Five Things I am Loving this Week

From our valley to yours...happy Saturday! Here are five things I am loving this week...

Snow-capped mountains.

I love any view with snow-capped mountains. Even the reflection here is beautiful! :)

The old hymns.

There is something about the old hymns that I love. The words are so rich. So deep. I have been wanting to incorporate something with the hymns in my devotions and this week I came across this website. It has a section called Hymn of the Week - For hymn study. It is perfect - it has the video to listen to - the stories behind the hymn - the words to the hymn.

Foundations 101.
Our Foundations 101 class that my husband teaches at our church. This is a sign of new folks interested in Sierra View and wanting to learn more about what we believe and why. Starts tomorrow!

Clearance candles and wax melts!
I got the wax melts for $.50 (original $2.00) and the candles for $4.00 (original $14.94).

Rain.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
