Hey yall!

I have 2 announcements for you today.

#1 My blog is going to be having surgery soon to get a face lift!
So...you may see a few  changes over the next couple of weeks.
My blog is quite young so we decided to give it a more "adult" feel, if you know what i mean.
So please bare with me as I figure things out.

#2  I will be a little absent as of today because I have alot of preperation for college so I will be very busy for the next few weeks.

Have a great day and talk to you in the new year!

I think Christmas is here.

Every time we have our annual church Christmas party,it signals to me that Christmas is finally here.

In fact we came up with some pretty cool and creative ideas.

My favorite was a hot cocoa station.

Since our church is small we put the cocoa station on the table with the desserts.

 This is the one I made.

We also sang carols!

Yummy food!we had some fun games like the giant candy silo phone ball game, two handed gift wrappers(2 people wrapping a preasent together)

Any way that's that.

Did y'all have a fun party?

I'd love to see you pics on Instagram: tag me: @nan_nicole_1997

Xoxo,

Nan

Word Wednesday!

Now I know this is not a Christian quote but I think it should apply to our lives.

Christmas isn't electronics, ugly sweaters, stocking stuffers you won't even use, or even a Christmas tree.

It doesn't come from Macys,Sears, or Bestbuy.

It comes from a manger, a little city, and a stable. It comes from a Father who sent his son to us.

Have a lovely Chrostmas and I'll talk to you soon!

Xoxo,

Nan

Oops I missed word Wednesday;(

Sorry gals I forgot my word Wednesday;(

This week has been busy, busy, busy!

We had our church Christmas party and we felt the need to bake 7 billion things, Friday I had mouth surgery for an implant( I'll post the story and all that gruesome stuff soon)

Our main computer is also at the repair shop, so we only have 1 laptop in our family and we plug it up to our tv and watch stuff through it so it isn't always available.

Whew! So much stuff!

Anyhoo here is my quote for y'all today;)

Amen!

Unless you have recieved Jesus into your heart, you can't understand Christmas.

If you don't already know Jesus personally then why not do it now.

Jesus is Gods son and He loves you no matter how poor you are, or what you've done you are still a creation of God.

But... You're only a child of God when you receive Him into your heart.

To receive Gods precious gift of Salvation you must understand some things:

#1. You must realize that you are a sinner:

 Romans 3:10 (KJV)

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23 (KJV)

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

#2 , you must know that because of sin there must be a price paid:

Romans 6:23 (KJV)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

#3. This price can be paid by you with an eternity in Hell, or you can accept the price that Jesus paid for your sin:

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

 

#4. To accept Jesus’ payment for your sin simply call on His name and ask Him to forgive your sins and save you:

Romans 10:9-13 (KJV)

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. [11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. [12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

#5. If you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, take time right now to pray, confessing your sin and asking Him to come into your heart and save you.

 

When you accept Jesus, He is faithful to do what He said He would - He forgives you and saves you. 

1 John 5:13 (KJV)

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

(Disclaimer: I could write the plan of Salvation out by myself but I used my iphone for this post and I had a previous engagement so I took this plan off of http://emeusbaptistchurch.com/html/romans_road_to_salvation.html )

Christmas is not about the gift you receive now or will next year, but about the 2 gifts you recieved so long ago.

The gift of Jesus.

And the Gift of Salvation.

Have a wonderful day and I'll try to post another quote this Wednesday.

Word Wednesday!

Hey ya'll!
Welcome to the first ever Word Wednesday.
Every Wednesday I will give you a new quote from one of the many Christian heroes.
Until Christmas Word Wednesday will be Christmas.:)

So here is today's quote, It is from the mouth of Charles Spurgeon.
 

This quote touched me.
The words are deep yet easy enough to understand.
Christ was the Almighty one!
He was the King of Kings!
Yet, He lived like a ordinary person.
