The Table

Today’s post is a guest post by Angela. You can look forward to seeing a post from her once a month.

Recently I refinished my sister’s dining room table.  When I was stripping the paint I quickly realized there were many layers.  It appeared that previous owners had simply put new paint on instead of stripping the old away and starting with the bare wood.  The result was a mess.  Before I started stripping the table it wasn’t terrible- the newest layer of paint had mostly covered the imperfections but it was far from the beautiful table it once was.

Light in the Darkness

This week God really laid on my heart to research the word light and what it means to be a light.  The Bible tells us to let our light shine.  I was listening to Planetshakers sermon this week from Russell Evans and he said, “We’re not going to be dictated by darkness.  We’re going to bring the light.  Light is more powerful than darkness.  So many people worried about the darkness.  Just turn the light on.”

Get Some Help

Welcome to 2019 and all your new goals! I am not making any official new year resolutions but that’s just mainly because I know I won’t stick to them. I am doing at 10 day – 10 minutes a day workout challenge because I thought it would be fun and it would help me get back into better workout habits after losing that over the holidays (Shout out to Bryan with Bones to Bulk for putting it together. Check him out on Facebook). Yesterday at work, I helped move our food pantry. I was literally moving 13 pound cases of veggies all day long. I didn’t think we would ever get to the bottom of the stacks.

2018 Christmas Card

Here we are again. I can’t believe it is already Christmas. With that it’s time for the yearly update (that will probably not bring much new news thanks to social media). We moved in March, and our tree’s location at our new house did not allow us to continue our “Christmas card pose.” We did move the couch and attempt to get it, but couldn’t get the camera angle for it because of the island in our kitchen. So here is the new look for 2018:

The Never Ending Story

Christmas is a time to remember and be thankful that Jesus came to the earth to die for our sins.  It’s a time to reflect on what Jesus did for us.  This year God has reminded me of another important part of the Christmas story- I am completely unworthy of what He did.  I am a mess and a sinner, and in spite of all that Jesus still came to the earth.  I was, and still am, so undeserving of that gift.

Season of Advent: Hope

One of the things I love about Christmas is the traditions surrounding Christmastime.  Our family has a few Christmas traditions, but this year we decided to start a new one.  This Christmas, Angela and I decided the kids were old enough to start the tradition of  an advent wreath and going through daily devotions with them.  It is something I haven’t done since I was a kid.  Angela made a wreath and we do daily devotions around the dinner table.
