After we had children, I really wanted to teach them things that I did not know growing up. I want their lives to easier. I don't want them to make the mistakes that I made.

Soldiers of Faith
God asks us to do hard things. We have to let go of ourselves, and do God's will. We have to put away our pride and desire to control our lives. I don't know about you, but that is hard for me sometimes. Hopefully, if I keep practicing, it will get easier? Maybe? We have… Continue reading Soldiers of Faith
What Can Anyone Do To Me, When God Is With Me?
I have been reading the bible for a few years now, and recently I have been reading it everyday.

Letting Go: No More Back-up Options for my Back-up Option
Boo! Today is Halloween! My kids go trick or treating every year. This year we planned to do something new. We planned to go to a Harvest Party at our church with rides, games and bouncy houses.

The Lord Knows Those Who Are His
Some days the kindness of God overwhelms me. Puzzle pieces start connecting together in my head, revealing a tiny part of God's plan, and I feel overwhelmed by the goodness of God.

Replace Fear With Power, Love and a Sound Mind
In this morning's bible study, the leader asked if any of us had fear. Many of us raised our hands. It was interesting that we read about fear two days before Halloween. I didn't think about Halloween at all, as we read the scripture verses on fear. There are plenty of ways to be afraid… Continue reading Replace Fear With Power, Love and a Sound Mind
