My daughter woke up this morning not feeling well with a fever. At first, I wasn't sure if she was just tired and wanted to stay home and put up Christmas decorations. I looked at her little face, and she looked sick. I called and cancelled today's appointments. I think God would treat each of… Continue reading Seek, So You Don’t Slip
God Loves Each and Every One of Us
I went to the womens' bible study this morning. It starts off with singing. Two women lead the singing worship, and they sing so beautifully, I cannot help but cry a little each time. I can feel the Holy Spirit in there, filling each of us with grace. Its a time to let go of… Continue reading God Loves Each and Every One of Us
Don’t Waste Time Worrying
Last night, I went to bed early at 9 PM. I woke up at 1 AM, with a sore throat and stuffy nose. As I tried to go back to sleep, I started worrying. Will I be too sick to make Thanksgiving dinner? I have to go grocery shopping, what if all the potatoes are… Continue reading Don’t Waste Time Worrying
Fill the Void
Thanksgiving is next week. I am so thankful for my life, family and that I am growing closer to the Lord. I try and start my day reading the bible, and it makes such a difference in my daily life. When I don't read the bible, things people say will bother me or upset me.… Continue reading Fill the Void
A Rich Life
This morning, my son said, "Mom, remember at the old house, there were stray cats?" He was only 4 years old when we lived at our previous house. I stopped, and I did remember. It was such an innocent comment, yet it reminded me how far God has brought us in 4 years. At the… Continue reading A Rich Life
Only One Standard Matters
Do you ever look at other Christians and think wow, they are so perfect, how could I be like that? Or, on the other side, do you look at other Christians and think wow, I can't believe all the things wrong with them, how can they call themselves Christians? I am probably in the latter… Continue reading Only One Standard Matters
Lift Me Out of This Slimy Pit
I went to bed too late last night, and I woke up to a rainy, cold morning. I woke my kids up, helped them get ready and walked them to the bus stop. I don't know if it was the chilly damp morning or not enough sleep, but I felt like crawling back into bed… Continue reading Lift Me Out of This Slimy Pit
Trusting God with the Outcome
Have you ever wondered what work you are called to do? I often wonder if I am listening to the Lord and doing his work or trying to do my own thing. When I am listening to the Lord, I have to slow down, pray and wait and move forward taking steps, not sure where… Continue reading Trusting God with the Outcome
Pray Your Worries Away
I have been reading the bible each morning. It so easy to find an excuse not to read the bible or not to exercise, and I am guilty on both counts. After I battle all the excuses, and exercise, I feel great for the rest of the day. I have more energy and a positive… Continue reading Pray Your Worries Away
Not Qualified, Yet Still Chosen
I have been reading about Saul and his conversion over the past few days. I have been wondering why God calls such unqualified people to serve him. "God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong". You may feel unqualified… Continue reading Not Qualified, Yet Still Chosen
