Thanking God That My Plans Did Not Work

When I look at my life, I still try to find my own solutions. I am getting better about letting God handle situations in my life. I sometimes still find myself thinking that something looks good enough. God has something better, that I have not even imagined. Five years ago, we were going to sell… Continue reading Thanking God That My Plans Did Not Work

Hebrews, Love and Praise

Exchange Weariness For Joy

Good morning! Yesterday was a gloomy morning, and my mood matched it. I was reading through Hebrews today, and this scripture verse resonated to my heart. When we feel weary and discouraged, think about Jesus. He came as a light to this world, to forgive our sins. Jesus endured hostility from the sinners, he was… Continue reading Exchange Weariness For Joy

Replace Your Weariness With Peace

This morning, I woke up feeling overwhelmed. Do you ever feel that way? I felt like most of the world was against me, and that feels like too much. I prayed that God would take away my burdens and give me rest for my soul. We are always supposed to be happy and cheery, but… Continue reading Replace Your Weariness With Peace

God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

When you truly believe in Jesus, your heart changes. We still live in a world with everyone else, good people, bad people, believers, and unbelievers. I have to remind myself that God created me for a purpose. God considers me worthy.  There will be people in my life that will look down on me. I… Continue reading God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You

This morning, I was thinking about the scriptures verses in Daniel. When Daniel's friends were put in the fiery furnace, they did not know what would happen to them. They knew that they were being put to death. Who survives a fiery furnace? Their faith was steadfast and did not waiver. They answered to God,… Continue reading When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You

Thankful For All The Good Stuff

Thanksgiving is almost here. Two more days. I love Thanksgiving. I love turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and thanking God for all my blessings. Sometimes, it can be tense. You see family members that you only see a few times a year. Some family members know you, and still see you how you were. Even if… Continue reading Thankful For All The Good Stuff

Keep Up The Faith

Today was an emotional day. We met my mom at her doctor's appointment. Her 6 week radiation and chemotherapy treatment will be done on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. Nothing bad happened today. It is just emotionally exhausting. I cannot pretend, that she is the same, as she was three months ago. I try to… Continue reading Keep Up The Faith

In Everything, Give Thanks

One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to be thankful during difficult times. I have been trying to focus on the positive things in my life and not the difficulties, because difficulties will consume me. I opened up the bible to 1 Thessalonians this morning. It says to rejoice always. Some… Continue reading In Everything, Give Thanks
