Each one of us were created with a purpose and God designed us with specific gifts, talents and passions. Some of us instictively know what we want to do or were purposed to do early on...some of us are still seeking direction on finding our true purpose.
 I was blessed to reconnect with a high school classmate last year. During our visit, we talked about our God-Given gifts and passions...Julie paints....I write. Julie shared this particular piece with me and gave me the opportunity to name it and put words to it and we are now sharing it with you! 
We pray that you enjoy our collaboration and that you use your gifts for the glory of God!
1 Peter 4:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.


                                         JUBILATION

In Genesis 1 God laid the foundation
He molded and shaped the earth the world and the nation
He added the sun, the moon and the stars
and designed planets, like Jupiter, Venus and Mars.
God gave meaning to darkness as well as to light
and declared ALL things precious in His pure sight.
God brightened the world with vivid colors and hues
He began with the reds and greens...yellows and blues. 
God brought life to the world and so it began
and He formed in His own image and likeness...a man.
Man was created to love and God truly loved him
God wanted man's light to shine and to never go dim.
God's plan for His children is to flourish and grow
and to tell others about Him, wherever they go.
We must study His Word and protect His creation
and do so with love, peace and JUBILATION!!
