Coffee For Your Heart: As You Begin...

You made it!

I'm so glad you could join me over a cup of coffee...for your heart.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you probably missed this post.

Go ahead. Have a read.

All clear now?

Good.

Here is what I've got.

My assignment today...

share with you something I want you to hear as you step foot into a new year.

I'm sure your ears are already ringing, and mind racing

with various resolutions, goals and mantras for 2014.

But if I could throw you a line by which to secure your footing 

amidst an avalanche of encouragement for the new year, it would be this.

Glory, praise, thankfulness, recognition...

to God who is able...capable, equipped...

through His mighty power...the same power that created the stars, the earth...you...

at work within us, moving us, directing us, always active...

to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think....

sum up the entirety of your year's goals, resolutions, and dreams...He can accomplish
infinitely, exceedingly, abundantly more than that.


So whatever you accomplish this year, glory to God.
When you think you don't have the strength...remember His power within you.
Whatever you ask or think...allow Him to work...and accomplish more than you dreamed.
Give Him charge of your agenda, let Him direct you this year,
trusting that what needs to happen...will. 




I love this quote, it ministers to my heart and echos the message in Ephesians.

Accept where you are.
Let go of all that did and didn't happen.
Have faith that God is working...that He is good.


No matter the greatness you have planned for 2014,
He has more in store for you than you think...surrender to living His dream for you
...be open to His infinite possibilities and glorious accomplishments.
He's got this year handled!

Coffee for Your Heart...New Wednesday Posts

Who doesn't love coffee?

That's a derogatory question,
if you are one the few people who doesn't, just don't answer that question.

Now imagine you could infuse your heart
with that same rich, glowing, warmth.

What if I told you it could be so?
I'll tell you how.

First, let me introduce you to Holley Gerth.
Before I even knew what blogging was,
I followed Holley and her daily/weekly inspiration devotions.
Speaker, author, co-founder of (in)courage , and partner with DaySpring,
Holley is all about breathing life into the hearts of women.
Through the years I have cemented some of her words in my heart,
and I treasure that encouragement.

Now,
she is giving fellow bloggers the chance to do the same through
her Coffee For Your Heart Challenge.

 Every Wednesday,
we bloggers will invest one post and thoughtful words
into encouraging and uplifting the hearts of our readers.

Don't worry,
I enjoy creating beautiful things, both in words and fabric,
so I have no intention of fazing out my refashion or sewing projects.
I'm just expanding. And there is always room for coffee, right?
After all, man lives not by 'thread' alone (see what I did there?) but by words also,
which is why I've chosen to expand what I post through being a part of
Coffee For Your Heart at least twice a month.
 

So,
coffee this Wednesday?
It's a date.
