share my experiences and also encourage others out there who go through similar ones.  My main purpose is to bring hope and let you know you are not alone. There is always someone there who can help you! In times of need, turn to the Father who will see you and hear you. Please stay tuned for more info and updates! 

  "It's not an interruption. You couldn't have picked a better time" this phrase in this song shows us exactly how we should be. Our kids should see us actively exercising our faith in front of them. If this situation was to happen how would you react? Many times we see things as "interruptions" but many times they are opportunities to share our faith or be an example. Let your kids see you praying, talking to God through out the day, read the bible together as a family. We have made our faith a Sunday morning thing and we tend to only pray during dinner time at home. Let your guard down in front of your kids, because those vulnerable moments will open their hearts to God. Be the example 

 There's something to say for the way God loves us. He never gives up on us. When everyone else brings you down, he's encouraging you and believing in you. I have found myself in the same lonely place many times over the years, and I've learned even then he is with me. There are times we can't trust our own friends, and sometimes even our family, to be there for us, but God...we can always trust him.
