December 16th, 2018: The Shepherd’s Candle
Luke 10:6
“If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.” (NIV)
Sit with this verse and think of areas in your lives that can be adjusted to bring more peace into your life. This week as we prepare for the birth of our savior, I chose not to do a recording. Instead my own lesson is to Be Still. May this be yours as well.
Merry Christmas for all of us at CharlotteO Ministries!

Have a magnificent week!
So much has happened since I last sat down to write a short note to you. Our ministry finally received the name change we applied for through the IRS, all organizational changes were completed without a hitch, I took impromptu trips to 3 small towns in Colorado, had overnight company, welcomed a new member to our ministry’s design team, and much more.
Throughout every process, so much was revealed to me of why I left the some-timey life of my casual walk with Christ to now having a pleasant marathon as I run with him, doing this work, and run toward him, every chance that I get. Gosh my heart leaps even now, to think of this beautiful and sweet relationship.
This time of the year, offers so much wonder and anticipation as we come closer to the birth of Jesus. On my evening drives, the beautiful decorations (I prefer white lights) are so touching to see. Christmas & candle light during the month of December carves out my journey to the coming of such a magnificent being, our Jesus. Among many other seasonal splendor, I cherish these so…
Whatever, your traditions are for Christmas, think of what the Apostle Paul wrote and likewise my prayer for you.
“My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God’s people.” ~ Ephesians 1:18 CEV
Always keep his Light in your heart.
With Love,
Charlotte

Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Relax and Focus: Find a quiet space to get ready to read the verses
Read: 1 Samuel 2:1-10
Reflect: Hannah lived in mental despair for many years. Not only did she feel somewhat sorry for herself for not being able to have a child, she was likewise ridiculed by those around her. Over 2,000 years ago, Hannah’s experience lends familiarity to what occurs in our everyday circumstances. We feel sorry for ourselves when things are not going right and there are people in our lives who are ready to judge and ridicule at the drop of a hat. Yet, Hannah continued to pray. She prayed relentlessly that she would be given a child.
What goal, idea, or accomplishment are you incubating right now? Are you praying and asking God for guidance? Do you keep your plans between you and God? Or are you blabbing it to everyone? Do you believe that you have the patience to wait for God’s answers even if these answers sometime take years? Do you listen when his answer is NO? Do you live in gratitude while waiting for the answers or when the answer is NO?
Perhaps you may have some questions you have bottled up for years that you can add to these.
Discern on the answers you’ve provided to these questions. Keep them near as a reference point for you during times of when you believe or have a desire to complain about God’s timing in your life.
Rest: Rest your thoughts and consider ways you could pray while including gratitude. Here’s an idea, maybe you can simply just spend a week thanking HIM for all that he has done and continues to do in your life. Don’t ask for anything during this time, just thank him.
Discuss: Share your findings with family members and friends who are open to listen. Be sure to discuss why this is important to you, and thank them for allowing you to share your thoughts and feelings.
