Choosing Faith Each Day, Matthew

Day 14: We Wait

My kids started their first day back to school today. They were all smiles and excited for their new start to the school year. We are going to pick them up soon and go the hospital. Today is my mom's surgery. So far, everything is going fine. Last night, I had a dream. We were… Continue reading Day 14: We Wait

Day 11: Reality Is Setting In

It has been 11 days since my mom was to the hospital by ambulance. She is scheduled for brain surgery on Thursday. I am still processing that she has a brain tumor and what is going happen after surgery. I feel all the emotions. I am not even doing the logistical stuff. My brother is… Continue reading Day 11: Reality Is Setting In

Isaiah, Trusting in God

God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

Last night, I watched the movie, "Breakthrough". Wow, it was an amazing testimony to the power of faith, prayer and God's almighty power. The movie was based on a true story and shows how God continuously works miracles in our lives, even now in 2019. Have you ever had a miracle in your life? I… Continue reading God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

Love and Praise, Psalm

Let Praise Renew Your Spirit

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

Choosing Faith Each Day, Mark, Paul

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

Habakkuk, Trusting in God

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 and Praise, Proverbs

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 Character, Isaiah

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

Jeremiah, Trusting in God

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.
