Heather: Defined

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you read this post, play the video below.  I was inspired by this song to create a post that will be a reminder to us all of what this season means.  As you spend time with family, friends and loved ones, remember our Lord’s birth, life, death and resurrection, which was done for you and I. Merry CHRISTmas to you all!

O ne of my most favorite things to do (there I go with the word "favorite" again) is to decorate! To make a room pleasing to the eye, warm and inviting, comfortable to the touch, and a safe haven is what decorating means to me. To me, the first rule of decorating your home is to invite the Lord to live there, just as it is in your soul. "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15b It is He who is our comfort and safe haven! In knowing and understanding that, we know what we need to do to make our homes that place for family and friends, and for those who do not know Him! When it comes to my blog, I feel the same way. I decorate it the way that I decorate our home! I want you to feel at home, at ease, in friend's company......to be a warm and inviting place to enjoy reading about my life as if we are sitting down with a cup a tea, or latte (as some of you know me) talking about what's going on in my life, and what God is doing ...

T here is a friend who asked her friends, in her blog, about when they do their prayer and devotions, and how they go about it. This got me thinking of my own struggles, at times, when I don't take the time, in my day, to spend time with God. Those days I don't, my heart aches and hungers, it is disturbed, and it's hard to get through the day. Quite awhile ago, I wanted to start spending time with Him before my day starts. There are many men and women, that I know, that do just that. There are some that get up at 3 or 4 in the morning! What faithfulness! What devotion to God!! I sometimes wonder if I'm willing to do the same. I could easily say, no, that's just crazy, I rather sleep. But isn't that a bit selfish? Isn't it more important that your time is spent with God? I'm not saying that getting up that early is what we need to do to be truly devoted to God; but it's the willingness, the faithfullness, the hunger to be with God! "In the mor...

Please watch this video of Cardboard Testimonies. To see how the Lord God has worked in so many of these lives, just brings tears in your eyes.

This family just absolutly inspires me everytime I see them, especially Michelle Duggar! Here is a recent clip I found for a Mother's Day Special. The link below will direct you to the page of the video. You will have to copy and paste it in your web browser. It won't let me make it a link. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24537885/ Enjoy!
