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!

My prayer...

Our lives are full of sin. And I find myself lately asking the Lord to forgive me a lot and cleans my heart. Sometimes I am so aware of my sin that it breaks me to tears. This is a song that I love that I have been praying a lot lately. Hope you like it:

Heal my hart and make it clean

Open up my eyes to the things unseen

Show me how to love like You have loved me

Break my heart for what breaks Yours

Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause

As I walk from earth into Eternity

May we use our lives to further His kingdom and not our own!!

Love2all

Sept/Oct happenings!

It's been lots of fun the past month and into October. We had lots of fun things going on: Claire's surprise party, Cami Teal's 3rd birthday, Troy football games, women's retreat and the "Playing in the Hay" party for Mack and Rebecca! I'm looking forward to the fun stuff coming up too but for now here are some pictures to catch up! - Love2all!

Thank you

Thank you for all my sweet blogging friends, and family that have called me, texted me or wrote me a encouraging note this past week. I was really battling last week and thanks to your prayers and encouragement the Lord brought me through it. HE is in control of my comings and goings and has held a hedge of protection around me! I can shout to Him with thanksgiving and praise!



My friend Laura Susan is a beautiful singer and I love the song "Til I see You" when she sings it. I can hear her now! Read the lyrics, I think you will like it too!

"Til I see You"

The greatest love that anyone could ever know

That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul

And 'til I see You face to face

And grace amazing takes me home, I will trust in You

With all I am I live to see Your kingdom come

And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done

And 'til I see You face to face

And grace amazing takes me home, I will trust in You

I will live to love You

I will live to bring You praise

I will live a child in awe of You

You are the voice that calls the universe to be

You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me

And 'til I see You face to face

And grace amazing takes me home, I will trust in You

You alone are God of all

You alone are worthy Lord

And with all I am, my soul will bless Your name

Will you pray for me?

I really try to post positive, upbeat, fun and interesting things. So I am giving you a heads up, if you read this post you might think differently of me.

For several months now I have been questioning my value to others. Do I really matter? If I wasn’t here, would I be missed? I know you might be thinking, come on Hollie of course you matter and would be missed, but truly my insecurities are getting the best of me right now. To many times I have made people big and God small. There are many reasons why I feel this way but I won’t get into them. All I’m asking for is prayer. Would you lift me up today and ask the Lord to send some encouragement my way? Would you ask the Lord to help me with these insecurities and help me to believe despite my circumstances that I do matter and that I do have value? I know what scripture says but I am struggling with believing it tonight.

This is a selfish post, I know, but ask the Lord to make less of me and more of HIM!

Thanks for your prayers!

Love2all
