When asked about what most excites her as she approaches the midpoint of her Grade 12 year, Hayley Tote doesn’t mention university applications or even the volleyball she excels at. Instead, she talks about people. 

“I have really good friendships that I’d like to maintain after high school,” she says. “I’d also like to build friendships with people I don’t talk to regularly.” 

Luke 2:6-7

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

Joshua 1:9

Did you know that worry erases the promises of God from your mind?

With the ongoing warmer than average weather, you have to wonder if it will be a white Christmas? And with daytime highs later this week expected to be well above freezing, it will definitely be melting.

Luke 1:76-78

And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

Psalm 31:6-7

You may be going through a trial so overwhelming that it's borderline unbearable. 

You want to see the end of the tunnel. Which is only natural, because once we see that little speck of light, we feel we can make it through to the finish. 

But God's tunnels are often twisting, too complex and dark to see the light for many days. 

In such settings He says, "In that dark, twisting, seemingly endless period of time, trust Me. Stop running scared! Stop fearing!"

Luke 1:68-70

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago)
