“God is the Gift that keeps on Giving!”
Saturday night I was able to share at our annual Women's Christmas Event. It was so much fun seeing the girls that came out, and I believe we experienced such a glorious time together.
We discussed going HIGHER is NOTHING but GOOD and going HIGHER is all that is LIGHT and all that is BEAUTIFUL!

Love and Hugs to all of you!

When you look at this picture what do you see?
Do you tend to say... "Look at the traffic." "Bummer, the day looks gray," "Don't those people know motorcycles are so dangerous." "Boy, that building needs a lot of work."
Or do you tend to say... "Whoa, cool building!" "Look at those amazing streets!" "Look at the pretty puffy clouds!" "How much fun does that look like on those motorcycles!"
Now I am going to ask you... In your personal life, wether you are just going through an ordinary day or one of the biggest crises' you have ever been in... In the same way, what are you looking at and how are you viewing it? What are you amplifying in your life?
It's a scary thing to sometimes do this but so very worth it... Talk to God and say "Father, help me to see things the way you do and reveal to me where I have not been seeing things right. reveal to me where I am seeing the worst of things and literally magnifying the bad in others. Help me to live a life of thanksgiving and seeing all the beauty around and actually being a vessel to impart the Light of Christ in my personal life. Help me to begin to walk in the Light... "
God will blow your mind as you have courage enough to pray this. Your life will turn into living color. You will now be on a fresh path of life with the God of Love.
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Looking out my window from my studio it's dark. Except for a tree I decided to put strings of light on the other day. I wanted that tree to shine nice and bright and I wanted it all lit up and glistening pretty.
Is there some darkness in our lives? Anywhere?
I'm going to ask the Lord to show me any place in my life that is dark or has darkness there to light it up with all that is of Him. Because I don't want to be dark. Its destructive and never pretty.
Our God is famous for bringing in light. He wants to "String up lights" in our lives. His love will shine in and through us in every area of our lives! So beautiful!
“And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.”
And now God says in our lives... "Let there be light," and there will be light!
My youngest son Ben has recently heard from several TV networks, "We would love to air Hope Generation!" So now 🙌 Hope Generation with Ben Courson is airing on Direct TV Channel 367 at 7/10pm EST, and starting December 2nd he will be on Dish Channel 82 after Joyce Meyer 8/ll EST on Friday mornings. (You can go to Ben's website by going to bencouson.com for all the info, and you can actually watch the program from there as well).
This is so exciting to see the Lord opening up such big doors nationally! Ben's favorite verse is Romans 15:13 "Now may the God of HOPE fill you all with joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Today I want my precious readers to know that the God of HOPE is there for every single individual. There are no exceptions. What or where in your life are you doubting the goodness of God or where do you need the light to infiltrate your life or circumstances?
HE. WILL. MEET. YOU. He will bring HOPE and WILL. Deliver. YOU!
Take a short 28 minutes and watch one of Hope Generation's TV episodes aired a couple weeks ago. You will "go away armed with the scriptures of HOPE" and you will realize "you are kids of the Psalms 47 King" and you will know "the God of HOPE who created the universe is YOUR Daddy!"
Watch here!

A couple weeks ago (pictured above) as I was holding my grandson Everett, I was thinking there is not a time that my heart isn't completely captured by his adorable genuine smile. It truly gets me every time!
It makes me want to remind us all that Our Father loves LOVES to see us smile. We are created in His image I believe for reasons just like this. So that we are aware of the joy He feels when we smile.
Let's be those today looking for the good. Let's be those that find reasons to smile because they are there. A smile is a powerful weapon...as we smile our spirits begin being lifted up, and also it lifts the spirits around us.
As we smile, we will be making the Father smile. That's just cool!
“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart...”
Last week Jon and I were able to spend a couple days during the Thanksgiving season in Seattle with our beautiful daughter Christy and our son-in-law Seth.
We ate tons of food and had a bunch of fun, great conversation and lots of laughs. We enjoyed Seth being funny as always, scrumptious breakfasts at beautiful restaurants, delicious and eye-catching snacks at Christy's cozy home, and Seth served us sparkling cider and a delicious Thanksgiving meal at the restaurant he works at.
As I was thinking of how thankful I was for these beautiful few days, I couldn't help but think of how some people during the holidays are truly heartbroken because maybe they just lost a loved one, have estrangements with family members, marriage problems that seem overwhelming, or are going through some really hard things they never thought they would have to go through and can't picture a warm and cozy holiday season.
I want you to know you will get on the other side of your worries and problems no matter how impossible it might seem at the moment. No matter how much it might even be due to your very own mistakes. Or not.
Walk with God and you will find him faithful. This truth is for every single person. Our loving Father is there for you and as crazy as it sounds, you will look back and actually see how God turned all this around for the good. He WILL meet you during this time in a special way!
Don't give up precious friends!
“But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”
Order on Amazon
I ordered my oldest son's book on Amazon and read the entire book in less than an hour.
I will never forget sitting by his bedside the morning he woke up from this vision he shared in this book that just came out. It was real.
You can read my earlier post from August 30th for more on this. 😊
To try and say more about Peter's book, though, would mess it up so I'm just going to encourage you to get it and read it for yourselves!
My own thoughts for you for today, pray this prayer "...Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10) Let's ask our Father how we can bring some heaven to earth today... Heaven is a beautiful and fun dance party in the purest form. He WILL show us how to do that. He will empower us to do that!
“Our Savior is awaiting His bride to dance within the city walls.”

Read a great short story in the Bible. Mark 3:1-6. The picture above is where the story took place.
Jesus asked a man with a withered hand to "step forward" after he saw that there were people there who thought it was against their religious laws to heal someone on the sabbath. Jesus did it anyway. He was so angry and grieved at just how hard their hearts had gotten.
Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, "Stretch out your hand," and the man stretched it out, and as he did, he was healed.
There are a couple really important lessons here at the very least to learn in this short story.
1- Don't become the kind of person that loses heart for people. That cares more about rules than they do about kindness and love.
2- When Jesus asks us to step forward, step forward. Where we need help, listen to what the Father says for us to do. As we do it, we will see Gods faithfulness in making us whole.
“Stretch out your hand. And he stretch it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.”
