Word: Nothing Is Impossible With God, Luke 1

Just as Mary let the Holy Spirit dwell in her to bring about God’s dreams through her life – plans that were larger than she could imagine – let’s do the same and remember in this season and in the upcoming year that with God, nothing is impossible.

He is a God of miracles, marvels and great love for you and I, represented in the present He sent to live among us – God incarnate, love personified…

May your dreams be merry and bright this season and in the New Year!

- Julene Fleurmond, Editor of Dream in Soul & SOAR


Word: The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, 27 to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. 28 Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!”

29 Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. 30 “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!”

34 Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”

35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. 36 What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she’s now in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.

38 Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.

The Heart Of Christmas – Album & Music Video from Matthew West

Matthew West’s new Christmas album The Heart Of Christmas features this beautiful song of the same title, reminding us about the most valuable gifts God has given us – life, family and loved ones and most of all Jesus who came to give us life eternal.

The song is also featured in the movie The Heart Of Christmas, also starring Matthew West along with Candace Cameron Bure and Anita Renfroe airing on GMC throughout this month. The movie is based on a true story of one family’s desire for their seriously ill son to experience an early and memorable Christmas, and how an entire community came together to make it possible.

Jamie Grace Describing the Making of the Christmas Together Video

My birthday (November 25th) was spent with some great people to make this crazy, fun, quirky music video for “Christmas Together.” It features my mom, dad, big sis Morgan and her hubs Patrick and includes some more of my family and closest friends. We had SO much fun! This video wouldn’t have been possible without everyone taking their holiday week to hang out and do this!;) Thank you! Also to my aunt who catered the party haha, SESAC who sent me an amazing cake and Cynthia whose birthday was the same day but still came.;) LOVE LOVE!!

Cameo Appearances by Jonah Limbert and Jane King – two of the most remarkable dancers on this planet.
