Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, which means that chocolate abounds. So for all of you health-conscious chocolate lover’s out there…don’t sweat it. Just remember that chocolate comes from cocoa, which is a tree. That makes it a plant. That means that chocolate is salad. 🙂
“‘…I have given every green plant for food.’ And it was so.” Genesis 1:30b (ESV)

I came across another friend for Phteven!
“But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.”” Exodus 4:10 (NLT)

This week I’m sharing the Top 10 Posts of 2015. I like to take the first of the year to recount some of the top or most popular posts of the previous year. I like to share them for a couple of reasons…
First, there are several new subscribers/followers who may not have seen or read these posts and might find some of them to be helpful.
Secondly, looking back also helps me to remember what God has done and is still doing through this website (that I oh-so-reluctantly started…and sometimes still reluctantly continue!).
Lastly, it helps me (and hopefully you too) know how to pray based on what the current need or demand is, and when I know that I know how to continue to pray for others. For example, 3 of the most popular posts have to do with leading someone to Christ or praying for someone to come to Christ. For starters this makes me SUPER excited to know that people are actively seeking these types of websites out. To me this means that the body of Christ is continuing to grow, and I know to continue to pray for the people who have come across these posts to have boldness to lead someone to the Lord and to agree in prayer with them that their unsaved loved ones will be saved and grow in their relationship with God. Another example, is that the posts about being unloved and unwanted are overwhelmingly popular…which makes me so sad to know that there are so many people feeling unloved and unwanted. I continue to pray that they will know and fully experience the love of God and of others.
“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” Luke 2:10 (NIV)
Below is a video of the Story of Christmas, as told by Pastor Willie George and the Creative Team at Church on the Move in Tulsa, OK. This is one of the most amazing retellings of the Christmas story that I have ever heard. It has been an annual tradition at our church for the past several years. It gives me chills and brings me to tears every time.
Wishing you and your families great joy this Christmas! Merry Christmas and may God bless you as His Son, Jesus fills your lives!
