The Cold Weather is Here!

The actual temperature this morning is -26 degrees F. Yep, that's right -26! The good new however, is that it feels like exactly -26 degrees, with no wind chill. (It is always best to look on the bright side of things....) Well, I don't think that we will be going anywhere today. Caleb says that it is "not that bad," but I think I will sit this day of running around town out. :) I am very thankful for our warm, cozy house and for electricity.

My Testimony

Growing up in a Christian family is such a blessing. I don't recall a day in my life when I did not know about Christ's amazing work on the cross. When I was little I learned a lot about the bible and about God's plan of redemptive history and salvation. As I grew up, the Lord used my parents and His Word to train and guide me. They taught me that it was MY sin that Christ died for, and that MY sin was fully paid for through His sacrifice. He rose from the dead and so will all those who trust only in Him. It was at a very young age that I acknowledged my sinfulness and my need for a Savior. I understood then, that I could do nothing on my own to earn God's favor. It was only through the sacrifice of Christ, as my substitute that I could stand before a righteous judge. When I confessed this total dependency on Christ and repented for the sins that I had committed, Christ became Lord of my life. Since then I have learned and am learning so much about who God is, and what He requires of us as His Children. I am joyful as I think about Christ's return, when He will take me home to live with Him. In His glory, I will praise Him as my Lord, Savior and King forever!
