Worth It All

I had the sweetest comment sent to me this week.

Maintaining the allaboutHim forum is something I truly enjoy, but it can be hard to see the evidence of how it is being used in people’s lives. These little glimpses are such an encouragement!!! Thanks Jean! :)

“…for the things we are planning, and for future Christmas event planning, we are enjoying the forethought that your site provides. I especially appreciate that it doesn’t load me with more stuff to do, but rather helps me be more realistic, and un-load some of my previous expectations. It helps me proactively plan for Jesus, rather than get caught up in the chaos and commercialism that historically has surrounded my family at this time.”

Ready for the Ride

I started a new Bible study this week. I LOVE starting a new Bible study. I am always so excited to see what God will teach me, where He will take me, what I will see for the first time, how God’s Word will speak directly to me as if it was written with Dear Angela at the top of the page.

Don’t get me wrong, I work hard to be sure my Bible studies are not a substitute for my time sitting just with my Bible, asking God to show me what He has for me today, but I also love the fellowship that comes from a group of women studying His Word together. I always receive such practical wisdom and insight from listening to other ladies share what God has taught them.

This probably sounds a little cheesy, but as I hold this new study in my hands I feel like I’m jumping on a train. I don’t know exactly where it’s going, what stops we will be making or where I will ultimately end up, but I do know that God will be talking to me all along the way and I wouldn’t miss that for anything.

And with His light He will show you truth

Have you heard this song?  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!  Here are some of the words…

There Could Never be a More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz

There could never be a more beautiful you
Defy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl

There could never be a more beautiful you
Defy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
