Peace is a Breath Away

Good Morning! It is a another rainy day here. I am looking outside at the two cute doves sitting on my deck. Whenever I see them, I know that God is watching over my family and me. During uncertain times, the Holy Spirit is a permanent sign of peace. I worry too much, if it… Continue reading Peace is a Breath Away

Love

Next Friday is Valentine's Day. My kids are excited to exchange cards with their classmates and eat cupcakes. It is all cute and fun. I had to look up the history of Valentine's Day. It seems to have involved Christians converting people, miracles of healing, bishops secretly marring couples and executions. I can't make this stuff… Continue reading Love

We Have an Eternal Purpose

Yesterday, I talked to a Grief Counselor at my church. I wanted to check in and make sure my children and I are handling the loss of parents in a healthy way. I have never talked to a counselor before, except when I was at my university looking for an internship. I feel so encouraged.… Continue reading We Have an Eternal Purpose

Hold God’s Promises In Your Heart

This morning, I opened the bible up to Daniel, where he prays that God will help them interrupt the king's dream. It says that God reveals secrets. God knows deep and hidden things.

It focuses my mind on what is really important and  gives me something to think about during the day. This morning, I… Continue reading What is Embedded in Your Heart?

A Pure Heart

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

Blessed Is She Who Believes

Happy Saturday! I hope that you have an amazing weekend. I don't have too many plans. This morning, I saw two doves outside on the deck. I love seeing doves, it is a visual reminder that God is watching over me. Having faith in what you cannot see can be challenging, when you, well, cannot… Continue reading Blessed Is She Who Believes

God Wants Us To Prosper and Bloom

Good Morning! I just returned from an annual doctor's physical check-up. I know it is something that has to be done. It is a baseline for my health. Why do I always want to cancel it? To be healthy, I have to exercise and eat healthy foods. Sometimes, I am really good and other times… Continue reading God Wants Us To Prosper and Bloom
