“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
~Acts 17:24-28
Our dear Friend, Deborah Forster shares: 'I know this beautiful young woman and her story of such incredible miracles of hearing from God and then watching Him perform His word without fail, even when things felt like they were failing. This story may sound too good to be true, but I can personally attest to it as a legit miracle! Debb Forster shares this: Deborah Forster
Jorge and Anna Marie Parrott, and Nancy G Daniel, you all met Loni's father in law, my friend Warren B.alisky when we went to Red Deer some years ago. And at that time I had asked Warren if Steve and Loni were having kids because I was sensing "pregnancy". Warren told me they had been told that pregnancy wasn't an option, but 2 months later he announced they'd found out Loni was pregnant! And then I knew there were miracles fixin to happen! This is such a great testimony and I cry with joy everytime I hear it!' https://www.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR0s2tA5OuFQuuyFCsNfhjwl3dq6mQ_G5d6WON7VbiuAwQ9LgvIOSPwgRVk&v=mpH7hicGJb4&feature=youtu.be

2 Chronicles 20 has been our guiding scripture this year. We say "Lord we don't know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." And He responds: "Have faith in Me and in My prophets, and you will have victory." This is the same admonition Jesus always gave under impossible circumstances. To Jairus He said: "Fear not. Only believe."
We need this lesson.
Being the first to tread on fresh snow is a precious experience. I used to deliberately put on my walking boots when the first snow fell to seek the fields and hills above our village. Listening to the satisfying crunch of new snow and the twittering finches in the hedgerows always made my heart praise God for His beautiful Creation.
Pray for our friends in Myanmar and our leader, Dr. David Joy. They are experiencing a coup. Pray for the Lord to shine brighter! From Fox news, the military actually did something due to voter fraud in their November election: "Myawaddy TV, which is controlled by the military, announced the takeover and cited a section of the military-drafted constitution due to-voter fraud in last November's election and its failure to postpone the election because of the coronavirus crisis."
Even as a Christian you are not the finished article. At no point have you finished training for godliness, it's a lifetime's work.

I think language changes you. To truly speak another language you often have give yourself over to another culture - to think differently. Sitting at a table last night, breaking bread and surrounded by amazing Chinese friends made me realize how much I have missed fellowshipping in the Chinese language.
I text and speak Chinese every day, but to be in fellowship together, eating, bonding - that is truly something else entirely.
Are you Free FROM Sin? Does that means He failed? "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." -Matthew 1:21 #FreedomFromSin
