Replace Your Weariness With Peace

This morning, I woke up feeling overwhelmed. Do you ever feel that way? I felt like most of the world was against me, and that feels like too much. I prayed that God would take away my burdens and give me rest for my soul. We are always supposed to be happy and cheery, but… Continue reading Replace Your Weariness With Peace

Power Through Jesus

We have power through Jesus Christ. I have been trying to wrap my head around this idea for awhile now. Whatever thing we are going through, God can give us the power to endure it. If we want to change ourselves, God can break the chains that hold us down. In the bible, Paul prays… Continue reading Power Through Jesus

God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

When you truly believe in Jesus, your heart changes. We still live in a world with everyone else, good people, bad people, believers, and unbelievers. I have to remind myself that God created me for a purpose. God considers me worthy.  There will be people in my life that will look down on me. I… Continue reading God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

God Fights For Us

I hope that all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. I hope that everyone reading this today has many reasons to be thankful. Over the past year, I have been getting closer to God. The closer I get to God, the more thankful I am that God is so, so good. Everything good… Continue reading God Fights For Us

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

Thankful For All The Good Stuff

Thanksgiving is almost here. Two more days. I love Thanksgiving. I love turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and thanking God for all my blessings. Sometimes, it can be tense. You see family members that you only see a few times a year. Some family members know you, and still see you how you were. Even if… Continue reading Thankful For All The Good Stuff

Keep Up The Faith

Today was an emotional day. We met my mom at her doctor's appointment. Her 6 week radiation and chemotherapy treatment will be done on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. 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

Joel

Turn To God With All Your Heart

Today is the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I thought it was timely that our Pastor read through the book of Joel. God wants our hearts, God wants us to turn to him with everything that we have inside of us. Do you ever feel bad after you make a mistake? I do. I feel guilty. I… Continue reading Turn To God With All Your Heart

God's Character, Matthew

I can be a hypocrite.

Some days, I wish that I was a better Christian. I know that God loves me right where I am at, but I wish that I was free from sin. I would love to be worthy of God everyday. I am not. I am so thankful that God loves me anyway. Do you ever judge… Continue reading I can be a hypocrite.

I am thankful for a home and employment. I am thankful for my family and God. I… Continue reading Thankful For God’s Goodness
