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
My Tool Kit: Faith, Bible, Prayers
Do you ever pray and wonder if or when God will answer your prayers? I used to almost give myself a panic attack trying to figure out if God would answer my prayer and if so, when.

Day 26: My Advice Comes From The Lord
Have you ever met someone who feels obligated to tell you what do? I don't mean a teacher or doctor that is instructing you. I mean someone who looks at you and sums you up as someone that needs to hear her advice now. Unsolicited. Everyone loves that, right? It can be irritating, but you… Continue reading Day 26: My Advice Comes From The Lord
Day 25: Change Your Outlook
Have you ever heard that expression "Fake it, until you make it"? I think sometimes you have to change your mind-set to be successful. You have to honest and truthful with yourself. You have to believe in yourself. And, if you don't, you have to act like it, until you do. Most times this works.… Continue reading Day 25: Change Your Outlook
Day 22: God Makes Us Strong
Yesterday, I went see my mom in the hospital. It took 3 hours to get there again. By the time we got there, I was not cheery and enthusiastic, like I should have been. I am accepting my mom's diagnosis. She is not the same, but she still remembers all of us. Do you ever… Continue reading Day 22: God Makes Us Strong
