God tells us we’re valuable… BECAUSE. Because He fearfully and wonderfully created us in Jesus’ image.

The greatest way to overcome an old failure is to go out and win a new victory!

Happy Hanukkah tonight my friends. A wonderful celebration of victory and miracles of God. Enjoy.

I finished my season at Operation Christmas Child @ Samaritan's Purse....It was a blessing meeting all the volunteer's who came to make a difference in the life of a child for the Gospel...I enjoyed working with the staff who have a deep commitment to see to see the saving power of Jesus spread to many countries. I made many friends there and am thankful for their impact on my life.... I wish my stay could have been longer but God knows best. I am so thankful for the experience.....

God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him; God is great because nothing is too small for Him. Mark Batterson

MaryBeth Slabbert shares... I already sent out a note to some of my prayer warriors but I'm going to make this public. Will you all pray for what's being done in Haiti right now? Satan is on the attack both there and in my home this week, and we just need your prayers. I hate asking this, but this is total Spiritual warfare and it's beginning to make me mad in both ways. It seems when we pray the hardest, open our hearts the deepest, and seek out His will the furthest, Satan opens up his fury...

What a joy it is to know that when a person calls for help...the arms of Jesus are filled with loved...Oh, what peace that brings....

Yvonne Heavner shares... Everyone please continue praying for my mom. She received more bad news today and with her being 4 hours away, I cant be there for her like I want to and its killing me. Leaving it all to God. Let's pray for Yvonne's Mom...dj

Sometimes God leads us to a place where we have nowhere to turn but to Him; our only option is to trust Him.....
