{endings are beginnings in disguise}

Well my friends, we've said goodbye to 2011..but we've welcomed 2012!

God blessed me beyond measure last year and I am so very thankful. I started my photography business - Aysha Nicole Photography, my niece was born, I found out I'm having a nephew, I'm closer than ever to finishing my Creative Writing degree, and so much more.

How did you bring in the new year?

This year, as with previous years, I stayed home and spend it with my grandparents. Nothing fancy, but definitely my kind of night.

Yesterday morning, on January 1st, I went to church. It was the first time that I've been there in a year and a half because of being away at school, and it felt like walking back into my home. I loved seeing all of the familiar faces! I also had the chance to bring my 11 year old sister, Hannah, with me :)

After church, I brought Hannah back to my house and we cooked lunch together - Chicken Parm :)

Here are a few pictures I snapped as we cooked!

 

I'd love to hear what you did :)

He is Greater

This morning at church, I was amazed. I haven't gone for the past 2 weeks, so I was behind, but we are working on a series where we are finding the statements in Hebrews that says that Jesus is greater than...

So basically what it is, is saying that Jesus is greater than anything that you put after His name.

He is greater than the angels.

He is greater than the prophets.

He is greater than any High Priest.

He is greater than anything.

But what I was amazed about was the fact that today, we were talking about Him being greater than any High Priest; and His compassion. Last night when I wrote the 'Compassion' poem, I had no idea what we were going to be talking about in church, and a line that I used in the poem was a direct statement from the Bible.

Weird, huh? It's little things like that when I feel like God is speaking to me, through things.

[If you want to know what I'm talking about, look on the blog for my poem called 'Compassion' and then read Hebrews 4 (near the end, talking about Christ's compassion)]

If I hadn't gone to church, I would have missed that.

I'm glad that I didn't.

Blessings,

A.
