MARRIED to Michael Hoyle for one month today
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed. Married by Pastor Marc Maffucci at Quail Lakes Baptist church on 11/17/12. We were LED by the Spirit to join Bearcreek Church in Lodi where Kevin and Paula attend. A non-denominational church that boasts in the Lord Jesus, and His church does NOT refuse anyone! Halleluiah!
Absolutely Momma Mia, thank you for your thought of Jesus Christ this Christmas. We are NOT ashamed of being
ReplyDeleteChristians! Jesus Christ is our Saviour, Immanuel means
GOD WITH US. In the old testament of Isaiah...hundreds
of years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote
about the baby to be born, named God With Us, Immanuel.
God came down to embody a human form, so that we could
BELIEVE in Him by seeing Him. Then God sent His only
Son Jesus to ransom us, to suffer for us, to die for us that
we may be cleansed, made holy, to be presented to a holy God.
Christmas is about God Himself coming to earth - He humbled Himself, He was born, He walked among us, and He was without sin, yet crucified as the Pharisees could NOT let go of their traditions, their understanding of God's word. Michael and I pray for the
leaders of the USA, the world, our City council, the world as it is, is in the dark. Jesus is the Light of the world and His way is perfect.
