Look For God’s Goodness

A few minutes before my alarm went off, I woke up to a phone call saying schools are closed today due to icy rain and slippery road conditions. It was a perfect day to snuggle up on the couch and watch the Grinch Who Stole Christmas movie. I am a fan of the original, however… Continue reading Look For God’s Goodness

Keep Believing and Have Faith

This morning, I went to Trader Joe's in Ashburn, VA. I saw a box of ornament cookies with icing and sprinkles to decorate them. We used to make cut-out cookies with my mom every year. This year, she just finished 6 weeks of radiation and chemo pills for Stage 4 Glioblastoma, and she is at… Continue reading Keep Believing and Have 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. I considered myself a Christian my whole life, but realized over the past four years, that I have so much to learn. Daniel had so much faith, he survived the lion's den and his friends survived… Continue reading What Can Anyone Do To Me, When God Is With Me?

Turn Them From Darkness to Light

Lately, I have seen Kanye West in the news for being a Christian. The number 1 song is "Jesus is Lord". I am not up on the latest trends, but I can get behind this one. How many people are seeing the song's name declaring Jesus is Lord? Wow, that is amazing! Every song on… Continue reading Turn Them From Darkness to Light

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. God had a different plan for us. The party was canceled because of the weather forecast. It is… Continue reading Letting Go: No More Back-up Options for my Back-up Option

God Can Be Glorified Through You

I am always amazed that God will take us where we are at right now. Would you make friends with someone that was always talking badly about you and trying to hurt you? Nooo, I would stay far away from that person. God's ways are not like our ways. God's ways are good and perfect.… Continue reading God Can Be Glorified Through You

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
