The Reason

"For unto us a child is born, Unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

The whole reason Christ came as a baby was to grow up and die for me and you. We have a lot to celebrate this Christmas season in knowing that Jesus Christ did it all because He loves each and every one of us that much. I hope that you will take time this Christmas to stop and thank Him for all he's done. I know that if it wasn't for Jesus I would not be the person I am today. And, I'm so thankful that he has saved me and has given me a hope and a future in and through Him.

South Carolina or Bust

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to write another blog post so I figured I'd better go ahead and get it done. I've got to get home after work and get our packing done and we heading to South Carolina tomorrow! Once I get off work tomorrow we will head straight to the airport and fly home. YAY! We are really looking forward to spending more time with family this year. We will return to Texas on January 3rd so we get a nice long break.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. And, I'm sure I'll post some pictures and updates once we are in South Carolina.

Merry Christmas!

Joshua's "So Cool" Train

Joshua has had an early Merry Christmas visit for being such a good boy!

Counting Down the Days

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!!!

We will be in South Carolina in 7 Days!! YAY!

I am so ready for a break from TEXAS! Not that I don't like it here, but it will be nice to get away from our dinky townhouse and STRESS for 10 days. And, of course I can't wait to see FAMILY and have to do absolutely nothing but enjoy time with them. It's going to be G.R.E.A.T!

More Picture People Pictures

These are some more pictures we had done at picture people, but we decided not to get.

Downtown, Fort Worth

We went Downtown, Fort Worth tonight and saw all their great Christmas lights and we got to see Santa again. Joshua got to climb up into Santa's sleigh and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. It was a lot of fun.

Enjoy the pictures!

Joshua's Picture

Family Picture Day

We had our family picture done today at Picture People and Joshua got to go visit Santa. I love our pictures and wanted to share them with all of you! Joshua loved visiting Santa. We were standing in line and Joshua got in eye view of Santa and decided he would scream out, "SANTA, you coming to my house tonight?" Santa got distracted and started talking to Joshua and it was so cute. I wish I had my video camera with me. It would have been great on video.

Praying

I have started something new in my prayer time that has been really neat. I've made myself a prayer calendar and written the names of people I'll pray for each day on it. I have several that I pray for on a daily basis and then I have 2 names that I pray for on that specific day. It has really helped take the focus off of myself during my prayer time. I have found that I really love praying for others. I want to see them blessed by God. I often think if we all took seriously enough the matter of prayer that we would see a mighty move of God. It is in prayer that we talk to God himself and if you stay quiet long enough he talks back to you. No, I don't hear him say anything "out loud" but in my heart of hearts I hear his voice and know when it is him speaking to me. I just encourage you to pray for others. God will bless you and fill you with an inexpressable joy as you pray for others.

Another thing I do during this prayer time is that I find a verse in Scripture to pray over the person I'm praying for. Here is an example. This is what I prayed for Joshua the other night:

"Lord, I pray that as Joshua grows he will trust you with all his heart and not lean upon his own understanding. I pray that he will seek you in all things." You'll probably notice that I prayed Proverbs 3:5 over Joshua in this prayer. The Word of God is powerful and what better words to use when I'm praying than the very words God has inspired and spoken into his word. I also write my prayers out on index cards and keep them organized by the date I prayed for others and I write the name of the person I prayed for on the card.

My desire is to one day give Joshua all of the prayers that I've prayed over him so that he will have them and be able to go back and see the things I've prayed for him. I really hope to do that with all my prayer cards so that each person I've prayed for will know they have been prayed for. But, for now I'm going to keep them and keep adding to them until the Lord directs me to do otherwise.

I hope this blog post encourages you in some way. I just had to share my new prayer thang! :)
