Merry Christmas from Choose 2 Think Ministries

EVERY DAY IS CHRISTMAS

Every day is a day to celebrate the impact Christ has had in your life.

Every day is a day to share your testimony about God's mercy and grace.

Every day is a day to bear the fruit of the Spirit.

Every day is a day to let your light shine before your friends and families and any strangers you may meet.

Every day is a day to bend your knee in humility and submission to the God you serve.

Every day is a day to give thanks for the divine favor and blessings you have received.

In every way and on every day, you can live out the Christmas birthed in your heart, mind, and spirit.

Christmas is a 24/7/365 kind of holiday. 

Choose 2 think today about what Christ has done.

And in the words of the old hymn:​
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;


Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born.
O night, O holy night, O night divine.


Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming;
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand:
So, led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land,
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;


He knows our need, To our weakness no stranger!
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King! your King! before him bend!


Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is Love and His gospel is Peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease,
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful Chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise his Holy name!

​
Christ is the Lord, then ever! ever praise we!
His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!

When I saw this pic in Carol's media kit, my heart leapt inside my chest.

Yes, this is the one.

Carol's known for her joy and a lively spirit. Her tone and her eyes speak volumes. 

She's passionate and personable. Practical yet deep. A student of the Word and an apply-er of that Word in her life. Her stories will warm your heart and challenge you to go deeper in your walk with God. 

Join Carol and me on the show today as we talk faith and practical ways you can face trial and hardship. You won't be disappointed in our conversation--we're like two old friends chatting over a cup of coffee about how we live out the Bible in our lives.

We share about our personal bouts with depression, how to walk in our calling and purpose, and unpack several nuggets from her book 
Meanwhile. You don't want to miss the prayer at the end (direct quote from her book).
