It is a Good Friday because of Him

Jesus is ALIVE!


He gave His life for each of us, so that we can embrace true life in Him.
Today IS a Good Friday because of His amazing love for us. 
I made this card to remind myself and others that He endured the cross FOR ME. What a priceless gift!



"God doesn't need us to be successful,
He wants us to be surrendered."



I gave my life to the Lord Jesus my Savior and King when I was 17 years old. I heard Him calling me to surrender my everything. 
O, am I ever so grateful I found the courage to leave my ALL for Him. 

It is my prayer today you encounter the only One who loves you perfectly and start a beautiful relationship with Him. May we find time to reflect on Jesus. His amazing life, death and resurrection speaks about surrender. 

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

Words of Life....
Who determines if you are successful?
Paul was successful and he stayed imprisoned for while writing encouraging letters to the churches. During his ministry the apostle Paul spent about a total of 5 1/2 to 6 years in jail.
But God!

Jesus was successful! No question about it, but He hung on a cross surrounded by thieves. 

But God!

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9

LAUGHTER: Magnificent Friends

I arrived in new land not long ago.
Busy as my life regularly is, forming  friendships takes some time.
Nevertheless, the Lord prepared some amazing women to receive me and carry me with love in what He knew would be a heavy season.

One of them I met one Sunday, she was quietly worshiping the Lord by me. 
When the time came to say HELLO to your neighbor, we smiled and embrace.
I am so grateful, I feel I know her since long ago.

In the next Sundays we happened to join the SAME growth track class. We sat together and share thoughts and smiles. A friendship started forming.

Then one day, she surprised me with this beauty.
My new friend Debbie, watched one of my videos and realized the word LAUGHTER was very important to me this year. 

I am so grateful for the BEAUTY that she irradiates and she is also an amazing crafter. O dear! God knows what He does. I needed this boost, she has no idea how much.

Can you see how beautiful is our Lord Jesus?
Thanks Lord for the sweet aroma of your Presence everywhere I go. For following me here with your goodness and surprising me with your LAUGHTER. 


Debbie, her friendship is refreshing. 
Love having her by me each Sunday while we reach up to heaven. 
Lord, bless my friend today. 




Being the promise He gave me for 2018 I needed a sweet reminder.
I had no chance to make myself one. My sweet sister prepared one for me. 
#blessedindeed


Jesus is SO faithful!

CELEBRATE with Paper Pumpkin Wildflower Wishes

Celebrate

There is so much to celebrate in our lives!
Being alive, the opportunity to start again every single day, being forgiven and having the freedom to walk guilt-free, worry-free, burden-free. Surely I've found my freedom in the name of Jesus. As soon as I fix MY eyes on Jesus my perspective changes and I start seeing things more clear.

A reason to stamp
I have many reasons why I stamp cards. I am so grateful for this hobby. 
It gives me time to ponder, relax and enjoy time with myself and the Lord.
This kit was definitely one of my favorites to make. Is simple enough to understand and beautiful enough to keep me inspired. 



Not inspired
When I don't feel inspired to craft...happens often after a tiring week, an exhausting school day or simply the daily grind, what to do?
I found Paper Pumpkin helps me get my groove again.
Some days I simply want to have simple instructions, all cut for me and pretty photos to follow. Hehe! 


Thanks
If you read yesterday's post you know my grateful heart is a work in progress. I used to be way more flexible, changes were simply part of my life and I THOUGHT I received them with open arms. Apparently my last move was not as simple as I was expecting. God has been leading my steps into this new land, my heart had a hard time letting go. Today I choose to be thankful for what I have now. I am blessed. Love these Thank you cards created with my kit.

Stampin'Up! Hold on to Hope


Thankful
Our society has become plagued with a syndrome called complaining.
It is so easy to fall into the complaining trap.
The other day I caught myself twice complaining and did not notice till someone replied abruptly about being thankful for the two things I was complaining about. 

INTERESTING, at first it caught me by surprise. Neither of my friends were trying to correct me, but the Holy Spirit used the opportunity to open my eyes. I am so thankful He did. 


As I meditated on the Word of God  I stopped by Philippians 2:14-16

14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[a] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

I meditated on HOW I become blameless and pure. It is certainly NOT because of my performance, because we are living by faith and transformed by His righteousness. I inquired of the Lord and the gentle response came. 
When my eyes are "fixed on the Lord" there is no complains, only praises. When I see only what HE is doing, I have no time to argue with others.

As I fix my eyes on Jesus I become blameless and pure.
There are no more complains and arguments.
His love is enough for me.
God is Love. I want ALL of Him!
