<span style="font-family: inherit;">Livin' in the Grace. Are you livin' in the grace of God that only He can give? If you're not or you are not sure, take just a moment to talk to the Judeo Christian God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the father of Jesus, the only way to God. The Bible says in Romans 10 :13 "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." You may be asking "From what do I need to be saved?" That is a good question. In my life, I've often needed saving from myself and my own way of doing things. I've made some pretty poor decisions in my life. On the other hand, I've made some pretty good ones. Most of the good decisions came after deciding that I needed Jesus to be Lord of my life. Life wasn't immediately easier after making that decision, but once I learned how to trust and cast my cares upon Him it got easier. I learned that I don't have to carry the weight of the world anymore because Jesus already did it at the Cross. What does that mean? It means that if you let him, He will help get you through whatever you are facing because He loves you. You are so loved by God that He gave his son Jesus to be the sacrifice once and for all. All that we have to do is believe and receive. I know that you are feeling the Lord speak to you saying "I love you, come home" otherwise you would not still be reading this. You are so LOVED. You were uniquely created for a specific purpose and gifted with the ability to carry out that purpose. Get connected to the one who created you and gifted you, to learn how to fulfill your hopes and dreams. Dig deep inside and discover that there is so much more to life than just living. Connect with Jesus and LIVE IN THE GRACE!</span>Alicia Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10663509993950585991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433461022569386749.post-86167255374849622912011-11-26T08:41:00.001-08:002013-10-27T16:12:12.230-07:00That was NOT easy.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you carrying the burdens of living this life in this depressed economy. Trying to provide for your family; keeping up with mortgage, groceries, utilities, car payments, and maintenance? Are you in a job (if you have one at all) you don't like, spending more time there than with your family? Well, exchange them for Jesus' burden.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give your cares, worries, troubles, burdens to Him and you <b>will </b>find rest. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What?" you ask. "It can't be that easy?"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But it is. It's that easy. Jesus came that we might have abundant life if we just believe HIM. Not just believe in Him but believe HIM and what He says is true.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have to change our way of thinking and speaking. We have to begin to confess our desired outcome. Say things like "I am blessed" "I have more than enough to pay my bills and to be a blessing to others" Speak the Word about your situation. Oh yeah and give Him thanks and praise. Show grace, mercy and forgiveness to your family, friends and co-workers. Love is the motivator. Because He first loved us.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, lay your burdens down and strap yourself to His yoke. When you do, you'll find that He bears most of the weight. He said his yoke was easy and his burden was light. Make the exchange..."What's in your wallet?"</span></div>

Your heart, your devotion, your soul, your love. He so loved, and BTW still loves, the world that He gave His only son Jesus, that whoever would believe in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. Jesus came that we might have an abundant life! Message me if you want to know more about Jesus, the one who loves you so much that he would die for you.Alicia Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10663509993950585991noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433461022569386749.post-27083180087788186852011-01-12T20:33:00.000-08:002011-01-13T02:23:45.650-08:00Acoustic Fireside Concert<div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Songwriters and Their Stories</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"><em>featuring</em></span></div><div align="center"><br />

It was a blast and a half! Learned a tune that Tania introduced with her on keys, Analisa on the eukaleli (sp) and me on bass and everyone sang...we sound awesome together I can't wait 'till the next time we get together. <br />
<br />
By the way, a couple of weeks ago I decided I needed a cajon so I did some research online and I decided to make my own out of an old wine box that I had. Well...I finished it tonight! It's not very pretty but it sounds pretty decent for my first one. Now I just have to finish cutting out the sound hole, sand it and stain it and it'll be ready for show. I'll post pictures later when it's ALL done.Alicia Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10663509993950585991noreply@blogger.com0
