Do you realize that you disappoint God when you place a low estimate upon yourself?  When you are negative about yourself, say you don't care...think that you don't matter...Have you ever thought about that?

It is His greatest desire that you realize your true value - the value the value that He has placed upon you because of the high price He paid for you...His very own life...can you imagine that...someone who would value you so much that they would give all for you...yes, for you....ponder it...

God desires you, to know you, to love you, to have fellowship with you...otherwise he would not have paid such an expensive price to redeem you.  This is not just anyone....this is the God of the universe who desires to walk with you....The Almighty God and you....intimate friends....this just amazes me...

God desires to use you.  He has a special purpose for your life...a purpose that only you can fill because of the unique way He has created you...so are you content to just drift through your days, or are you seeking His purpose or you...the special God designed plan that he has for you?

He is just waiting for you to ask Him for big things - big things that would bring glory to Him.  God wants to use you - He trusts you, He has confidence in you...He's there to guide and empower you...work through you to change lives forever. 

Surely we can expect big things as we put our faith in His promises!  And surely as our loving Father He delights in giving us what He has promised even more than we delight in giving good things to those we love and are dear to us.

Weekends are for pondering and realizing anew the true meaning of life...I guess I am just standing in awe of who He is and how much He loves us.

I haven't been here in a regular and consistent way for a while and I have missed being here...missed the friendship, encouragement and the inspiration that you each bring to my life...and how much I will be able to be back again I really don't know...life has been rather intense lately. 

By His grace we made it thorough another year and with Him by our sides, against all odds we walk confidently into this new year knowing that He is in control of our lives...we are learning to trust Him in new and deeper ways than every before and He has been so faithful to us, giving us peace in the midst of every storm, holding us in the hollow of His hand.

Surely He has gone before us, He has been with us and not failed us or forsaken us.  Because of He is with us we do not need to be afraid or discouraged. (Paraphrase of Deut 31:8)
