2010

A new year, a new season in life. Psa. 113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.

It's time to get into the Word & get your self re-anchored in God's promises constantly in your heart. It is time to pray the prayer of faith & take your stand on the basis of His provision.

Praise God. Praise Him in the morning, praise Him at noon. Praise Him at night. (Scripture Reading Psa. 50)

You don't have to be afraid of satin. He'll be afraid of you.

CHRISTmas 09'

CHRISTmas...our family doesn't do santa, the easter bunny, tooth fairy or any other finctional made up characters for any Holliday, insted we have chosen to keep the Christmas Story ALIVE. Our opinion on the matter is that Jesus is the reason for the season and we want to instill the Lord in our kids, they know we love them and have no intention of taking the fun out of everything so we do fun things like have Jesus a Birthday party and celebtate God's gift to us...with out Jesus the greatest gift ever, our future would be aweful. SO we made the personal decision to not lie to our kids, after all the Bible says not to lie and the result of lieing isn't one I care to collect in the end and if we are lieing to our own flesh and blood about the little warm fuzzy santa, easter bunny and so on then what are they to think when they eventually find out they aren't real....and we aren't suppose to lie. Oh and not to mention what about when they ask well if santa or the others aren't real and I can see them, then where is this God or Jesus you are telling me about, is he real....They have never even seen Him! Yes I know alot to think about hugh....I just want to make sure my children trust me and what I tell them about my Lord and Savior. Thier is enough deception going on in the world, I don't want to be a part of it. Hope your CHRISTmas is blessed!

Just a little something to think about, right.......above are images of the kids fav. gifts!

It's all about God....

O.k. so thier has been some changes in the Gibson home. God is so good and knows just what to do and when, we've just got to be ready and willing to be obedient and know when He is speaking to us. Change is hard especilly when it hits home, decisions aren't always easy and we don't always do something as soon as we are told, but thanks be to God...the good Lord doesn't give up on us. All I know to do anymore is trust in God and do what he wants, afterall he isn't out to harm us; some things are just tough to make yourself do & others don't always understand, but all that matters is God. As long as I do what He wants, I know with out a doubt I am pleasing Him & all will be well. I don't have time to be concerned with what people think about what I do, all I can do is trust and follow my Father....He will guide me in all I do & He will do the same for you; just listen for His voice & follow Him, his name is God the Father, SON-Jesus & The Holy Spirit.....the great I AM! He will be all you ever need!

A gift straight from God....meet Hayden Cantrell, he is the newest member of our family. He is such a sweet heart, from the first moment I met him he stole my heart. Children are so precous and the most wonderful blessings that God could have possibly given us while here on earth. Psa. 127:3 Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

My Babies

I am so blessed to have such beautiful, smart, healthy babies. Aly is 8 and attends NGCA(making straight A's so far this year,as you can see in the above image). Eli is 4 and is doing homeschooling and loves being outdoors doing anything w/ his dad(going hunting w/ dad in the image above). They are both making us so proud. Our goal is to raise them to the best of our ability for the Lord, so that they will know Him and seek Him in all they do. My children are such precous gifts from God & I want them to know that He will provide and take care of us always. I want my children to understand that God gave us the greatest gift ever and if we follow Him, we will be blessed beyond measure. God is so good!

Faith

Have you ever just been able to sense something you can't see or hear or feel or touch is comming your way. I am there. I can sense God moving and working all around me. I sense Him all around me in everything. I know the Bible says "He will never leave or forsake me" and I believe the whole Word of God. I don't believe in taking bits and pieces and making it say what you want, to fit what you believe. The Word of God is what it is & it is not meant to be altered in any way shape, form or fashion. I believe the Word of God; the whole Bible from front to back, after all His word says "I am the Alpha & Opega, the Begining & the End". I believe we are to as the Bible says, "to live by every word the proceeds from the mouth of God". We are called to be unique & set apart. To be a light to those around us. Like it or not each of us are being watched by someone, be it your family members or friends even perfect strangers. Our decisions to follow God, straddle the fence or just be ignorant effects more than ourselves. We are called to take up our cross daily and follow Him. That means sacraficing ourlives, actions, speech, thoughts, attitudes and so on; facing our fears and believing Him and what He tells us in His Word and keeping the Faith constantly no matter what things look like. He wants us to keep our eyes on Him always. God desires an imtimate relationship with each of His children, just like we have with our families at home. What we expect of our children he expects of us. We need to get to know Him, all this takes is us picking up our Bible and seeking Him, He speaks to us through His Word and prayer. God's desire is for us to get to know Him and do what His Word says, so He can open up the heavens for us. His love is overflowing, beyond anything we could possibly comprehend. Each day He gives us here to straighten up and make the decision to live for Him and no one else is a beautiful picture of His great love & mercy for His children. I am so blessed & thankful for all God has done for me and everyone around me & I am also thankful for what is yet to come.....I know God is working all around me, I can not see exactly what is going on, but I know that God is working on my behalf in all situations, He has already won the battle; VICTORY is ours in Jesus name. He is all around us, everywhere....I can feel Him!

Floaters

I went to the eye Dr. today, along with my grandmother and our little man, Eli. I have been seeing a small transparent grey spot every now and then, except recently it has been more frequent. So we decided to get an exam. To all that don't know me I am what they call a worry wart. I know to cast my cares upon the Lord, but that doesn't keep the devil from attacking your mind now does it....every aweful disease or possible negative outcome surfaced in my mind. But that doesn't matter because I know who my provider is and I know that my God will take care of my every need, no matter what! Come to find out I have what is called a floater...I know sounds corney. These little guys can be caused by eye injuries, certin diseases & of coarse old age or sometimes during fetal development( then they are caused by small flakes of protien or other matter getting trapped in the vitreous as the eye is developing. They remain in the vitreous after birth, resulting in floaters in your line of sight.) Floaters are usually harmless and rarely limit vision.

Needless to say today I am learning to be very thankful for the little things in life along with the large-the food in my freezer; even though I don't have an ice maker, the water in my well, the roof over my head, my vehicle,my beating heart, my health and my families health, our jobs, being able to walk, see, hear, taste and smell; everything good and bad I have to be thankful for I am, because the great I AM is all I need and will supply all my needs according to his riches and glory. I AM thankful for God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit....God's greatest gifts to us. I am just feeling very blessed and thankful today. Each day is a gift and we tend to take advantage of each one. God is love and each additional day he does't return is proof of his mercy for us all. Thank God for floaters....

Oh and Eli had to get him some little glasses today, he is such a doll. I will have to post a picture soon. I am grateful for the great I AM! God Bless!

Every body needs a little PATIENCE.

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might recieve the promise. " Hebrews 10:35,36

I always thought patience was just something that enabled you to endure things gracefully. It is the ability to be consistantly constant, it is the power twin of faith. No matter what the trial we must make the decision to stay constant and only believe what the word of God says & not let our trials determine our daily faith.

" You see, faith opens the door to God's promise for you; and patience keeps it open until that promise is fulfilled." Kenneth Copeland This was a part of my Bible lesson today just thought I would share....Scripture Reading: Hebrews 6:10-15

Sweet Babies

Our House is 4-Sale

God has said it's time to move on and do what he wills. We are in a great place, but God has plans for us, not sure of what they are yet, but all I know to do is trust Him and he will direct our paths. Our 3 bed, 2 bath 18oo sq. foot home with 2 barns and a pasture with 2.28 acres has got to go to the next person God has for it. If you are looking for a mini farm in Ellijay please prayerfully consider our home. It is older and has been remolded and has plenty of room for your pets and family. You can speak with our realitor Judy Hardy and view more images online at http://lovethosemountainsrealtiy.com/
