Rising Above Life’s Storms: Austin and Lindsey Adamec

Rising Above Life’s Storms: Austin and Lindsey Adamec                    

I can’t wait for Austin and Lindsey Adamec’s new album to come out. I recently heard an advance promotional copy and I think their new self-titled EP from Radiate Music is incredible. Their vocals are simply beautiful. The Adamecs There are six songs on the album. The lyrics of every song are heartfelt jewels of encouragement reminding us that God wants none of us to perish and that, with our heartfelt prayers, He will walk with us through every one of life’s storms.

This extremely gifted husband and wife team have dedicated their impressive musical talents to sharing God’s word through song. My favorite song on the album is, “Lost In You.” You can hear an excerpt of it in the video above. The guitar intro and soft harmonies lead the listener along a tranquil path. Sometimes I need that, just to hear a soothing song during the day.

Mysteries unraveling, hope that’s everlasting,

safe in the unknowing is where I want to be.

I’m lost in You, I’m lost in You.

Do you need encouragement? Are you facing a difficult challenge? This song affirms the real peace that comes when we are walking with God. He is always present, just a prayer away, when we put our trust in Him.

It Is Finished

Another favorite song of mine is “It Is Finished.”

A war was waged inside of Heaven,

a war the enemy has lost,

a war that ended with a sentence,

it is finished on the cross.

I love that! There is power, awesome power, in the name of Jesus. Through Him alone we will have the final victory. Spiritual attacks come into our lives, but remember that victory is ours. We must keep our focus and persevere in Jesus’ name.  When our hearts are heavy, we can shout it to our souls, “It is finished on the Cross!”

Rising Above Life’s Storms With Austin and Lindsey Adamec

Austin and Lindsey Adamec have weathered many storms in their own lives. In the beginning of their relationship, their busy schedules often kept them apart. Lindsey’s cup was already full as one of the talented singer/songwriters of 1 Girl Nation and Austin was burning the midnight oil as a singer and songwriter.

“With endless nights away from each other on the road and a growing whisper in our hearts to root ourselves back in the local church, we were desperate for signs in Scripture that pointed to such a crazy blind faith to step out into the unknown. That’s when the familiar passage of Peter walking on water came to us. In the midst of a massive storm on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus tells Peter to ‘come’ and walk out on the storm-battered waters,” 1 says Austin.

The reminder of Peter’s stormy encounter with Jesus marked a renewed commitment for the couple. They faced their challenges head on with fervent prayer and an unshakable faith. Austin and Lindsey AdamecThey decided to take a different path, become a duo, and the resulting album is a testimony to their beautiful story. I love that they are celebrating God’s faithfulness for the world to see. I hope their album will be a huge success. The album drops on March 29.

They also have a Facebook fan page at: https://www.facebook.com/Austin-and-Lindsey-Adamec-461601650710092/ I hope you get a chance to check them out. Love and blessings to you!

Merry Christmas to You and Yours

Merry Christmas to You and Yours

In the hustle and bustle of the season,

may we never forget the One who came to save us.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Celebrating The One Who Came To Save Us

Happy Birthday Jesus, the greatest gift of all! He alone is more than we ever need. He alone came to us as one of us and yet, He is divine.

Who could deserve such a love? Certainly not us and yet, He paid the price for our sins because He thinks we’re worth it.

It’s hard for the human mind to fathom.

Hallelujah Christians, that we have opened our eyes to this truth!

Who could deny such a gift of grace? Are they crazy?

The Bible’s foretelling of Jesus’ birth was fulfilled.

Scripture is Truth. For those of us who are Christian, our hearts are filled with the blessed promise of eternity with Him.

It’s time to spread the good news and, with guidance from the Holy Spirit,  help reach the lost for Christ!

Mosaic Christmas Ornament

mosaic Christmas ornamentHello friends!

Christmas is almost here and I wanted to share an adorable Mosaic Christmas Ornament idea with you.

I saw this short video on YouTube and just had to pass it on.

What a unique way to recycle old CD’s!

Can you tell I’m in a Christmas frame of mind? My house is decorated, the tree and Christmas lights are up, and I’m holding onto Philippians 4:5-9 –

*5 Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. 7 If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.

8 And now, brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.

How Can We Think About Christmas In Light Of Current Events?

I know things are awful right now in the news. I can’t stomach it most of the time, because evil is driven by satan himself. It’s easy to get distracted by all the bad news.

The good news is that when fear or worry start to take over, we are not left without battle armor.

As Christians, here’s what we have: the Blessed Assurance that God is still on His throne.

He can not be dethroned, demoted, or destroyed by anyone or anything.

We know He grieves along with us over these horrific tragedies occurring here and overseas.

We must continue to pray for the families involved and also for God’s divine protection over America and Israel. Keep our focus on King Jesus.

Satan wants nothing more than to distract us from our Savior.

Life will get harder and the news will get very discouraging at times for Christians, but with Christ we will have eternal victory.

King Jesus

God bless you and yours this Holy season!

Christmas Craft Idea For Parents And Kids

Unique Christmas Craft Idea – Decorating Glass Ornaments!

Christmas craft idea

I found a wonderful Christmas craft idea that I couldn’t wait to share with you. It looks like it’s a fun and relatively easy project to do and something you can get your kids involved in as well.

Is your Christmas tree up yet?

If you haven’t finished decorating your tree, this could be the project for you.

How about getting creative with some store-bought clear glass Christmas ornaments from our friends at Hobby Lobby?

I love colorful ornaments, and in about the two minutes it takes to watch this video, I bet you’ll get in a creative mood as well.

This is my favorite time of year. I couldn’t wait to decorate our home. I love the way it looks now. It’s a joy to walk around and take in the memories. There’s a story behind each little display.

The cherished manger pieces given to us by my husband’s parents are there to remind us of the real reason for the season.

Speaking of the real reason for Christmas…

Happy 50th Anniversary Charlie Brown!

Last night, my husband and I watched the annual Charlie Brown Christmas special. Did you see it too?

Every year, we make a point of staying home, lighting a fire in the fireplace, and cozying up to watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” For 50 years, this national treasure has captured the spirit of the season to the delight of young and old alike. Here’s a treasured scene. I hope you enjoy!

God bless you all!
