The 1st Post - Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello Everyone!

I’ve wanted to start a weblog for several months now and thought Thanksgiving would be the perfect day to start. This blog is an addition to the Living Life website, new CD next year, and the current Living Life Tour. You’ll read observations I make about life, updates on the Living Life happenings, devotionals, and much more. I love to be able to share life’s observations with you. I have always loved being an encourager to others. You just never know what I may come up with to write!

It’s been an interesting year so far. I’ve grown so much as a worship leader and a follower of Christ. I graduated from college. I’ve learned first-hand that there are some Christian leaders who are not what they seem and not in the ministry for the glory of God (of course, the Bible tells us that this will happen), - and thank God for the good ones - and I’ve learned personally that God does have a plan and a will for everyone.

On this day and as we begin the Christmas season, let’s celebrate the blessings God has given us this year. Though it may not have been the greatest year for some of you out there, remember the blessing of knowing Jesus and if you don’t, please e-mail with any questions you have to make sure that you get saved and know for sure that you’re on your way to heaven!

I leave you with these verses from Psalm 100:3-5 (NIV):
“Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.”

And I leave you with this quote from President Abraham Lincoln:

Abraham Lincoln The year that is drawing towards its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.


In His Grip!
