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
The Lord God Is My Strength
I love my kids so much. I think they are amazing. There are so valuable to me. I get deeply hurt when others do things to make them feel less than what they are. I tell them they are loved. Worthy. Valuable. Worth more than anything that money can buy. Their value is infinite to… Continue reading The Lord God Is My Strength
Love Has Power
The definition of hatred is extreme dislike or disgust. The definition of love is strong affection, warm attachment and devotion. The definition of love has adjectives describing the emotion as 'strong' and 'warm'. The definition of hate is short, hard, and to the point. The bible says, "Hatred stirs up strife". So, when you hate… Continue reading Love Has Power
God’s Goodness Reaches Beyond The Heavens
This past week, my feelings were hurt a few times. Each instance can be classified as insulting. I grew up very sensitive, always crying and getting emotional. Somewhere along the way, I have hardened my heart, so things don't bother me as much. I have dulled my emotions to pain and hurt. Somehow, these hurts… Continue reading God’s Goodness Reaches Beyond The Heavens
When people show you their true nature, don’t get mad. Believe them.
Yesterday, a child in the neighborhood rang the doorbell. It was one of my son's friends. They play together, but not as much recently. I thought he wanted to play, so I told him we were going out and would be home tomorrow. He nodded. He had a handmade flyer in his hand, and asked… Continue reading When people show you their true nature, don’t get mad. Believe them.
God Equips His Faithful Servants
I always write about how its easier to do things with God than on your own. That is because I have spent most of my life trying to do everything on my own. It is hard for me to ask for help. I don't think that I can do it better, but I feel like… Continue reading God Equips His Faithful Servants
Give Cheerfully
I have to admit that I do not always give cheerfully. When I am exhausted, and my kids ask me to do one more thing, I don't always smile and do it. Have you ever been there? You are emotionally drained, and yet others still need you? It is hard to give, when you feel… Continue reading Give Cheerfully
Revere the Power of God
When I see a lightning bolt flash in the sky and hear the rumble of thunder from above, I am reminded of God's almighty power. When I see the beauty of nature in the Grand Canyon, sunsets, oceans, and mountains, I am reminded of God's majesty. When I pray and the Holy Spirit fills me… Continue reading Revere the Power of God
