This morning, I went to the women's bible study. I felt like I was not good enough and maybe I did not belong there. Why do I let these thoughts slip into my head? God loves each and every one of us, just as we are. Sometimes the doubts feel overwhelming. I should be thinner.… Continue reading I am going to listen to what God says I am

Imitate Good
God protects us and watches over us. Some people just will not like you. They may even hate you. Even if you do nothing wrong, they will find reasons or even make up reasons to complain about you and hate you. Being on the receiving end of all this spite and hatred is hard to… Continue reading Imitate Good
Thanking God That My Plans Did Not Work
When I look at my life, I still try to find my own solutions. I am getting better about letting God handle situations in my life. I sometimes still find myself thinking that something looks good enough. God has something better, that I have not even imagined. Five years ago, we were going to sell… Continue reading Thanking God That My Plans Did Not Work

When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You
This morning, I was thinking about the scriptures verses in Daniel. When Daniel's friends were put in the fiery furnace, they did not know what would happen to them. They knew that they were being put to death. Who survives a fiery furnace? Their faith was steadfast and did not waiver. They answered to God,… Continue reading When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You

In Everything, Give Thanks
One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to be thankful during difficult times. I have been trying to focus on the positive things in my life and not the difficulties, because difficulties will consume me. I opened up the bible to 1 Thessalonians this morning. It says to rejoice always. Some… Continue reading In Everything, Give Thanks
A Pure Heart in a Corrupt World
This morning, I am thinking about how Christians have to be good people. We have to be nice, even when others are not nice to us... I have never understood why some people are so mean. Do you have anyone in your life who is mean? Instead of getting mad, I have started praying for… Continue reading A Pure Heart in a Corrupt World
Everyone Can Change
Right now, I am struggling. My mom has stage 4 cancer. She started radiation and a chemo pill last Friday. The prognosis for Glioblastoma is two years at the most with surgery, chemo pills and radiation. One day, I think that I accept it, and I am at peace. The next day, I feel overwhelming… Continue reading Everyone Can Change
Pray Away Nightmares
Halloween is coming up in ten days. My neighbors love Halloween. They have bones and lights and graveyards in their front yards. We do have a few cute decorations up for my kids. I have to admit that Halloween is not my favorite day. It creeps me out. I don’t want to watch scary movies… Continue reading Pray Away Nightmares
