Sometimes, I just want God to fix the things that I think are broken in my life. I am not looking at it the right way. I need to surrender to the Lord and praise everything that he does in my life, even if its not what I thought I wanted. The Lord can answer… Continue reading God Knows Our Hearts
Look For Praiseworthy Moments
The book of Philippians is full of wonderful advice on how to behave as a Christian. I really love to read all of Paul's books in the bible. Each one is eye opening for me. We read the passage, "Mediate on These Things", last week at the women's bible study. Instead, of 'brethren', we said… Continue reading Look For Praiseworthy Moments
Only Let Your Conduct Be Worthy Of The Gospel Of Christ
Sometimes, people are not always nice. It makes me feel sad, frustrated and even angry at times. Paul tells us some hard truths about how we should behave. I want to pass over them, but I really need to hear them. Once we believe in Jesus, we can no longer walk as other unbelievers walk.… Continue reading Only Let Your Conduct Be Worthy Of The Gospel Of Christ
You Can Be Filled With The Fullness Of God
Do you ever feel anxious or worried? Lately, I feel very anxious and worried. If I dwell on what is going on around me, I will be a nervous wreck.

God Will Bring Glory Through Suffering
On the drive home from seeing my mom, I was thinking about where I was five years ago. Five years ago, my husband was laid off from his job. I was working from home part-time. My kids were 2 and 4 years old. We had just taken our house off the market, because it didn't… Continue reading God Will Bring Glory Through Suffering
My Faith Must Be Bigger Than My Fear
This morning, I attended the women's bible study at my church. We read through the book of Philippians. The book was written by Paul, while he was in prison. Paul was converted by God. It was a complete and utter transformation from murdering Christians to sharing the gospel. His letters are books in the bible.… Continue reading My Faith Must Be Bigger Than My Fear
There Is No Need For An Explanation
Yesterday at church, we read Chapter 3 in the book of Daniel. Our pastor did a great job explaining it. Its an amazing story. Daniel's friends get thrown in a fiery furnace and come out unharmed. Not one hair of their heads was singed. It was a miracle. I was fascinated with their attitudes before… Continue reading There Is No Need For An Explanation
God Knows What Lies In The Darkness
Have you ever looked at your life and just felt overwhelmed? I feel that way today. I spent the morning trying to find a solution, trying to will myself out of my problems. It didn't work. It just made me feel, well, overwhelmed. Instead, I should have been praying to God. I should have gone… Continue reading God Knows What Lies In The Darkness
Do not be deceived. Trust in God.
Have you ever met somebody who does not tell the truth? Or, perhaps stretches the truth at times to make a better story? If you are like most people, you have met someone who deceives with empty words. It may seem harmless to talk to these people, spend time with them and be friends. God… Continue reading Do not be deceived. Trust in God.
Anger, Prayer and Fasting
Yesterday, I wrote a blog post 'Let God Plead Your Case and Take Vengeance For You'. Did I do that? No. I got angry. This morning in our bible study group, we read through the book of Ephesians. One of the passages that spoke to me was about anger. The bible says to be angry.… Continue reading Anger, Prayer and Fasting
