Day 15: Thanking God For His Mercy

My mom had surgery yesterday. They removed 78% of the tumor from her brain. It went well. We were able to see her last night. She was smiling and talking. She said that she felt so much better and wondered how long she had the tumor. Out of all the possible outcomes, this was a… Continue reading Day 15: Thanking God For His Mercy

Day 13: Life Will Not Be the Same

My mom's surgery is tomorrow. My kids start school again tomorrow. I was distracted today with back to school preparations. I *almost* didn't think about the surgery tomorrow. It is in the back of my mind, lingering. Thoughts about the surgery invade my thoughts, as I try to push the thoughts back again. My kids… Continue reading Day 13: Life Will Not Be the Same

Day 9: God Bestows a Crown of Beauty Instead of Ashes

We have the opportunity to be thankful each day. We can be thankful for another day and more time to spend with family. We can be thankful for the good things that happen to us and the people that make time to see us. Don't worry about what others say or think about you.

God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

Last night, I watched the movie, "Breakthrough". Wow, it was an amazing testimony to the power of faith, prayer and God's almighty power. The movie was based on a true story and shows how God continuously works miracles in our lives, even now in 2019. Have you ever had a miracle in your life? I… Continue reading God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

The Rewards of Prayer Are Better Than Any Fad or Quick Remedy

It is easy to fall out of the habit of reading the bible and praying. We went on a vacation, and now I am trying to get back into a routine. The laundry is piled up. Suitcases are stacked by the door. I believe that reading the bible is more important. I have to start… Continue reading The Rewards of Prayer Are Better Than Any Fad or Quick Remedy

Let Praise Renew Your Spirit

Yesterday and today, I have felt exhausted. Drained. I felt like I have not had the strength to move. What is wrong with me? I have been tired. It was a busy month, and I feel tired emotionally and physically. This was a new thing. I felt like a sack of potatoes, dragging myself from… Continue reading Let Praise Renew Your Spirit

Serve God With All Your Heart, Mind, and Strength

For the past month, we have had family visiting. It was so fun. Now, I am so tired. I prayed for each visit. I prayed that God would bless our time together and give us grace. I tried to be a good hostess, and it is not hard when everyone smiles and says thank you.… Continue reading Serve God With All Your Heart, Mind, and Strength

I was complacent to the Lord, but the Lord did let me stay that way

Do you know any people that call themselves Christians and go to church occasionally on Christmas and Easter? Know any of them? I do. I was one of them. I would say that I was Christian, but I didn't read the bible or go to church very often. I grew up attending Catholic schools and… Continue reading I was complacent to the Lord, but the Lord did let me stay that way
