It’s World Wildlife Day!

Mar3

So who doesn’t love wildlife? . . . all those plants and animals that exist without humans and live in the wild. From bamboo and banyan trees to redwoods and all. And all the animals so unique… from the giraffe’s long neck and the trunk of an elephant to the spots on a leopard and the chunky rhinoceros, too. It’s amazing how many, and some so funny, too!

So what’s this day all about? Well, it’s about raising awareness of all the wild animals and plants in the world and our need to protect them and live peacefully with them, too. How cool there are so many. Could God be any more creative when He thought them all up?

And which do you love most? How about taking a moment and thinking on your faves and how they add to our world, and while you’re doing that, a happy World Wildlife Day to you, too!

Yay for Snow!

Jan10

Hey, tween girls! So January’s usually the month for snow . . . LOTS, that is! It’s the snowiest month for most major cities that usually get snow. Even though we’ve hardly gotten much here, it’s finally been coming down. How about for you?

Snowflakes are amazing . . . as light as a feather, but can stop traffic, too! I love how sparkly and intricate and glistening they are, and that no two are alike!

I loved growing up in Minnesota with all the snow and snow days from school! After a blizzard, there’d be a huge drift in front of our living room window where the snow would pile high. I also loved those gentle snowfalls, not even minding it being 20 below, too!

Whether it’s making snow angels, snow forts, or snowmen, or skiing and sledding, or just watching a snowfall, how about taking a second to stop and reflect on God’s wondrous creation! And for those who love winter, yay!!! Enjoy the snow! And if not much has yet fallen this month, I hope it does soon!

Listen to Your Heart

Sep29

I couldn’t believe it when I first heard that it’s God who puts dreams in our hearts. Now how cool is that?! And in thinking about it, it made total sense that our creator, the creator of the entire universe, could do just that!shutterstock_126882287

“Delight thyself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart” – Psalm 37:4. I love that verse! What could be more exciting than knowing that God knows what I desire and will bring those dreams about. All I have to do is listen to Him and trust Him, and He’ll show me the way.

So what dreams has God put in your heart? Do you long to dance, sing, or write? To care for animals or nature or others in need? What are your passions? Desires? Those things you love to do? And if you’re not yet quite sure, just listen to your heart, and God will tell you. Then listen for His next step, and you’ll be at the start of the awesome adventure He has for you!
