Live courageously from your heart!
We now live in an ‘on demand’ society and we get caught up in the jet stream of life. Even though we are connected more than ever as a global online community, we are now more dis-connected than ever from a relational perspective.
What has all this technology done to erode personal relationships? People-to-people interactions?
If you are new to blogging or have been blogging for sometime now we all think we write good posts, don’t we?

Let’s pause and step back into the very first Christmas Eve.
Mary and Joseph were homeless, a day away from giving birth and far away from their family. It was in this moment that they had to choose to trust the God and to this day we all know the result of their choosing to trust Him.
I’ve learned through my own life journeys that if you want God’s best then you have to walk it out with Him, on His terms, from start to finish. This journey is not an easy one, but the longer you stay on the journey with Him the greater your reward will be.
The true meaning of Christmas is becoming more blurred with each passing year.
For those of you who have been walking the journey out with me over the years here on Heartstone know that life is not always fair, its tough and through it as all we share many of the same stories. These events in our lives shape us along the way and how we choose to interpret these events makes all the difference in the world.
One of these events for me was divorce. It was tough…very tough, but I’ve learned so much about myself that I would not have learned unless I walked through this dark chapter in my life. I could have let it destroy me, but God put the right people in my path to help me walk it out and to see life through a different lens. I am learning to walk it out as my authentic self, to being the real deal, choosing to live life fully alive through it all.
God definitely got my attention, but breaking free of the expectations of this performance-oriented view of the world would take some time. Here is a snippet from Heartstone that described my condition.
Have you heard the Little Drummer Boy by Pentatonix? All I can say is wow and I have my favorite Christmas song for 2013, enjoy!
This will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit!
