14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 ESV Whenever I read about the miracles that happened in the Bible, my mind transports to a time in history where it seems as though such extraordinary occurrences were commonplace. Or is it […]

Lift Your Spirit
The Latin translation of the word ‘noel’ means ‘to give birth.’ So as we joyfully sing this Christmas classic of the first noel, we are commemorating the birth of Christ as a baby. In essence, the Messiah coming down to live among those whom He designed. Sounds a bit complex … and to a degree, […]
Lift Your Spirit
We all have one — our favorite Christmas song. And this is mine. Every year, I try to listen to a different artist’s rendition of this timeless classic. For the Believer, we pause and bend the knees of our heart when we consider the importance of what happened the night the Christ child was born. […]
Lift Your Spirit
As a mom of three adult children, it’s hard for me to think that the night Jesus came down was a silent one. I’ll agree with you that it was a holy night. A sanctified night. A night like no other in all history. Because it was His Story to tell. But silent? Hmmm … […]

“Maligayang Pasko!” (Tagalog for Merry Christmas) Christmas is the most loved seasons in the Philippines. So much, that they begin decorating in August. Sounds incredible, but that’s what the country believes should be done to express their love for the Savior. Even amongst those who do not share the Christian faith, a respect is given […]

9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to […]
Lift Your Spirit
There’s just something about hearing this song in the language of the people through whom Jesus came. Melts my ❤️ every time I listen. We joyfully sing and beckon Him to ‘Come!’ Yet, are we ready for what that entails? Are we prepared for Him to return again? He came the first time and was […]
Lift Your Spirit
Would you be willing to invite GOD to come to your house? Maybe consider inviting Him to spend just the day with you? If we’re totally honest, there are days we would NOT want Him to see — maybe our bad attitude, poor behavior, words hurled at others … If Jesus were to step into […]
“The Shepherd”
As a visual person, I love movies that capture my attention to the point I must re-watch and experience over and over again. And that’s what happened last year when my friend, Becki, introduced me to “The Chosen.” I’ve been connected ever since. This is the mini-movie that launched the full series. It aired this […]
Lift Your Spirit
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). Matthew 1:22-23 NIV Immanuel — GOD with us. This is mind-blowing if you really stop to think about it. GOD. With. Us. A […]
