Back Blogging: Kim Clement for encouragement

 Hi ya Gorgeous,
I'm really enjoying the back blogging experience. I expect to not ever have another gap like that in my blogging.
In fact, I'm thinking I'm going to write the blog through the end of year ten and then hang it up. But we shall see.

Now today, what I want to share is the beautiful concert pianist turned encourager in the Word of God, Kim Clement.

Below is a word from him and a link to his website where you can tune in to his webcasts and playing. You can also visit his events live in Camarillo. I plan to go out next month for the Den.

Enjoy!

A Moment with Me in My Garden

From time to time, God separates me to pray and to listen. Now in the middle of January, I am in my garden and so much is being revealed to me. I had a dream last night of a huge house and property, and for a while I was lost in this house and had to ask for directions to the main living area. The dream contained a promise regarding property and freedom. I will share this today from my Garden on our Prophetic Workshop.
The other thing that I heard, and it was clear to me, which I will also share today, is about the death of certain leaders. I heard these words, “There has to be the death of certain leaders before I can release on the earth a portion of my Glory and Presence stored up for this time.” Today I will begin sharing this but will complete this revelation on Saturday. So it’s an interesting week and you don’t want to miss today’s special time with me as I minister to you from my sacred garden.
KIM

12 Days of Gifts and Giving: the encouragement for today comes in the form of song

Hello Gorgeous,
Quick note to give you and afternoon word of encouragement and some song to go along!

The 12 Days of Gifts and Giving holiday guide with Makeup University has been amazing to write and give to you!

I love this song. It's not a traditional holiday song and in fact was written and used in the movie Neptune's Daughter. With that said, it just feels good to listen to it. Maybe dance around the house with it! No matter what's going on, remember that any time you need to lift your spirits, put a good song on. Music works wonders! Remember: you are beautiful!

12 Days of Gifts and Giving: Encouragement is the best gift!

Hello Gorgeous,
It's my favorite time of the day in the blog and the 12 Days of Gifts and Giving. It's time to encourage you!

This is a great short story from Mark Hoog. Read and enjoy. Then encourage one another!

In 1993 I received the gift of a lifetime as I sat with my wife, brother, sister, and parents for our holiday gift exchange. This year was unique as, in only a few months, both my brother and I would become first time fathers. I looked at the stack of gifts to be exchanged and noticed one out of place box in the pile. It was a mid-size, beat up box, with wrapping paper of all sizes and colors taped randomly to it. I recognized it as the handy work of my brother who then reached for the sloppily wrapped package, carried it in my direction and set it on my lap asking, “Mark, if there was one gift- just one gift- you could give your child, what would it be?”

I was speechless. Money? A house? A car? My mind raced. What did my brother stuff in this sad looking little box? My mind drifted to the intangibles I hoped my unborn child would possess. I wanted my son or daughter to believe the canvas of life could hold a picture of unlimited potential and the brush to create it was firmly in the hand of the painter.

I wanted to make sure everything I did helped my child build a foundation of possibility. But how? The words, “Encouragement is oxygen to the soul” flashed through my mind. In that moment I realized my answer and told my brother that, through my parenting, I wanted to offer encouragement and help my child develop strong self-esteem.

The gift was never in the box…it was in the question. I realize now the perfect gift is not always held by the perfect box or wrapped in colorful paper. Sometimes the gift is that which encourages us to think about the contribution we make to the world around us.
