Hope you are having a great day! If you have repented of your sins and asked Jesus to be your Savior, then you are a daughter of the King! The Bible tells us that God adopts us as His children at our salvation and since He's the KING, that makes us daughters of the King! Fun?! Now that isn't so we can get all puffed up with the sin of pride as if we have somehow earned this honor, but it is a happy truth! S0 for all us blessed "princesses"...

My friend Leilani made a precious kit called CindersDream last year which you can find at Fairydustprincess-Magicmaker. It really captured the little girl in me, so I made this charm using her background, castle and carriage. I altered the hanging loop from Kirsty Smith at Harryandtatesmum. This was so popular when she and I gave it away last year that I thought those who missed it might like another chance at it. Hope the little girl in you enjoys it!

This is such an important one. These are perilous times for souls. Our society has decided it's superior, some how more intelligent, to "embrace" all religions as equal. Surely we should love and respect all people. But for religions to be equal they would all have to be true. Believing a lie with all your heart does not make it come true.

Truth is the anchor of all life. Truth is not open to opinion nor does it "change with the times". Something is either true or it isn't. There is positively no value in devoutly believing something that is not so and no kindness in letting another believe a lie that will doom them for eternity and not telling them the way to salvation. I can believe I am a man all day with all my heart, but come nightfall, I will surely still be a woman.

That doesn't mean that a person of a different faith is bad or is any less important or not loved by God. It does mean he is deceived by the enemy of our souls and is believing a lie and for us to pretend it is equal to the truth is for all of us to live the childhood story of The Emperor's New Clothes. Everyone pretended to see clothes because the King thought He was wearing fine new clothes, but in truth, he was naked. His belief that he was finely clothed did not alter the fact that he was naked.

• Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else: for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." Jesus Christ.

It's such a happy time when we are all "lifting holy hands" and worshiping our Lord and Savior with all our hearts! God created us for an intimate love relationship with Him and from that relationship naturally flows PRAISE!!!!!!!

Who could look at a baby and not know in their hearts that this is life and the creation of an almighty God? The moment an egg is fertilized, a baby is created and starts the maturing process that will result in tears of joy in nine months. This process isn't any different from the maturing process that changes that new born baby into a wrinkled old man who then returns to dust. They are all alive, even though their appearances change as time goes on. We all know this in our hearts, but many have let selfishness and evil social agendas muffle their consciences.

If you don't want the baby you have conceived, there are MANY who do want it. There are also many organizations who will help you through the pregnancy and arrange for good parents to raise your child and give it a good life. Why would you not do this? It is the ultimate in selfishness to kill your innocent child just because you didn't want to be further "inconvenienced" or possibly change your waistline. How does that stack up to murdering a human being? God's Word is very clear about this.

Yes, there is forgiveness for those of us who have committed this sin, our Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to come to Him for forgiveness and salvation, so that you can be with Him forever and He can heal the pain in your heart that killing your own baby leaves. He alone can heal this pain.

I didn't make this baby. I found it on the web, but don't have credits for it. I have added the rest and made the button. If the creator of the baby sees this and is upset, please write me. I'm not trying to take credit for it. It does make a wonderful button for "Choose Life"!

Today's gift for you is a grungy Border from my Grungie Goodies kit. Enjoy! The grungie look is really popular today, but what about grungie people? Those people who are rough around the edges, difficult, testy, obstinate, a real challenge to be around? We have embraced the grungie look in art because it brings another flavor into our work. Could it be that there is also a hidden value to having "grungie" people in our lives?

We all know that we only build muscle when we do things that are difficult, things that challenge our strength and stretch our endurance. The same is true of our walk with God. As He brings "grungie" people into our lives, let's try to view them with the same eye to hidden treasure that we view grungie art. Let's see that God is blessing us with the opportunity to grow in His Spirit, to move into spiritual maturity and develop more Fruit of the spirit when He puts these people in our lives. It is His right as the one who we have given our lives to, to use anyone and anything in life to "polish" us - as sandpaper to bring out the true deeper beauty. Let's co-operate with Him instead of feeling sorry for ourselves and struggling against it. Let's find the hidden beauty in "grungie" people.
Grungie Goodies has 8 large cool Frames (seen in Boo's picture), a Grungie Alphabet with upper and lower case, Numbers & Punctuation, a Swirl, a Border, 2 doodled Flowers and 2 grass clumps - everything in the same grungie look! Only $1.99 at mt PayPal store. Click Buy It Now button below image to purchase.

• “I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.” Romans 12:1

• "For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust." Psalm 103:14
  

Today I'd like to share another morsel from The Noticer by Andy Andrews. He proposes that those of us who worry or fear are doing so because God made us smart. He says "dumber" people don't worry much and aren't generally afraid. He says smart people are more creative and imaginative than dumb ones.

Then he gets to a very interesting perspective - worry and fear are just a misuse of the creative imagination that has been placed in all of us. "Because we are smart and creative, we imagine all the things that could happen, that might happen, that will happen if this or that happens." Wow. This I need to think on. Worry and fear are just a misuse of the creative imagination that has been placed in all of us.

Then he illustrates the lack of worry and fear in the "dumb" by saying: "You've seen the TV shows. The only thing crazier than the guy that says, 'Watch this!' is the guy that says, 'Heck, I can do that!"

He says that, "When doubts and fears assail us, we subconsciously calculate the possibilities." "Soon we are paralyzed by the idea that disaster is imminent" to the point we can't function and jobs and relationships dissolve. "We have immagined our way to self-destruction."

He suggests that instead of calculating the possible bad things that could happen we should "calculate the odds of an event occurring and eliminate it as even a remote possibility in our life." He says that 40% of the things we worry about never happen. "30% of the things we worry about have already happened-in the past." No amount of worrying can change that. 12% are needless worries about health. 10%are worries about what others think and we can't do anything about that. That leaves 8% for legitimate concerns. "Most people spend so much time fearing things that never happen or can't be controlled which leaves them no energy to deal with the few things they could actually handle." He recommends making lists of things we are grateful for.

He points out it's our own imaginations we are battling. "Worry is focus on the wrong things." "Focus on what can be controlled. And you will no longer be sad or worried. You will be grateful! After all, the seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart."

Today's gift brings to mind the simplicity of a child and what our Precious Lord said about them:

• "And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all." Luke 18:15-17

A dear sister-in-Christ sent me this and I think it's so special I'm sharing it with you and praying it for all of you too. I hope you are blessed.

Dear God,

I don't know all of the challenges my friend has,
but YOU know EVERYTHING.
I hear their silence;
YOU hear their pleas.
I see their laughter;
YOU see their tears.
I see when they give,
YOU see what's been taken from them.
I see their beautiful appearance;
YOU see the scars in their soul.
I experience their faith;
YOU know their doubts.

My prayer for them God, is that YOU give them everything
they may need and bless them abundantly.

In today's world we tend to think that if someone didn't actually intend something in a certain way, then it doesn't count. Ponder that a moment. In the spiritual realm this is not so. Just as God established eternal laws for nature and mankind, He also established spiritual laws to govern the spiritual realm. God's laws do not change, none of them, no matter what mankind thinks. We will all be judged by them whether we decided we are too modern for them or not.

Spiritual laws also apply to the dark spiritual realm; satan and his evil spirits. We can do things in ignorance, without understanding their spiritual significance and without intending to open spiritual doors for evil to enter our lives. We still incur the consequences. Remember, satan is the father of lies. He does not play nice. He does not play fair. But he does have to play by God's rules. He is indeed a defeated foe (Jesus' work on the cross), but he still has power and he takes advantage of every opportunity we allow him, whether we meant it that way or not. He does not say, "Oh, they didn't really mean to allow us in, so just leave them alone." He does not think or act like God the Father or our Beloved Savior who operate always out of love for us. Satan wants only to kill and destroy us. He wants to us to spend eternity in hell with him as that's the only way he can strike out at God and hurt Him.

Joshua 24:15

To share today's thought I must first lay a little groundwork, so please bear with me. Four years ago we had to have a lot of expensive work done to our home. It was a huge deal as we had to go deeply into debt to do it, refinancing the house adding it to our mortgage. We prayed long and hard that God would guide our choice of contractor and that they would do all the work just the way they should. Now only four years later, it has become evident that they didn't and we were ripped off in many ways. The spector of what must be done and how on earth can we do it looms darkly over us. It's easy to question why He did not protect us as we begged Him to. Why didn't He take care of His children?

Today an insurance appraiser came to look at the roof (a separate issue - hail damage). Again we prayed for favor as we were hoping he would fix the part of the problem, where it's been raining inside the living/diningroom. He said no because it was the fault of the contractor, but he said he would fix the floor damage that has resulted and put in new carpet. (Just FYI, that wasn't even on the list and though it's great, it doesn't touch the immense issues.)

So as I was pondering our situation, the fact God didn't protect us last time and so we have all this going on now and no visible way to take care of it, a thought came to me. My husband has been wanting to move near the church he started over a year ago and pastor's in a neighboring state. It's an hour each way and he wants to be there as soon as the church can support a full time pastor. For now we don't even get gas money and he works a full time job and also has a recording studio in the house to try make ends meet. We have remarked for a year that we wouldn't be able to sell the house with the carpet like this, but again, no way to take care of it.

Here's the thought: Because God didn't answer our prayers and protect us with the last contractors, now we are getting a new carpet in part of the house. DH thinks it's to get it ready to sell. It does bring to mind the fact that some times He does not do what we ask because He's working out something good for us down the road. This is good food for though and can help how we think about things when we feel He's let us down.

We still have all the huge issues that need addressed, so please keep us in your prayers, for that and oh so much more!

It's amazing how frequently we humans doubt God's love for us. He has filled this entire earth and the heavens above us with countless gifts of His love. Everywhere our eyes look we see wonders He has put there for us. He has made every good thing we have in our lives and He's given them to us. He sustains us even when we ignore Him or are angry at Him. He forgives us EVERY time we ask sincerely. He never sleeps, but is ever there for us every time we call on Him. He gave what was most precious to Him just so that we would be able to spend eternity with Him. We need never doubt again whether He loves us.

However, loving us is NOT the same as a free pass to heaven. He did everything necessary at the cross to redeem us from hell, now it's up to us. He has the right to establish the rules and He alone can enforce them. It doesn't matter what we think at all, in the end, only those who have obeyed His rules will spend eternity in heaven with Him. We must believe He is God. He requires us to repent of our sins, that is to be truly sorry for our sins and determine not to do them again, but to live by His law. We must ask Him to to be our Savior. We must be immersed in water baptism in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then we must live faithfully until death. We must love Him more than anything or anyone and live a life of faith, believing in what He says in the Bible. We must forgive others for wrongs we feel they have done to us. We must repent when we sin and ask to be forgiven.

Yes, God loves us deeply and truly, but He cannot abide sin and those who will spend eternity with Him must be washed in the saving blood of Jesus Christ to wash away our sins. We die to the old man of sin and Christ lives in us, so now when the Father looks at us, He sees His beloved Son who gave His life to save us. He imputes Jesus' righteousness to us and that's how we get to spend eternity with the Holy God Almighty, the only True and Living God, the great I AM. Jesus Himself is our High Priest sitting at the right hand of God the Father interceding for us. The Holy Spirit of God takes our prayers and speaks them to the Father in words we cannot even utter so they are fit for our Holy God. Hallelujah Lord! Thank you forever and ever!
