Welcome!

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3
I have been encouraged by my husband to start a blog with my faith in Jesus as the focus. Today, I accepted his challenge and am excited about opening my heart to others as I attempt to do that. I entitled this blog "Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus" because I have come to realize in my Christian walk that Jesus has not had the center stage. I was trying to do all the "rights" and avoid all the "wrongs" and was forgetting the WHY. There is so much that can be taken from the verse I listed above, but right now I simply want the emphasis to be on Him. Jesus. The author and perfecter of our faith. His life, death, and resurrection are the WHY! That is what the Gospel is all about: the good news about Jesus and God's power to save........US!

So, Welcome!
