Well I am a few days late for wishing everyone a wonderful Merry Christmas! But I had the glorious privileged of taking a few days off work completely. V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N. Nope, we didn't even go anywhere, but I turned off the computer and enjoyed my family, some fellowship and some AWESOME food,......which I now have to try to work back off my rear!!! <br />
<br />
So as I am playing catch up, here are my last 5 devotionals for my Christmas Advent Devotional!!!<br />

To ponder. To think about carefully. To consider or deliberate.<br />But it doesn’t say she mentally pondered those things. Nope. She pondered them in her heart.<br />Stop there. For just a moment and truly consider that.<br />She removed the mental logic. She removed the gray matter. She went straight to the heart. To the ONE and ONLY place that could provide her the answers she was seeking.<br />Straight to the one place that was crying out for a Savior. She pondered those things in the one place that longed to be whole. Could Jesus, the baby that was just born, truly be the Son of God? Could He truly be her Savior? Could this tiny baby boy truly save mankind from their sins? <br /><br />Have you pondered in your heart? Those treasures that occurred over 2000 years ago? Do you feel that?<br />That longing to be whole? That longing for something more? That feeling that is rooted in the depth of your heart that cries out for Someone or Something to make everything make sense? Perhaps it’s that cry, that heart cry that you need to listen to. Because by pondering in your heart that treasured night 2000 years ago. You may just find all the answers that your heart desires.<br />Nicole Young | Urban Wings Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461739991596421340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187636663015565979.post-64251099975684561962012-12-20T21:35:00.004-06:002012-12-20T21:35:50.145-06:00Joy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are no words. <br />No words would ever be enough for those touched by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elemtary School. <br />So I PRAY that we lift them up with God’s promises. For only God alone is capable of being their comfort at this time.<br /><br />My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation;<br /> he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2<br />Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22<br /> Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9<br /> For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you; Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13<br />The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9 <br />..Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5 <br />The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18<br />The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble Psalm 37:39<br />Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. <br />Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. Psalm 23:4<br />And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; <br />there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. <br />There shall be no more pain, <br />for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4 <br /><br />Nicole Young | Urban Wings Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461739991596421340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187636663015565979.post-58877281891224261582012-12-17T14:29:00.002-06:002012-12-17T14:29:25.825-06:00Amazing.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For unto YOU. You sinners. You broken. You lonely. Among YOU flawed
and imperfect people. Perfection was born. The sinless, perfect Son of
God. Humbled and brimming with love came down from His throne. Came
down to live among people who despised and rejected him. Came down to
SAVE those lost, hurting, sinful people. Came down for me. Came down
for YOU. He is CHRIST. Christos. The anointed one. The Messiah. The
SAVIOR.<br />
Two thousand years ago He invited those lost broken people. He invited
them to accept HIM as their SAVIOR. He invited them into a forever
loving relationship.<br />
The invitation is still open. Have you accepted it? Because he came for YOU.<br />Nicole Young | Urban Wings Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461739991596421340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187636663015565979.post-52793429055983897892012-12-13T08:47:00.002-06:002012-12-13T08:47:27.688-06:00Hope.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people.<br />
<br />
Good News....oh, that blessed, perfect good news. That Good News that
assures me that I am lavishly, beautifully loved. That Good News that
reminds me that I have a hope and a future. That Good News that
penetrates the depths of my soul with a joy that does not come from this
world. A joy that doesn’t shift and sway. A joy that doesn’t come and
go. A constant abiding joy that is availble for me whenever and
wherever. <br />
A never-ending joy and peace. <br />
And it’s not just for me but for ALL THE PEOPLE. For the weak. For the
oppressed. For the broken. For the sinners. For the lost. For the
strangers. For the desperate. For the widows. For the children. For
the moms. For the fathers. For the poor. For the hopeless....<br />
He came to give you HOPE.<br />
<br />
He came to make you WHOLE.<br />
<br />
He came to give you LOVE. <br />
<br />
He came for YOU.<br />
<br />
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.<br />

Wonderful. Counselor. Mighty God. Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace. <br />Prince of Peace. <br />Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Romans 5:1<br />Peace. Shalowm. Eirene.<br />In Hebrew scripture the word Shalowm was used to denote wholeness. To be complete. When someone had peace with God they were in a whole relationship. They were made complete. They were in a right relationship with no war or strife. When we jump over to the New Testament and find the word peace. The Greek word used was Eirene. Completeness. Soundness. <br />Peace didn’t necessarily mean a happy feeling. You can be happy no matter who you are given the right situation. But are you COMPLETE? Are you WHOLE? Not without God. NOT without Christ who through FAITH makes us WHOLE, COMPLETE, SOUND, RIGHT with GOD!!!! <br /><br />Nicole Young | Urban Wings Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461739991596421340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187636663015565979.post-28392739646853660942012-12-11T18:20:00.000-06:002012-12-11T18:20:14.372-06:00Forever<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wonderful. Counselor. Mighty God. Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace. <br />Everlasting Father.<br />Forever. Ancient. Before time began. Continuous. Never ending. <br />Have you ever thought about forever? Forever. I can’t comprehend it. Everything I know. Everything I understand, has a beginning and end. A start and a finish. Every person I know. Everything I see. Everything I can touch and feel. <br />Forever is beyond our comprehension. <br />But with God as our Father. God as the protector and lover of our souls, we have a PROMISE that those that have faith in Christ will spend that uncomprehendable FOREVER with HIM. What a comfort FOREVER suddenly becomes. We will spend the everlasting eternity of our souls in the FOREVER AWESOME PRESENCE of our LORD AND SAVIOR!<br />"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, <br />and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."<br />--John 5:24<br /><br /><br />Nicole Young | Urban Wings Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461739991596421340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187636663015565979.post-58647638890066782182012-12-08T20:11:00.000-06:002012-12-08T20:11:00.536-06:00MIGHTY GOD.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Journaling reads:<br />
Wonderful. Counselor. Mighty God. Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace. <br />
Wonderful. By definition: to be marvelous, be surpassing, be extraordinary, separate by distinguishing action. <br />
He created the world. Every drop of rain comes from Him. Every
creature in the sea is His. He crafted every star in the expanse of the
universe. Yet he wants a personal relationship with ME? He stepped
off His throne in heaven to die for ME? He willingly became the atoning
sacrifice for ME? Something I could never do on my own! How can my
response be anything but THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being SOOOO WONDERFUL!
Thank you for your sacrifce for ME! I would say that wonderful only
begins to describes how AWESOME He is! I pray this Christmas season and
every day after that I will never forget. That I will never take for
granted the WONDERFUL AWESOMENESS of God! <br />Nicole Young | Urban Wings Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461739991596421340noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187636663015565979.post-7092145580295014632012-12-03T21:13:00.001-06:002012-12-03T21:13:04.435-06:00Though you are small....Bethlehem. Though you are small. Out of you will come a ruler. From ancient times. <br /><br />If I had written history. I certainly would have picked something bigger. Something flashier. Somewhere with huge crowds. Pomp and circumstance. <br /><br />But not God. He chose a humble town. A humble stable. A humble Son “Who, being in very nature God,did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!--<br />Phillippians 2:6-11.”<br /><br />I am so thankful that I am not the one that wrote history. God in His awesome plan used what was least expected. And that gives me immense hope that he will be able to use me. I am not some big important person. I have not led a perfect life. My past is stained with sin and flaws. I still trip and fall and struggle sometimes. But God loves that humble place in our heart. He desires us to turn it over fully to Him. To be used by Him. For His purpose. He covers us with His blood, so that He can use us for His mighty plans. Though I am small. Though I am flawed. He covers my sin. He removes my shame. He creates in me a clean heart. A light unto the world. He has plans for us. Plans He purposed for us before the foundation of the earth.<br />From ancient times.<br />

<br />
I took a photo of my dining room table center piece. During the year
the bowl is filled with potpouri and the vase is filled with dry
flowers. But during Christmas, I decorate with evergreen, cranberries
(fake), Christmas balls and bells and I stuck 3 large nails in the vase.
They remind me that while Jesus came as a sweet little baby, he came
to sacrifice His life on the cross. He came to die. And those nails
remind me to be thankful for the price He paid! <br />
<br />
Journaling says:<br />
Do not be afraid. Certainly NOT the most important words of this verse. Probably even some of the most easy to overlook. But for an easily anxious person like me in a very fallen world, those words are so comforting. Do not be afraid, NICOLE. Do not be afraid because My love is more than you can imagine. Do not be afraid because I, God, the creator of heaven and earth love you enough to send My own Son to die in your place. Do not be afraid because I have your best in mind. I love those words. <br />Do not be afraid. I also love that Mary’s response. She was a real girl, who WAS afraid, who needed assurance, from God, just like me. She needed to know that everything was going to be okay. And I love that about Mary. That she needed to be told to NOT be afraid and God provided assurance and tender love. Let her response be my heart’s cry: “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Luke 1:38 <br />Lord, I am your servant. I will not be afraid. Your will be done in my life! Thank you for your assurance and your tender love and mercy! <br />

Do you realized how much I was spending on Starbucks each year???? RIDICULOUS people!!! So I now have accepted that coffee from home is my way of life. 3 cups. All before 10am most days. All that to say. I am resisting every urge to go drive through and get myself a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. This is hard to resist. HARD! And soon it will be November and they will come out with their Egg Nog Lattes and ALL BETS ARE OFF. I MUST get at least one (or ten) Egg Nog Lattes this year. They are MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! I would give up food for a week to have one. It's that serious! <br />
<br />
So now that you know my coffee resisting weaknesses, you get to hear about a challenge for you! This one won't break the bank like a daily trip to Starbucks will!

And I kinda stink at scrapping my heritage, or anything about me, or pretty much anything other than my own kids. So in an attempt to at least document some "past" I thought I would post 10 random things about my childhood....that you don't know about me, that you may not have WANTED to know about me ;)<br />
<br />
So....<br />
Ten Things About Me as a Child<br />
<br />
1. I always wanted a black eye. Sad, I know. But I was just convinced that it would be SO cool to have that black squinty eye look. Minus the pain, cuz that would totally stink. Never happened. My dreams were crushed!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. I hated chocolate and pretzels. I know...even sadder!<br />
3. I wanted to fly. I even prayed that if God would just let me fly, that I would fly around and share His love and not tell anyone about my super flying ability. I do tell people how much I LOVE JESUS....unfortunately God didn't answer "yes" to the flying part....or did He??? Hmmmm I wouldn't be able to tell you would I????<br />
4. I can recite every word from The Princess Bride. <br />

5. I was convinced that someday I would star in Phantom of the Opera. OBSESSED is an understatement. Problem? I don't dance and only sing in front of my own family. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f8/Phantom.jpg/215px-Phantom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f8/Phantom.jpg/215px-Phantom.jpg" /></a></div>
6. I was born in the 80s but didn't listen to New Kids on the Block or Vanilla Ice. I have never seen Ghost Busters or Back To The Future. In other words I was totally deprived. I did however tight roll my jeans, over hairspray my hair, and wear three pairs of socks at the same time for a "layered" look. And hair scrunchies were my best friend!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7. I wanted 100 kids. Or zero. Apparently I didn't know what I wanted as a kid. I didn't want to be the "mom" to my baby dolls. I was the older sister. PERIOD. END OF STORY. MY mom had to be my baby dolls mom. Parenting was of NO interest to me. Then, I changed my mind. I wanted to marry someone rich, have 100 kids and live in a castle with my whole family (grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc) I guess a fabulous husband, 4 kids and a cozy home is a nice happy medium. <br />
8. I wanted to be named Annie. For real. I cried when my mom wouldn't let me change my name. I was 10. I am still crushed.<br />
9. I thought it was cool to wear flared jeans before it was cool to wear flared jeans. I was either WAY off and NOT cool. Or I totally started a trend. I think I will go with the latter.<br />

10. I hated coffee. I hated the way it tasted. I hated the way it smelled. I now live on it. Oh how things change!!!<br />
