You don't want any of this

In case you missed the news, you should read the news here.

And I'll say it one more time. You don't want any of this beast.

Majesty

In April, 2006, a retroactive computerization from one telescopic discovery was released on the media airways that brought NASA to its knees.

"From the moment of inception, the cosmos expanded billions of light years in the first trillionth of a second."

Defying all laws of physics and far exceeding every natural explanation , our 100 billion galaxy cosmos went from "a mathematical point" (absolute zero) to a six million, million, billion mile wide expanse in a fraction of the twinkling of an eye.

Majesty.

So great was the realization of NASA's scientific research lab's director, Dr. Robert Jastrow explained, "Now we know with absolute certainty that supernatural forces were at work in the creation of the universe."

--- This note was taken from Won 2 One by Joe White. It is a 24 week discipleship curriculum that I have been going through with two men from our church. I look forward to our meetings every week!

Doesn't this make your day???

This video changed my life. :-)

Max Lucado has some words of wisdom....AGAIN

Our cell family has been reading and discussing the book Facing Your Giants by Max Lucado. God always has a way of reminding us His promises at the most opportune times. I just thought I'd share this paragraph for anyone who needs to read it as much as me.

David saw Goliath as a chance for God to show off!.......What if you saw your giant in the same manner? Rather than begrudge him, welcome him. Your cancer is God's chance to flex his healing muscles. Your sin is God's opportunity to showcase grace. Your struggling marriage can billboard God's power. See your struggle as God's canvas. On it he will paint his multicolored supremacy. Announce God's name and then reach for...

Just want you all to keep watching for God to show off. I know he will, he always does. He shows up and provides everything we need...and sometimes abundantly more.

FYI- I love my husband who is a wonderful daddy! I'm so thankful for him. He's investing in Brylee today while me and Halle bond at home.

Third World Diet

It is estimated that 50-60% of the world's population lives on rice and beans alone. I can't remember the last time that I even considered eating rice and beans. Can you?

Yesterday, we challenged The Bridge Community to spend five to seven days straight eating nothing but rice and beans. Why? We want our community to get a sense of what it is like to live on a Third World Diet.

We are once again participating in the Advent Conspiracy. You can read more about our church's involvement here. I won't be doing the rice and beans diet this week, but I will blog about my experience when I begin. So stay tuned! Also, I challenge you all to try the third world diet and to consider how you can become a part of the Advent Conspiracy this Christmas season.
