I’ve always been deeply blessed by the ministry of Damaris Carbaugh, not just by the words she sings but by how deeply she feels them! Her music always points us beyond ourselves to Christ, who is the focus of her life and ministry. Let her bless you with her songs of inspiration and hope! — Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Moody Church, Chicago

What I want in 2009

01/03/2009

Some people think that making a New Year’s resolution is a recipe for failure.  Well, I guess for many of us, if we’re honest, we would have to admit that many of the promises we’ve made to do better, think better, in essence live better, have not been kept.  Ugh!  What are we to do?

Good news, folks, good news!  Jesus Christ offers to live His life in us through His Holy Spirit!  So, my desire for 2009 is to love the Lord my God more and more… with all of my heart, mind, soul and strength, and to let Him be who He is in me!  That also means that I have to tell Dámaris (that’s me) that she must remember that she has died to herself (that’s what I so easily forget) and that Christ now lives in her.  ”… for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.” Philippians 2:13  

So, how do we do this?  By faith.  Let’s believe Him this year.  Oh, yeah, Happy New Year!!!

img_3290Happy New Year!  This has been a sweet Christmas time with our family, our extended family, and more food than anyone should eat!!  It has been an especially happy time because we have both of our children with us.

We had a sweet watchnight service at our church, Manhattan Grace Tabernacle, where we were reminded of God’s faithfulness, and encouraged to press on through 2009, regardless of what we may face.  Christ is still on his throne, and has promised us all of the grace that we need.  After the service we had a time of fellowship with folks, then went out for a late meal.  Our kids, Ashley and James, had their own plans after our service, so they went separate ways.  

On New Year’s Day we all (more…)
