My Tool Kit: Faith, Bible, Prayers
Do you ever pray and wonder if or when God will answer your prayers? I used to almost give myself a panic attack trying to figure out if God would answer my prayer and if so, when.

God Can Be Glorified Through You
I am always amazed that God will take us where we are at right now. Would you make friends with someone that was always talking badly about you and trying to hurt you?

Day 26: My Advice Comes From The Lord
Have you ever met someone who feels obligated to tell you what do? I don't mean a teacher or doctor that is instructing you. I mean someone who looks at you and sums you up as someone that needs to hear her advice now. Unsolicited. Everyone loves that, right? It can be irritating, but you… Continue reading Day 26: My Advice Comes From The Lord
Day 25: Change Your Outlook
Have you ever heard that expression "Fake it, until you make it"? I think sometimes you have to change your mind-set to be successful. You have to honest and truthful with yourself.

Have you ever seen that bumper sticker that says "Bloom where you are planted"? Today, as I read the bible verse in Hosea, I thought of it. I have planted myself in many places, but I was not happy.
