Dont we have an awesome design team?  I hope you are enjoying the hop, seeing some wonderful layouts and reading some inspiring stories of what God is doing in each of our lives. We have a ton of RAKS, a Grand Prize and another prize for someone that completes the Blog Hop Layout Challenge.  Wow!!!!


Here is my story for you.... I became a Christian when I was a child but in Jr. High School I remember really committing to follow him.  I have really tried to live a life that glorifies our Lord.  It doesnt always mean that I accomplish that but I really try.  I also really have a heart for missions and helping others.  I have done several mission positions abroad (Europe, Africa and Mexico) I live in Norway right now with my husband and daughter but we are not here with a mission organization.  My husband took a job here flying the air ambulance.  It is so very different from the life I know in California.  Just because we arent here with a mission group it doesnt mean that God doesnt have a reason and a purpose for us being here.  We know that God lead us here... we have had a lot of bad days though.... wondering why here?  We havent been able to find a church or bible studies or any of the christian community we were use to.   Norway has a State Church and unfortunately not many people attend it on a regular basis.  Many of the people dont see a need for God in their lives they just see church and God as a tradition.  On the bad days I remember that he promises me that He will never leave me or forsake me.... and He wont give me more than what I can handle.... He is such a good God!  So we continue on living for him and trying to be a light for him here above the Arctic Circle.  How long will we be here?  Where will we go next?  I dont know but God has a plan and is doing very special in my life!  God's Blessings for each of you and have a very Merry Christmas!

This is one of my all time favorite layouts so I just thought I would share it with you...
