These past 2 months have gone by so fast; when I think about all the times the Lord has blessed me it leaves me speechless. I am amazed and in awe of God’s love and mercy for me everyday. He gives me the opportunity to wake up each morning and choose joy, love, peace and kindness. His mercies are new EVERY morning! Can you believe that?  To me this means that when I have a bad day or have sinned, the Father blesses me with his unconditional love and mercy each and every day. It doesn’t matter what I have done or what I haven’t done, what I have said or haven’t said, I still receive his kindness.

Lamentations 3:22-23 “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed. Because His compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

His kindness may look different for everyone. It may come in the form of spiritual blessings such as receiving peace or joy, it may also come in the form or physical blessings such as a healthy life or a new car! For me I have found that when I get frustrated in a situation, He gives me peace and lets me know that He is there for me, holding my hand through it. That he will never leave me nor forsake me (Deuteronomy 31:6). At times, I may not see his kindness and mercy; so that’s when I take a step back and really look at what the Lord has done for me.

Recently, the Father has shown me his kindness through our hosts as they provide for us. He has shown me his love through my team as they love and cherish me well. He shows me his mercy and grace when I doubt him or don’t choose to spend time with him, yet He is still there waiting patiently for me.  

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! For his merciful kindness is great toward us; And the truth of the Lord endures forever.” -Psalm 117:1-2

“Oh, gives thanks to the Lord, for He is GOOD! For his mercy endures forever.” -Psalm 118:1

I love you all, and thank God for you.  Thank you for your love, prayers and your support along my journey. May you be completely blessed this Christmas.  I can’t wait to share our new adventures coming up in January.  Stay tuned and keep the prayers coming.  Until then…Merry Christmas!!
