Finding Peace and Joy in the Every Day Chaos: The Gift of Christmas

365 Days a year, we have this Gift of CHRISTmas to open…to give and receive.

No matter what this past year was for you, we have every new Today to keep opening our Gift. When the Lord created us in our Mother's Womb, He knitted within us a specific design for power, impact, love, strength, ability and value. We were created to radiate His glory through our hearts, loving Him and loving others in a world Created by Love yet for the most part, betraying it every day.

We were created as Light Houses to shine in the darkness.

When the Son is before us,

shadows cast behind us.

We have the Holy Spirit, who helps us in our weaknesses and our doubts to strengthen us to show up in power and love in. world so desperate for it. I think we get so busy or down on ourselves www forget our missions, we forget our equipping to change atmosphere in Jesus Name. When ws the last time your heart smiled? your should felt truly rested? surrendered?

We have all we need to walk consistently and confidently in our missions here on earth. You don’t have to be perfect. God is perfect!! Jesus gave us His heart and we have the choice to give Him ours.

When He holds our heart, our world opens up in ways we cannot imagine. Everyday is a Gift.

So while we sit in the dreamy decor of Christmas lights and shiny gift wrapped presents, may our souls be kept in His Presence. When you feel the swift swoosh of Calm and Delight, it's not magic...it's Holy Ground shaking beneath your feet. It's the reminder of an Oh so Holy Night, Divine Appointments, a Prophecy and The Promise fulfilled.

Today, may you also find yourself at the Feet of Peace, adoring the Great I Am, The King of Glory who Is, Was and Is To Come. He is the Alpha and Omega, The One our Hearts Long for. Let the Silent Night be your daily hope. For unto us, Our Savior was gifted to us. Receive His heart in to yours and let's choose to Light up this world with the Hope we have.

Michele"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:14-21 ESV

A Little About My Heart

Born and raised in the church, a Christ Follower, Kingdom Encourager, Wife, Mama, and an Overcomer! GLORY TO GOD!!

I lived most of my life fearful, anxious, and insecure.. I found myself always hiding but serving, striving for perfection in my less-thanness, as a way to earn my worth to self, God and others, sacrificing in the name of serving, hospitality and humility...putting others needs before my own from a place of hiding in my lack, and trying to earn value rather than serving in the space of grace, confident faith and overflowing love.

Never attaining, only to lead a life of more insecurity, overwhelm, anxiety, and panic, screaming to break free from this bondage, to be that actual strong, courageous Christian Woman everyone else seemed to be, but me.

BUT GOD.

In 2009, Where Faith Is was born as a blog, learning my voice behind the safety of a keyboard, building courage to speak my truth behind the screen...and here all these years later, Little by little, God is expanding my heart boundaries as He reveals more of His to me. I am so excited to share so freely!

I especially love being an encourager to other encouragers in the faith who know they are called to encourage yet they themselves struggle with their value and ability. Isn't that how the enemy works? He tries to disqualify us in the same area we are called to shine! What an irony!

I believe if more people let go of fear and insecurity, surrendered to grace and BELIEVED their value, their spark for life will return to a roaring fire that lights up wet wood!

When women choose to walk courageous and strong in body, mind and spirit...they step out of the boat and walk on water as Peter did, part the waters like Moses and set more people FREE in His name through their Divine purpose to the Glory of GOD! We are each a Light House of Strength on the shorelines of Grace .

Friend, you may not believe it, but you are meant for more than eat/sleep/work/repeat. You are also equipped with good works to serve and bless the Kingdom Body, and the world with His Love, through YOU! You've got to surrender your fear and let Him lead you.

You are more able than you think you are and most likely, the thing you feel is the weakest part of you is the strongest thing about you!

If you are an introvert too and want to be a part of our newly launching online community, we are here for you!! Let's Connect! It's an honor to encourage the Encouragers.

I am H.I.S. (Heart In Surrender & Service).

Hugs & Blessings,

Michele

"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4
