Capturing December 2nd

December 2nd - My Favorite Holiday Movie

I once read a book where it said our life was like a stage with a director and many actors around us! 
I'm not sure how good it would be to take that example to the extreme...
However I think it does have some very valid points. In the book it was saying that after we were born into the family of God we are put on stage for the audience (the world) to watch us. Our Heavenly Father being the director guides us as we "act"... we still have a free choice of if we are going to listen to the directing and make the play (our life) a glory, a true reflection of the director, or if we are going to do our own thing.

This time of year may be a time of rejoicing, happiness, joy, and peace for many people. However for others it could be a time of grief, sadness, questions, and anxiety. Whoever you may be, wherever you may be, try to reach out to those around you who are hurting... make this very special time of year special to them, and see as God reaches out to you and comforts you in ways you'd never be able to imagine! 

Let those around you know you love them - whether you're able to say it right to them, sending them a "smile" in the mail, or just praying for them! 
Remember the reason for the season and spread the good news!

I pray that my life would reflect the Director and that I would be able to shine for Him! Looking forward to watching as He works out His will in and through us!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

South Africa 2016

This is a super overdue post and I struggled to find the pictures I wanted to add, but here is what I came up with...ENJOY! I surprised my younger brother by purchasing an airline ticket months in advance, but waited to tell him he was coming with me till a week or so before. He had been talking about wanting to travel with me to South Africa, and I was so glad that it worked out! You're never too young to experience these things in life! James (and clan) dropped us off at the airport - So appreciated this, as parking and flying wasn't the most ideal for a four week trip. I booked our layover for Switzerland as I had a friend I wanted to visit, as well as Switzerland had been on my bucket list of places to explore! My friend picked us up from the airport and brought us back to her place for breakfast and a quick shower! She had the whole day planned out so well. We visited the Carma Chocolate Academy  which is where they make and produce the chocolate for all...
