I just read of a Walmart shopper being trampled to death by an early morning Black Friday shopping crowd. I don't have the words to adequately describe the furor this invokes in me. This is so far from what Christmas is supposed to be, and I feel like our God must shake His head in sadness at what this holiday has become. I'll admit, I'm not much of a shopper. Money is usually a major issue. But no amount of savings is worth the life of anyone! I've heard tales from my sister-in-law of people grabbing items and fist fights, verbal fights, shoving, pushing and hassling over items in the name of Christmas. I tell you what, if that's Christmas, I want NO part of it. I refuse to be sucked in by what this world tells us we have to do. Do I buy gifts for my family; yes I do. Do I go into debt so I have to spend the next year paying it off because my child has to go back to school and look cool to the other kids? Absolutely not! Christmas is about remembrance. Remembering the special and awesome miracle of a baby that was born just to save this world. Christmas is about love, family, and tradition. What would it feel like to give a gift to your child but knowing you killed a man in the process? God, what does it feel like to give a gift to your people and they just trample your Son all over again by their actions? Am I telling you not to buy gifts for your family? No. I'm asking people to put CHRIST into CHRISTmas. Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

Counting my blessings
I am thankful for...
A God to give thanks to!
A God who is merciful and loving even when I don't deserve it.
A husband who is my best friend and soul mate.
Missy, who battled paralysis this year, and WON; and God who helped us through it.
Amanda, who conquered her worst fears, battled a major surgery and WON; and God who helped us through it.
Kayla, who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out and inspires me with her depth and love.
My wonderful family who I couldn't make it without.
My wonderful church family who I couldn't make it without.
My friends who I couldn't make it without.
Haven.
This year's many adversities, because I have a God that is above all adversity!
Change, because change brought about new things that I would not have experienced had I not followed through.
Endings, because it made me realize how far I had come.
Beginnings, because it makes me realize I still have something to give.
The here and now, because it shows me how God works in our day to day life and how nothing is too small or too big for Him.
It's been a stormy year, but I'd rather have a stormy year with God; than one great day without Him. I praise YOU, my Savior, my Forever Best Friend, my King and my Lord. Thanks doesn't seem enough....I bow down in humility and thanks for all you blessed my family with this year!
Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 1 Chron. 16:8
I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise you. Psalm 35:18

Ornament of Faith
I spoke at our Ladies Extravaganza Friday night, and just thought I would share what God laid on my heart about building Ornaments of Faith...To get the full effect, read the Christmas story in Luke 1 & 2.
We all love Christmas. The ribbons and bows. The tree. The songs. The lights. The ornaments. So many different ornaments. Many uniquely made and adorned beautifully. As I was driving one day, this thought came to me about an ornament of faith. As God impressed it on my heart, it was as if He were saying “Faith is an ornament we should decorate ourselves with.” We are the tree. Faith is one of the ornaments that lets our light shine. But what is faith? How do we get it? What makes it stronger? Where does faith come from? I’ve come to think that faith mostly comes from miracles, trials, and tribulations. It has to build upon something. Our faith doesn’t grow much during the good times. Faith comes from adversity. What is Faith? Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.” In Hebrew the word is AMAN means to trust or believe, In Greek the word means persuasion.. I find that interesting…….faith is to be persuaded! Through adversity we are persuaded to believe more strongly.
We know Mary was a young lady of faith. She had faith in God and had found great favor with him. Can you imagine? Being such a young woman, that God looked down and said Her! She is the ONE! She is going to be the mother of the Messiah!!! What kind of faith would that look like? How had she so adorned herself with ornaments of Faith in God, that He chose her and she was Highly favored? I love the definitions of these words….. Ornament is livyâh something attached..... Something attached….
Adorn means to decorate. So Mary attached faith to herself. She adorned, decorated herself with faith so strongly that God said she was highly favored. I don’t know about you, but I want God to be able to say I have favor in his eyes!( From G5485; to grace, that is, indue with special honor: - make accepted, be highly favoured.)
To be so young and already adorned with that kind of faith……..but then she was about to take the biggest faith journey of her life. She had to tell Joseph she was pregnant. She had to tell her parents. Joseph wanted to divorce her. She was about 14. The age of my youngest daughter. Some of your daughters. Then she had to most likely endure ridicule. Ride a donkey 9 months pregnant to another town!!! No hospital, but only a stable to have a baby. How scared she must have been….However she fully trusted God. She said ,”I am the Lord’s servant. May it be as you have said.” I wonder how many times she had to keep reminding herself? "I am the Lord’s servant. I am the Lord’s servant. I AM the Lord’s servant." How many faith ornaments did she get just from the life of Christ? How many times did she have to attach herself to faith just to make it through? When he disappeared and went missing? When he was out preaching? When He was led away to be crucified? When they spat on Him? Beat him. Cursed him. Crucified him. Buried him. And how her faith must have soared when he rose from that grave that beautiful morning!!!
Things don’t always work out the way we want them to, or the way we think they will. Sometimes we don’t even see it coming. We get hit with some form of pain out of nowhere leaving us feeling desperate and helpless. That’s the way life is. Maybe it’s when we’re in these situations, where everything seems to be falling apart, that God gets an opportunity to remind us of how much he really loves us. He carries us and holds us close and its then that our faith grows.
I believe through the life of Christ, God carried Mary. He held her close. She didn’t quite know where they were going, but she knew she could trust her God. What are your faith ornaments? What miracles, tribulations and tragedies have happened that now hang on you in adornment of faith?
Do you ever ponder them in your heart and say, God strengthened me then? Can you look back at times where even though you may not have been sure, you know now that he carried you? I’ve had so many faith ornaments in my life. I know God has carried me through many many times I didn't think I could make it. Isaiah 61:10
"I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." Look back on your life and I think you will see where Christ has adorned you with fine jewels of faith. And guess what? They are meant to shine and be shared!!

Thanks-Living
As I prepared for my class tonight, I wanted to really focus on Thanksgiving and thankfulness. And as I was studying, I was really convicted that we need to do Thanks-living, not just Thanksgiving. God calls us not only to a day of thanksgiving, He calls us to a life of thanks-living! The difference between thanksgiving and thanks-living is between giving thanks on one day and living thanks always. Thanksgiving is a one day event. Thanks living is a way of life.How do we “LIVE” Thanks? We begin to "live thanks” when we learn to have an attitude of gratitude, recognizing that all that we have and all that we are belong to Him alone. We have been blessed to be a blessing. Our continual thankfulness for our blessings will turn into a lifetime of living thanks, of living the blessings and sharing the blessings because we know in the deepest parts of our hearts that God is the giver of it all. Praise is also a huge part of Thanks-living. God deserves our praise and it is hard to be grumpy, angry, sad, mad, depressed or discouraged when we are praising God instead of having a pity party. Praise is simply adoring God. You can praise God by saying, "God, you are _________."
Thankfulness is counting our blessings and being grateful for them.
Phil. 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I Thes. 5:16-18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Col. 2:6-7 "As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving."
Often we find it the hardest to praise God and thank Him in the storms of life. But look at the Apostle Paul. He praised God and thanked Him when in prison, in affliction, shipwrecked, and beaten. He said he had learned to be content in all situations. Contentment is a choice. We can CHOOSE to praise and thank God. He is worthy. He deserves it.
A Thanksgiving Prayer “ Oh God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; when I have work, help me remember the jobless; when I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless; When I am without pain, help me remember those who suffer; And remembering, help me destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion. Make me concerned enough to help, by word and deed those who cry out for what we take for granted.” Samuel F. Pugh
Try reading these out loud to God...I read them out loud tonight and wept for He is my everything! Praise you Lord!

Birthdays
I'm so glad God created birthdays. I mean without them, you wouldn't have been born!! So you should be thankful too. I just don't understand why people get depressed about their birthdays. What's to get depressed about? Your one day of the year that it's all about you, and nobody minds. Some get mad cause their older........well, yeah you are older, but guess what the alternative is?? Not that the alternative would be so bad if you're going to heaven, but you know what I mean?? I say, embrace birthdays! God invented them...people even had parties in the Bible....so those of you who don't like birthdays, well I just say "fooey on you, you don't know what your missing." And by the way, when I die, I want a "Birthday Party" Funeral. I am not even kidding here. Just so all my friends and family know, when I die, throw a stinking HUGE Birthday party. Bring lots of presents for Kids. I don't want any flowers except one bouquet of Yellow Roses. In lieu of flowers, I want birthday presents. Then I want you to take them to a children's home or Boys Ranch or somewhere where kids can enjoy them, then go eat cake. After all, when I die, it will be my Birthday into heaven. And that, will be ONE HECK of a glorious birthday! So thank you all for making my day special today. And just remember.....only 365 more days!!!
Psalm 145:6-7 6 They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

Call and He will answer.
I was cleaning out my garage on Saturday and my aunt and uncle came over to get a few things. Now my uncle and I just have this bond. It's kind of unspoken, but it's there. I have been praying for him to have a personal relationship with Christ for years. So have many others in our family. Well, this past year, He came to Christ and has fully surrendered to make Him Lord of his life and it's so awesome! Anyway, Doug told me he had to tell me something. And it was just for me. A message He felt God wanted me to know. The message was, "You have fought the good fight, you have finished this race, now turn it over to me and leave it in my hands." When I heard those words, I just started crying. You see, he didn't know the significance, but I immediately did.
First of all, I had been praying for weeks, seeking God and hoping I had made the right decisions. Secondly, for it to come from my uncle made it even more special. To see God speaking to him and his humbleness about hearing from him was a touching moment. Thirdly, if you go to my blog on Oct. 28-"How to-in ministry"--you will see what I wrote on the last few lines and how personal God is to all of us! I wrote: "I don't know about you, but it is very important to me to faithfully discharge all the duties of the ministry Christ has given me. I want to be able to say, like Paul, I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. But will I be able to?" WOW. God read my blog. He knows my heart and He knew how important this was to me. So He gave the answer to my very special uncle, wrapped it up with love, and sent it to me in a very personal way.
I weep with joy because I want to faithfully discharge all the duties God gives me, and it's like He told me for this past season, I have and it's going to be ok. Turn it over to Him and let Him handle it.(I like to help God, and He's saying "I got this one Nat, let go!" And lastly, I truly believe I can now move on to the next call God has on my life, whatever that may be. It's so hard to let go when I've put so much heart and passion into this past season of ministry. But I am greatly looking forward to what God is going to do next. And I'm ready to start a new race. I've known all along that God hears me but for Him to take the time, in this mass universe of people, to send me a love note in this way, truly brings me to my face in awe and thanks. Thank you God.
Jer. 33:3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know'
Isa. 65:24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
Isa. 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

Change is not a bad word.
Most people see change as a bad thing. I guess it can be. But change can also bring about a new opportunity. Most of you know by now that I have resigned my staff position at the church. However, I have certainly not resigned my calling. I know without a doubt that I am called to serve Him wholeheartedly and minister to women and families. Right now, that continues to be at GOW with the people I love. The Haven class has been an absolute affirmation of the changes He started in my home life earlier this year. With Missy's paralysis, Amanda's cancer scare, me going out of Children's ministry, and LB's layoff possibilities and health issues, it has certainly been a year of change and molding for our family. One thing I know for certain though, God doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.(Hebrews 13:8) He does, however, change US to make us hopefully more like HIM. Try this: Cross your arms across your chest like you would, for instance, if you were cold. OK, now switch your arms around with the opposite arm on top. See, you can do it! It feels uncomfortable, but you can do it! That's how I have felt. Uncomfortable. Out of my comfort zone with all these changes. But I know with God's help, I can do it. It's been a rough few weeks, and a very difficult year. I prayed yesterday morning and I asked God specifically to give me a verse to get through the day. Something to strengthen me. Well the verse He gave me, wasn't just a verse, it's also a song. More than likely one of the several Psalms our Jesus sang on the way to Calvary. The verse was so clear. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. I can promise you as tough as it is, every time I get a little sad with change...I can sing the song....This is the day, this is the day. That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. I will rejoice, I will rejoice. And be glad in it, and be glad in it. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day, this is the day....THAT THE LORD HAS MADE!
I want to thank everyone at GOW for allowing me to serve for the last 4 1/2 years. I pray you will pick up your cross, and make it a cross on the move......forming that sideways cross that makes you an X-treme Christ Follower. I believe our time is short, and we must be about His business. Take back your families. Pick up your cross. Follow Him.
