Have you seen the movie Gifted Hands?
I know it's not a new one but I just saw it and I liked it. I love true stories and there was one
thing by which I was very touched...
In the story the protagonist,Ben had problems as a kid but his mother convinced him he could make something of his life. Every time when Ben got a a bad grade and he said that he is stupid his 
mother would say NO,you are not stupid.You can reach the very results like everyone else, or actually you can do even better.And so happened...
And I was very touched by this fact...I truly know that our words are important but
have you thought how great impact your words can be in your childrens' lives?

Everyone needs encouragement. 
Encouragement's impact can be  profound -
as the story of this movie tells us.

ENCOURAGEMENT CHANGES LIVES!
So if you are a parent you have the responsibility to encourage your children!

I want to be an encouraging parent.What about you?
"PEOPLE GO FARTHER THAN THEY THOUGHT
THEY COULD 
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE THINKS THEY CAN."
John C. Maxwell

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart.
Psalm 31:24

If you want to receive Christ in your life just simply pray and ask forgiveness:
Jesus, I believe You died for me and rose from the death,so now I want to live for You.
Forgive all my sins.I acknowledge You as my Savior and Lord and I am asking you
to guide my life from now on.
Amen.

Everyday is a great gift from God;
He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles.
Job 5:9

So shouldn't we be thankful?! I think there are so many things in our lives that we don't even count as a gift or a blessing.
The Bible teaches us to give thanks,to be thankful...
I started the New Year with a new journal and I want to write down every day 3 things for which I am thankful to God.
Actually I got inspired of making this kind of list each day, by Ann Voskamp. Have you heard about her?She wrote a beautiful book named One Thousand Gifts. 

 

Her idea is to just count any 3 gifts a day — to count 1000 gifts in a year!
So I want to share also with you every week 3 things for which I am thankful to God (normally it will be on Mondays...this week I'm a bit late...).
And I inspire also you;start to make your own gift list;
BE THANKFUL!

Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness.
      Let the whole world know what he has done. 
1 Chronicles 16:8

So this week I am thankful for:
1.
 
-my new books&journals.
I love to read about God's promises-
I want to receive them all in my life!

2.
 -my new tea which my Mom sent me
Thank you Mom, love you!

3.
 
-seasons.
Yesterday it snowed and I love the snow on trees,it looks so beautiful...

You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought. 
Matthew 5:5 The Message

It is always wise to stop wishing for being someone else.The Bible teaches us that "love your neighbor as yourself".
It's tough to enjoy life when you don't like yourself.So once again stop...
YOU ARE GOD'S MASTERPIECE;you are wonderfully made!
BE CONTENT WITH JUST WHO YOU ARE!

Hi! How are you?Have you started the new year well?Did you make any new year's promises?
I just came back home from a vacation and I still have to think about this new year and promises...but I am sure that this year I want to focus on God's promises...
I WANT TO REJOICE DAILY!
I WILL BREATHE IN GOD'S PEACE!
I WILL TRUST THAT MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME!
I WILL LET GOD'S PROMISES SHINE ON MY PROBLEMS!
AND I WILL BE FILLED WITH GOD'S LOVE AND BLESSINGS!

Lift up your eyes to Jesus!
There is an option you may not see...

Be blessed!
