Transfer

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Holidays to all! Jesus is the reason for the season, He's the reason why we sing!

The holiday season can be so stressful for many, sometimes for me too! All the shopping, cooking, gathering, can be tiring and draining. It can also be draining mentally and emotionally, as depression rates rise tremendously during the holiday season. As great as the holidays can be for some, it is NOT the "wonderful time of the year".

It is times like these when you realize whats really important. You realize that family is priceless. Yes, gifts are good, especially since diamonds are a girls best friend (and a pair of killer boots, but I digress). I take this time of the year as a season of renewal. This season is a reminder of just how far God has brought me. I take this opportunity to look back over the year; the blunders and the joys.

My mom told me something that has been chaning my daily walk with Christ. It was some of the best advice I've received in a long time! She told me that whenever I start to look to my past, or think negative thoughts, valid or not, simply say, TRANSFER. Transfer it to Jesus, and give it to Him, for He is the only one who understands. He is the only one who is there for me unconditionally, gracefully merciful, with an overabundance of peace that surpasses all understanding! Just with that simple word, it does so much. Immediately Jesus gives me strength. He lets me know, in the sweetest, gentlest way, that it is OK. He paid the price for everything already, and is more than ready to provide me with whatever it is I need.

So during this hectic holiday season, and as we walk into the year 2010, the year of ACTION, transfer all your worries, fears, doubts, insecurities on The Lord. He'll never fail you.

I am at a place of perfect contentment. I am thankful for what I have, and for what I dont have. Everything is in perfect order, God has me exactly where I need to be. Everyday He shows me how to walk, how to talk, how to be a woman of God. Everyday He teaches me, is patient with me as our relationship grows closer and closer.

I'm transfering...are you?
