TODAY

We got up before 5:00am again today. We went to Rockefeller Plaza and watched the Today Show. We were on tv a few times. It was cold, but very interesting. Thanks Adam.

An entertaining dinner at Ellen's Stardust Diner. Up and coming Broadway stars as servers and singers. A yummy salad and burger for Adam. 

Off to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. 

My niece's name in lights. 

An amazing show at Radio City.

We finished the night with cheesecake and a muffin at The Bread House. 

Day 1 in New York

We arrived in New York early this afternoon. We took a bus and the subway to our hotel. We were entertained by a young man's dancing on the subway. 

We arrived at our hotel and had a few hours until we could check in. We walked in the rain for over two hours. 

We went to Macy's, Doughnut Planet, and the Flatiron Building. I have never seen more people, more coffee shops, and more people unlike me.  Excited for tonight as we see the Rockettes.  Planning to visit the Today Show tomorrow morning. 

Open it, know it, speak it, love it

"God is working on your behalf and Jesus is holding you together."  A new book from Brooke McGlothlin and Stacey Thacker, The Hope for the Weary Mom Devotional. To find out more, go to http://hopeforthewearymom.com #HOPEdevo

 

"When I was a young Christian I knew I should be reading the Bible. I believed it was the truth and that I should be obeying what it had to say. I embraced that mindset early on, by the grace of God, but I didn’t know how to activate it, or actually make it make a difference in my life. There was a disconnect somewhere between what I read and how it affected my heart." 

"When I was younger I battled fear. One of the ways war against this attack of the enemy was to speak God’s Word out loud, and even though God has given me a signicant measure of healing in this area, I still speak Bible verses out loud when I’m afraid."

 "The Bible has amazing power to transform our lives when we open it, know it, speak it, use it, and love it."

Hope for Hope

"My heart just breaks for Martha. I get her. I am her most days distracted by a million little and not-so-little details. I want to serve my family and love them like Jesus—I really do. But, I confess I’m anxious at times by it all."

"Gentle Lord, I am anxious today for all the undone things on my list. What I need more than anything is a Selah moment to sit with you and receive the rest my weary soul needs. I’m so grateful I can find that at your feet today. In Jesus’s name, amen."

Breakfast with Santa

On Saturday we visited Santa at the Pearl Club.  This was everyone's first time meeting Santa.  I was pleased that no one was afraid of him and all were willing to sit on his lap and speak to him. 

                              Audrey asked Santa for a pink bicycle. 

                Owen asked Santa for a Tot Clock, similar to the one his brother has. 

                            Alexander asked Santa for an invention. 

We enjoyed lots of donut holes, muffins, and cinnamon rolls.  We had a few grapes too.  Santa will be visiting our house soon.
