Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) says, Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the desert, and paths in the wilderness. I’m not sure about you all but I’m so glad a page has turned and we are in a new year. This verse is rich […]

I want to share what the Lord has laid on my heart. I have heard the name Immanuel since I was a little girl. Especially around Christmas time. The prophecy spoken in Isaiah 7:14 had come to fruition and here lies the most unlikely thing that has ever happened on earth. A Savior in a […]
