This is the most important Godfirmation of all, and it has been on my heart heavy these days!
Does it ever sink in with y’all that God really loves us? And that He loved us enough to send Jesus to die on the cross for our sins so that we could live eternally with Him? All of this was planned out before we on Earth were even born. That’s wild to me STILL.

It’s officially December and Christmas is right around the corner! While the holidays are often lauded as a time to eat, spend time with loved ones, and get presents, this season is truly about JESUS. The Advent (“Arrival”) season, as this period is also called in the Christian community, is about celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior.
Because we can get caught up in all of the hoopla that comes with this season, we all need a reminder that Jesus should be our focus this December. With that being said, here are five ways that you can reflect and celebrate Jesus this Advent season.

Sharing this Godfirmation to kick off the week! My dad sometimes references Psalm 37:25-26 when we chat, referring to how God is truly a provider in this life. He is a generous God who provides for the righteous AND their children.
It is a reminder, especially in uncertain and dark seasons, that God takes care of His children. And it’s not just in terms of opportunity and money, either.

I was randomly on Peacock a while ago and started finding different faith-based movies. One that I watched, and really liked was the 2015 indie film, “Once I Was A Beehive” starring Paris Warner, Mila Smith, and Lisa Clark. Even as a grown woman, I will watch a teen show/movie in a second!
Here’s a short synopsis:
After losing her father to cancer, a teenage girl, Lane, reluctantly joins her new stepcousin, Phoebe, at a summer camp for Latter-day Saint (Mormon) girls. (To add on more, her mother remarried someone about a year later).
Though I am a Baptist Christian and don’t subscribe to all of the beliefs of the Mormon faith, I still think that this movie has a special message about faith, fun, and friendship. Plus, as you soon will tell, I’m a sucker for cheesy, campy movies!
Here are three great takeaways from “Once I Was a Beehive” (and the trailer!).

Some days ago, I saw this video circulating on my Facebook timeline from Cliffe Knechtle. He is the Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church in New Canaan, CT, as well as the host and founder of the “Give Me an Answer” ministry. He alongside son Stuart Knechtle, has thought-provoking discussions with others surrounding faith and doubts.
While on a college campus (much of his engagement has been with students), Cliffe engaged with a young woman who made an interesting point: If God is all-knowing, then why do we need to pray? That’s a valid question because God does already know the things on our minds and hearts. But our prayers are more than for God to grant what we want. Ultimately, He wants to hear from and connect with US!
