Good morning to you... and soon a very Happy New Year!! :)

Here's a recap from Sunday's service:

Spencer's - Something to Think About (Christmas Story)

- Sheppards... why Sheppards?

- They were the lowest of society.

- Magi... why Magi?

- They were well educated.

- They lived far away.

- And how did they know the Jewish prophesies?!

- Jewish People... why not?

- High Priests.

- King Herod.

- How did they not hear the angels... or see the star??

- There was commotion but no one else came to see what was going on at the stable.

- The Sheppards... They listened.

- The Magi... saw the star and followed.

- The Jewish people... were just too busy.

- If we considered the Bible as an allegory, here we can understand that ALL can come to Christ, if they listen and obey. No matter education, religion, race... providing you have to watch for the signs.

( WOW!!)

Sara Whiney brought the Message:

- There are two things you can count on... Trouble and God.

- 2 Corinthians 9:15

- If Jesus is indescribable... how do you describe Him??

(then she spoke on her hearts cry... Women and their self-worth).

- Where do we get our image? What a woman has to look like?

- We need to look at God for our image!

- The world destroys our image

- Even ladies in the church buy into these lies.

- You're a Princess!! You're a child of the Most High God!!

- We Spiritually need to put on that crown every day!

(then she told she story of marrying her US husband)

- 2005 she married her US husband.

- after being stopped at the border being told she needed appropriate forms, she had to stay in Canada while saying 'good-bye' to her new husband and his 3 children.

- For something that was originally said to take 6months... took 6 years battling with immigration.

- Trouble or the Presence of God??

- In all trouble... God is present!!

- Sara was well away of God's presence through this LONG 6 year process.

Job 13:15

Job 19:25

Hebrews 4:15

Psalm 1:12

Ephesians 3:20

2 Corinthians 4:18

2 Corinthians 9:15

- This Jesus... we can't describe Him... we can only live it!!

Another night where I just wanted to sit and listen to the speaker, as she told of her heart and her story, but some things were to much to keep to myself.

You are blessed!!
