So recently I have had some time to read some books. Because of the start of the school year I get about 4 hours of silent time each day. It is perfect time to spend time with my God in the word, prayer, and worship. One of the books I have read this past week is by Bruce Wilkinson. I have read many of his books like, "The Dream Giver" and "The Prayer of Jabez." So when I saw another book at church from him I knew I had to pick it up.

This book it called "Secrets of The Vine, Breaking Through to Abundance." How wonderful, I know we are to live in the abundance of God however, my thinking sometimes looks at the lack. I figured lets read and see what happens. In those pages of that book did I learn something. Something amazing, that helps me understand more of what God is doing in my life. 

September has finally arrived and with that the beginning of the ber months. This is when the Christmas season starts in the Philippines. Four wonderful months of Christmas celebration. This is something I like to do. I already have my small Christmas tree up on my desk, the Christmas lights are still up from last year, I am going through my music finding all the Christmas music. It is just a wonderful time of the year.

As I am sitting here writing this blog about Christmas season and getting ready to celebrate the holidays I just can't help but think of other people. I see all that I have the the comfortable lifestyle that I can live if I want it, but I do not. I have the ability to spend the holidays with friends and family, when there are millions of people around the world that have been either betrayed by family member and sold into slavery or where kidnapped or even tricked into slavery.
