I am so very blessed to have been invited to the baptism of two very special young ladies the weekend of the 3rd of February. It is with great delight that I watched them surrender their lives to God and accept Jesus into their hearts. I pray that they will come to truly understand the depth of their commitment to God. As an adult I have seen the blessings of God flow through my life over the years and I have experienced the darkness of this world that has made me appreciate the endless of love of my Lord and Savior. I know that as these wonderful young ladies explore life and go through the trials and tests that are to come, they will come to also understand the how deep, how wide, how endless is the love of our God and Savior. May they see who they are in Christ, feel the peace and love that comes only from walking in a deep relationship with him, and live a life that reflects the image of Christ to all those around them. With love and prayers to them both!
To Bekah with love and may you know how beautiful you truly are!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Victory

New beginnings
A heart made fresh
Mind transformed
Out of the flesh
Believe you are free
Know you are pure
Walk in the light
Be steady and sure
Hold tight to the truth
Avoid the dark
Behold your beauty
Begin a new start
Know you have won
With victory in God
Love will prevail
Keep that in your heart
To Liz with love and prayers that you will believe in you and know that you are the daughter of the Righteous King!
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1
Victory through Christ

Righteous daughter
Lovely beyond compare
You have the courage of Christ within you
Just believe that it is true
Hold tight to the promises
Be a light in the world filled with darkness
Remember that victory is yours
When you acknowledge your need
God will wipe away the tears
Give him your sorrow and your pain
Don’t miss out on the blessed gift of his love
Look to the cross
Behold your life anew
Live every moment for the Lord above
God will be forever with you
Beautiful daughter of God
