How deep the Fathers love for us...

We sang this song at church yesterday and it brought me to tears. It is a beautiful picture of the gospel and what this Christmas Season is all about. Click here to hear the song, you will be blessed! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son, To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One, Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocing voice, Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there, Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything, No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom

Friends in C-town!

Almost 4 years ago Robby and I moved from Troy, AL to Columbus, GA. At first I thought it would be fine. I would meet new people, stay in contact and see my old friends all the time. But I was sure wrong! It was so hard to meet new people in Columbus and even harder to find true friends to connect with. And now it's harder than ever to see old friends! Half of them don't even live in the south! I never knew how hard it would be but God was so good to me and answered my prayers. I was very sad for about a year, even depressed. But HE was faithful to me and brought me new friends, and they are so precious. These friends have blessed my life and I know they love me because when they met me I had nothing to offer them and yet they took me in any way! Here are some pictures below of some very dear people to me!










Merry Christmas

It's been busy as usual around the Farmer household but we are exciting to be celebrating 6 years of marriage, Robby's birthday and Christmas all this month!



I pray you and your family will have a wonderful Christmas remembering our Saviors birth! If He had not come, we would not have much to celebrate!


My prayer for my friends and family this year comes from Mark 8:34-38. That we fix our eyes on Jesus this Christmas season. That we would deny ourselves these worldly desires, (more stuff to fill our homes with) adore God for who He is and what He has done in our lives and that we would follow Him. Worship the creator rather than the created things in the stores. That we would stop every day, drop to our knees and take hold of Jesus' hand.


It is so easy to fix our eyes on the things of the world this time of year and I usually don't catch myself doing it until after I have done it. So this year I am being "intentional" about my time with Jesus. I hope you can find time everyday to spend time talking to him, reading the word and kneeling at His feet!


Merry Christmas!
