Well, I guess it is time to get ready for the next season, spring.
I have found that there are seasons of life too. There are many in fact. Seasons of exhaustion, seasons of fear, seasons of excitement, seasons of sorrow, seasons of loneliness and many more.
In the Bible, in the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 describes a number of seasons.
Did you know that one season of life leads to another. 2 Timothy 4:2 says " be prepared in season and out of season"
How are we suppose to do that? By renewing our minds in reading God's Word and praying to our Heavenly Father. God does not indicate He will remove or change the season we are in, however He will be with us through it , if we allow Him to. Romans 12: 2 states " God's will is " .. good, pleasing and perfect.."
Maybe the season you are in right now is not so cool. God promises that He will make "a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert" Isaiah 42:19. And that is pretty cool. Man has a hard time making a path through a wilderness and irrigating a desert. But GOD does not have a problem with that.
Come join some Sunday to learn more about God's Word and learn how to be prepared for every season.

Well, the New Year is offering new challenges for us. How about you? I am starting a new study book ,author Joyce Meyer, titled "Be Anxious for Nothing". Boy, that is hard not to be anxious.
There are schedules to meet, bills to pay, kids to raise, jobs that are intense and or no job at all.
Who can help me? John 14:27 " Peace I leave with you; My own peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you."
That is saying to me that the things of the world can cause me aggravation, but God gives a peace and willed me his peace in times of storm. I like that kind of inheritance.
I am so thankful for Eastpoint Family Church , where I can learn God's word and help me understand how to get through lifes issues. Come and join me some Sunday or Wednesday night.
All of us need help and I have found that being in God's house is the best place to find it.

Pastor told a story last week about a little girl who had such a wonderful Christmas and had so many toys to unwrap. She went to her parents and said " Can Mary and Joseph have another baby next year?" She wanted to make sure she could have the same event happen again for her.
You know , if we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, we have Him all year round. Thank goodness. I need HIM everyday.
If you have not experienced Christ, now is the time. Please join us at Eastpoint for our Christmas Eve 6:30-7:30 service and our Christmas Day 11:00 service. Come experience HIS love. When you think no one loves you, HE does.

Today was Grandparents Day for our special needs grandson. We felt so honored to be there.
However, both my husband and I had a sad moment, thinking how disappointing it is to see children including ours that struggle to do normal life skills.
Then I was reminded of the verse that the Lord gave me when my grandson was born.
Psalm 139:14 "....for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvellous are thy works...", God has a special plan for his life even with special challenges in living a normal life.
Pastor's sermon Sunday is "What the baby in the manager didn't do" . This should be a good one. There are times I ask " why God didn't you do this and that". His answer is "I gave my only son, who was perfect, to come as a baby and grow and then die on a cross for your sins."
Thats good enough for me.

Well, the race has began! 26 more days until Christmas Day. Do you already feel your heart racing? Can I get all that I need to be done? Is there enough money for all I need to purchase?
Do I have enough credit left on my credit card to charge? Will I be able to pay the bill when it comes in? Is grandma going to be mad if I don't come to dinner for Christmas at her house instead of my husband's mother? Wow, maybe we should just skip Christmas.
Oh yeah, Christmas is about JESUS coming as a baby. A rejoicing time to be thankful that JESUS came to save our lives from sin.
This Sunday, Pastor Claude will sharing " Surviving the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."
You know what, I think I need to hear this sermon. Come and join me.

Pastor is continuing his sermon series referring to the guardrails that are placed in our lives.
Matthew 6:24 states " No man can serve two masters". Unfortunately, we all want to run our own lives until we hit a bump and then call out "God help me". Being the heavenly Father that God is, he doesn't shout out saying " you idiot didn't you see the guardrail I put up for you". The guardrail of doubt about a certain relationship or business deal. The guardrail of "waiting" or "directing our life from destruction with alcohol and drugs". But NO we want to run our lives, because we know better than God. But God is so loving and is always wooing us to HIM.
Please come join Sunday,as Pastor shares from Daniel 1:5-9 "Make up your mind , guardrail once and for all"
