All You Have to Do is Remain

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ For some reason today, this scripture hit me like a ton of bricks! Like the kind of heart check that makes your stomach drop. In this moment the Lord was reminding me to stop and listen. Most of the evangelical Christian world just finished the 21 day Daniel Fast. (If you aren’t familiar with this, it is based off of the Book of Daniel in the Bible. It specifically focuses on what Daniel and the others with him did while in captivity. According to Daniel 1:12-16 ““Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said. “At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.” The attendant agreed to Daniel’s suggestion and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days, D...

"Whatever it Takes!" “Christmas, Christmas time is here! Time for toys and time for cheers!” If you sang that instead of read it, your probably sang it in your best Alvin and the Chipmunks’ voice. But nevertheless, it is the most wonderful time of the ………. ok ok I’ll stop with the “traditional” Christmas song references. But yes!!! This is my Holiday! I love all things Christmas!
