Good morning. It is cold today. It feels like 22 degrees. Even though I was bundled up at the bus stop with fuzzy boots, ear muffs, a scarf and gloves, some of the boys still wore shorts. There is not a guide book on how to dress, but there are standards and 'the norm' for different… Continue reading A Pure Heart

Prescription for a Good Life
Good afternoon. This morning, I went to the women's bible study at my church. I always get tempted to not go. It is like a battle. Every doubt and fear creeps into my head telling me to stay at home.

Let God Write His Laws In Your Heart
Good morning. The kids are back to school after a 4 day weekend. I am sitting here drinking a cup of coffee.

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
