Sometimes, we keep asking God to answer our prayers, and when we don’t get what we want, we walk away from God. I pray about everything. I pray about little things and big things. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;… Continue reading I Choose God’s Plan

Complete It
Did you ever start something new, and it was so much harder than you anticipated? I started a new exercise program, and wow, it is hard. I know it is good for me, but I have spent the past week using the heating pad twice a day. I know that I have to start somewhere.… Continue reading Complete It
Thank you, God, for this opportunity to stay safe
Good morning. How are you doing through this Coronavirus Pandemic? I mentioned yesterday that our county has closed schools through next week.

I trust in God, but yesterday, I felt uneasy.… Continue reading Thank you, God, for this opportunity to stay safe

Nothing bad happened today. It is just emotionally exhausting. I cannot pretend, that she is the same, as she was three months ago. I try to… Continue reading Keep Up The Faith

No Grumbles Here, Please
My kids often grumble before dinner, "Aww, mom, I set the table last night, do I have to do it again?" Yes. Yes, you do. We all have to do things we don't like. They are not the only ones. When I see the trash piling up, I grumble inside my head too, do I… Continue reading No Grumbles Here, Please
