...“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2:10-11

I love these scriptures. Not only does it announce the birth of our Lord, but it tells us to NOT BE AFRAID and promises us GREAT JOY.

As single moms, I know many of you are facing these fears head on, especially this time of the year. There is a need for jobs, new homes, good health, better behaved children, better behaved ex's, and even the wish for someone to love again. One of my favorite scriptures with regards to conquering fear is: For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified Bible). I really love the Amplified version with the word 'well-balanced.' I personally believe it is key to pulling this whole thing called 'life' together. When we can find balance, then we can find that joy Jesus promises us.

So for this Christmas, I wish all m' LG girls lots of BALANCE, thus JOY. This year has brought about many changes for all of you and I have once again been privileged to be a part of your lives. The new year will bring about more changes...and for the better - - BELIEVE IT!

Speaking of BALANCE, what a great topic to kick the year off with huh? Join us for our first kick off meeting of 2011 on Friday, January, 14th - same bat time, same bat place.

Until then m' sweets - - here's wishing you a VERY blessed Christmas and Hopeful New Year for you and yours. Good things are a comin'! If we haven't connected recently for some one-to-one chat, give me a buzz for some java talk, hike, kids playtime, whatever. And MOST IMPORTANTLY - if you DO NOT HAVE PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS - I need to hear from you - there is no need to spend Christmas alone when you have so many LG sisters that love ya!

Be blessed, be a blessing.
Love much and much love,
dee.
