Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

By Carmela
Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life.  😊  Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God.  I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not.  He is such a good God, and such a big God.  😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau

Here's another one I did to remind me that our God is a God of justice.

Self-Sacrifice

By Carmela
In June I had the beautiful and long-awaited privilege of participating in a camp for foster kids .  It was a marvelous, life-changing experience that blessed me and challenged me tremendously.  Each counselor has the privilege of being “Jesus with skin on” for only two campers (children); this enables us to give the children our undivided attention, something they often lack in their daily life.  My role as a counselor was to put myself on the back burner and give all of myself to these two precious girls for four full days.  At about the halfway point, I began to silently complain because I was tired of giving and giving—I just wanted a LITTLE BIT OF TIME to make it all about me.  Then it dawned on me how great God truly is—He is big enough and generous enough to derive pleasure from giving Himself fully to each human being on this planet every single day. As I pondered this astonishing reality, I began to have a new appreciation for His greatness.  There are billions of people
