I Place My Trust

Today’s Monday Motivation song is from Natalie Grant’s cover of ‘In Christ Alone.’ Natalie decided to add this song to her new album, ‘Seasons.’

In Christ alone, I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the cross!

The one who holds the stars!

Monday Motivation today? Well, this one’s easy as we witness a solar eclipse. Watch this one from Skillet and know that YOU ARE LOVED today!

If You can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars

The deepest depths, the darkest nights
Can’t separate, can’t keep me from Your sight
I get so lost, forget my way
But still You love and You don’t forget my name

Believe For it!

Today we featured CeCe Winans and her amazing, ‘Believe for It,’ as our Monday Motivation song.

Matthew 19 is a Q&A with Jesus and the disciples, where we are reminded that with God, nothing is beyond his domain!

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

From the impossible
We’ll see a miracle
God, we believe for it!

Enjoy these videos from CeCe!

Name something you might find in the kitchen cabinet.

The grace when I hit the bottom

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Colton Dixon and his song, My Light.

Psalm 119 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

I’ve tried on my own strength, but I just trip and fall
Put my faith in the wrong things, turns out after all
You’re the answer for every problem
You’re the grace when I hit the bottom
The lamp unto my feet, oh Lord, let it shine

Here’s Colton’s lyric video:

Name a fruit you might eat for breakfast.

Banana (18)

You’ve Already Won!

Monday Motivation today comes from Shane and Shane and their song, “You’ve Already Won.”

Jesus is ultimately victorious, not just over death, but the future – he will bring us into his eternal kingdom and judge the wicked. Because of this, we have an internal peace. Though we may have present struggles, we know that God loves us and he has saved us! Let’s continue the good fight – understanding that connection and obedience with God are imperatives.

Name a place where you are told to use your inside voice.

Blessed to be a Blessing III

This is our third week of sharing ideas of how you can bless others during this Christmas season. This was inspired by a list shared with our church family a few weeks back.

  1. Leave a basket of muffins/cookies on someone’s doorstep. This can be someone in your neighborhood or someone at work!
  2. Buy someone a coffee or their favorite drink and drop it off to them at work.
  3. Say thank you to your cashier – give them a smile, especially when they are doing an amazing job handling numerous requests. On Saturday, I did this with a cashier who was simultaneously running two lines!
  4. Stay calm, have patience, and be positive when a frustrating situation arises.
  5. Call your parents or a current/former mentor or teacher, and let them know how much you appreciate them.

Name a gift that kids DON’T want to open on Christmas morning.

  1. Underwear (31 votes)
  2. Socks (27)
  3. Hygiene Products (12)
  4. Books (8)
  5. Sweater/scarf (6)
