June FREE Tutorials! 2021 Plan-with-me set-up
The sparkling night sky has always been a source of wonder, comfort, and mystery to me. It makes me want to discover more of God who made it all. The cosmos is so huge, vast beyond imagination. To know the Great Creator of the universe is also the one who loves me is so amazing and wonder-full! There is nothing too hard for my God -YHVH (Yahweh) my Elohim!
The sky is the limit...
If I were to pick a metaphor representing outrageous hope and possibilities, in spite of the darkness and unknowns, it would be the night sky on a clear evening. There is always something new to see and discover - Similar to the vast ocean it is ever changing and ever the same. Looking up at the inky indigo sky sparkling with diamonds, and our beautiful moon, anything seems possible. When I trust the One who made it all, and believe that He loves little ol' me, I regain vision and discover the dreams planned for me, bringing light to my darkness. For further insight & Re-vision...

What has gone well this year that I want to continue?

"seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.
And all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33 KJV
“O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength,
silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority—
the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!”
Psalm 8 NLT
