For the rest of this week…..

Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I pray that everyone that had snow is safe and dug out. Did y'all meet your goals you had planned last week or did you get off track? Remember to give yourself some grace. Just get back up and keep going. God's got you ad He is helping you to overcome and meet the goals He has planned for you. What are your goals for today and the rest of the week? Are there any ways you can break them down into smaller goals so that you can reach the complete goal over all? What is your incentive or incentives for reaching this goal or goals? Quote of the day: Sometime in order to find an answer we have to take a step back and shift our perspective to see the situation or circumstances from a different angel. When we see ourselves giving advice to someone else who could be in the same situation or circumstances, what would that advice be? When we learn to take a step back and see the circumstance or situation from God's point of view, we will find the answer we are looking for or seeking.

Happy Monday Everyone!! I pray y'all had a very happy weekend. What is one thing that you enjoyed this weekend? For us, we are enjoying the company of my husband being home for some extra time because of the snow and the blowing blizzard winds and spring brake for our daughter this week. So truly grateful to God for this time. Quote of the Day: Be intentional with your time. You are a creative and intelligent person because God is creative and the most intelligent person and God. His understanding and knowledge cannot even be comprehended. It's far beyond our imagination and thoughts. He Is all Knowing, All Powerful, All Powerful. Reminder: Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. Chicago time zone, we have a weekly session. So excited and looking forward to this time with y'all.

Hello Beautiful Community and Friends!! I decided to read Isa. for a Scripture for the word "Resilient" last night. Isa. 43:4, but while I read this little section I decided I did not want to take this out of context, especially when we write. You want to get a bigger picture and to maybe see more around the Scripture at what is going on. I went on to read most of Isa. 43.(v. 1-21, 25-26) What I found in this was so much more. There were questions that were answered and we are able to relate them to our lives as Believers or Followers of Christ. I think there could still be more to this reading, but for now I am going to make this short. My encouragement for you this weekend is to take some time to read Isa. 43. I would like for you to note who God calls Isreal, who He says HE Is, what will happen in the fire and water, what the animals do, and anything else that you can notice or have questions about. Note: as I am writing this I did go back and read the verses I did not, at least that I may not have read last night. You are able to relate this to today as well. For those who may not know this, in the Old Testament they had to sacrifice animals that had no spots, grain offerings, and I'm not sure on the money part. As you look at this you may realize that those sacrifices had meaning behind them. The sacrifices were also a leading up to what God was going to do through one Man, His Only Begotten Son Jesus who died in our place so that we could seek forgiveness, accept Jesus as our Personal Lord and Savior, and have the chance to spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus. I would love to hear what you think about this reading and what you take away from it. We may all learn something from one another. Happy reading and Happy Weekend everyone. Please, if you have any insights, do share them with us all. I do not know everything and a great leader is also a great learner. Would love to hear your thoughts Pastor @Joe Grabowski !!

Happy Friday Everyone!! I have spent time with God and the name of the community is going to be changing to "Faith, Hope, and Photography. The reason behind this change is the main focus of this community right now and moving forward is going to be on healing. When will be using photography some, but God is guiding me on how I can incorporate this into this community. My calling is to help other people heal. So I have started being directed to being a "Life Healing Coach." What this means is there will be weekly meetings on Tuesdays at 2:30 P.M. In these training or sessions we will be focusing on a specific area that fits what the article I have written in my blog of "Faith and Healing 2" which is what God has directed me to write for each person to make process moving forward on their journey in life. There will be downloadable material that I will included for some of the trainings or sessions. The focus is help people to be transformed by the renewing of their mind, to be rooted in their identity in Christ, to be healed as a whole person, not just part, but the whole person, to step into their calling and walk out their calling God has for them. I will be also using photography in part of this healing process with the word of the month and some session or training calls. There will be some activities that will be included with photography as well. My heart is to help people heal, become whole, rooted and grounded in their identity in Christ, help step into their calling, know what they possess in Christ, and walk in the calling God has for them so they too can help other people become healed. We will still have a game night, just not sure yet. Please help by posting what day and time works best for you below. In the Tabs at the top, you will start to notice some changes as well. I am so grateful for each and everyone of you and being a part of this community. Without God guiding you to this community, there would be no community. So To God I give the Glory and Praise that is all HIS doing and His Community. God makes this community special through y'all.
