God is Awesome

For many people, the Holidays mean many different things, but for most of us it symbolizes the night of our Saviors birth.
King of the Universe born in a stable to a virgin mother. How miraculous is that? God made the impossible entrance and an even more impossible exit. And he did it all without question.

I have been thinking a lot about the life that surrounded God while he was here on earth. I have always wished I was born in the time that Jesus walked the earth. Even thinking of it now I get a little breathless, just think what his voice must have sounded like…no doubt his voice was strong and commanded attention. To have his actual hands on your head while he prayed or just to be near him in a crowd…. No matter what, he carried more authority in his voice than any one person on the earth today.

The Savior of the world. Born in a stable. Lay in a manger. Hunted, persecuted, and murdered by this world even though he was as innocent of sin at his death as he was at his birth.
It is easy to focus on the death and resurrection of Christ because we all know that by his blood we are healed and all is forgiven. As humans I think we have a need to hold on most to that promise that God not only forgives and forgets but that he will someday embrace us in the most amazing way that you and I cannot even begin to imagine. Of course Gods promises came with the price of innocent blood shed. Blood shed and death that was only made possible by the pains of labor and birth into a human world.
I guess the point I am trying to make is that I was in need of perspective today and I got it now. When compared to the birth of my savior, nothing really matters enough to worry about. When we are in the hands of a God who rescues and restores things according to his ability I will have no fear for God is with me.
By remaining in God we maintain access to his abilities instead of our own.

School Days

My Little bug is the toast of her class these days! When I go to pick her up it seriously takes like forever because she must hug all her pals....I thought I would show some pictures I took yesterday at her school to show you just half of the kids she hangs with. This group is the four year old group.

The group picture above are her Friends starting from the left: Raven, Jenica with the red hair in back, Jaden of course, Shannon, Ryan, and Zaria.
