Miriam's Moments

The purpose of this blog is to draw you and I to a closer relationship with the living God and to be an encouragement to you who live in the same world as I. This world seeks to bring us down and keep us from catching even a glimpse of our Heavenly Father, so it's our duty as Christians to shine Christ's light in the darkness and help people to see the One Who has created us. I would love to talk with you all about Jesus and share the exciting things He is doing in our lives!

Hello there,
I'm very sorry to say that this will be my shortest post ever! I just spent my whole evening looking for something for my brother to no avail and now it is to late for me to do a full post. :(
('course, the last one was pretty short, too. ) Well, anyways, I have so many pictures I want to share with you! I can't wait 'til I have more time! We're headed out to play some concerts in Maine this weekend so my next post will probably have some pics of that trip! =) If you could be praying for the concerts, that would be great! We want God to be there and Him to be glorified!

Oh! You wouldn't believe it....although you might, of course... =) but my Grandmother's backyard is FULL of Azalias! This picture is a little part of the blanket of pinks and reds stretching through her woods. It's so pretty so I just had to show you. However, I am glad that those leaves chose to poke through where they did because it could have been just slightly to intense of a pink without a bit of a contrast in color. :) Anyways, I am off to bed now so I hope you have a splendid night (or day) and God bless you!
your sister in Christ, Miriam

P.S. In case you're interested in doing some memorizing, here's the memory verse for this week:
" Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
~ Joshua 1:9

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to encourage you all to spend time with Jesus tonight! I just spent some time sitting with Him and reading my Bible, and let me tell you, it is the most refreshing thing! Can you believe, that out of the imagination of the God of the universe, came this flowering tree? It's so delicate and has such a perfume... it just never ceases to amaze me. :) And I was just thinking about how I'm in such a rush to get pictures of all of the beautiful spring flowers as if they were never coming again...but the reality is that we get to enjoy these things for all eternity!

However, this also makes me have such an urgency to tell others about it. We do get to enjoy the sweetness of God's presence and the things He has created for all eternity...but doesn't it make you sad that so many millions of people don't share our joy? They don't have this beautiful future to look forward to. So start thinking about the beauty of God's nature and get out and tell people about Him! You'll get lot's of flack, but don't you think it's worth it? The one or two that do listen will be standing with you in heaven praising our Father. :)
Love you lot's and lot's and I'll keep praying for strength for you and you please do the same for me. =) God bless you!

your sister in Christ, Miriam

Hi Everyone,
I finally have the pictures of this past weekend's concert in Montreal and New York. Sorry it took so long! Anyway, it's the longest post in the world so just prepare yourself. lol At least I didn't put all 130 of them! (Only most of them...;) So I'll start with the daffodils in the Briggs' front lawn and go from there to Sturbridge *where the sky pic was taken from*to ......umm....wherever I stop. =) God bless you and have a wonderful weekend!
Love in Christ, Miriam
