Serenity
I love the Serenity Prayer. There are so many things in life that we have no control over. Other people's choices & decisions that affect us, the worlds problems we have no way to solve, and even the unexpected things that life throws upon our paths. The unknowns we can never be prepared for, the emotions that overwhelm us, and the times we don't know how to hold on. Our only saving grace is to reach for that peace that Jesus promised us, and trust that He is bigger than any problem or … [Read more...]
When Life Gets “Messy”
Life isn’t perfect and sometimes it just gets “messed” up. Unexpected problems, other people’s choices that affect our lives, as well as our own actions that may not be the smartest decisions, can bring a lot of dirt and grime that needs to be cleaned up before we can move forward to cleanliness again. But messes should never cause us to lose hope, because God does His best work within us when life throws its dust our way. He is the only one who can clean up our untidy lives; … [Read more...]
Faith in the Scary Places
In these past few months the world has suffered so much devastation, so much pain, and so much loss. And just as one catastrophe seems to end, another takes its place. This world has become such a scary place, and we may find ourselves asking "why God, why"... "where are you Lord?"..."how can you let all this continue to happen?" We are scared, exhausted, and fearful; these are human emotions and God doesn't condemn us for our feelings, nor does it mean our Faith is weak. We live in the … [Read more...]
He Makes Us Stronger
I have had a busy and out of "sync" week; totally not normal to my regular schedule. I am a night owl, always have been, it's not unusual for me to be awake until 2-3 am, before I finally fall asleep. The blessing is that since I work from home, I can sleep until 9 or 10, and all is well. But this week I have had to be up very early (for me at least), for I had an early appointment one day and have been helping a friend for a few days, set up for a big event for this weekend. This message … [Read more...]
Silent Whispers
I don't believe God is truly ever silent. The times we don't hear Him are because we aren't ready or willing to accept what He is trying to tell us. Maybe our hearts are broken, maybe we're not ready to see the truth, maybe our Faith is being tested, or maybe we're holding on to something else that is keeping us from hearing Him. God is never silent; He is patient, stands beside us, and continues to gently whisper to us, while He waits for us to open our hearts and hear Him once again❤ … [Read more...]
Restoring Broken Trust
Relationships are built on trust, that firm belief we have in one another that makes us feel safe, bonded, and secure with each other. And just as we need trust in our relationship with God, we also need to be able to trust the people He places within our lives. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and many times that trust can be tested, tried and even broken when we choose to be untruthful, hide something from someone, or choose to walk away from that person who truly needs our … [Read more...]
Find Him in the Lonely Places
I've spent a lot of time alone this past year to re-evaluate my life, myself, my relationships and the next step in God's plan for me. And though it's been a very secluded journey at times, I've come to see the beauty in this gift of time alone with only Him. I've had heart to heart discussions with Him, a lot of quiet to hear His voice, time to reflect on His word, and time to vent my frustrations and struggles. My relationship with Him has grown stronger and I can see, hear and discern His … [Read more...]
Wednesday Calling
A call to comfort. I hope you'll take this opportunity this week to touch a heart that's hurting. Blessings Friends. There are so many people struggling through things we can see and many things that are unknown to us. People hurting, going through loss, living in lonely places, feeling forgotten and unloved. Let's open our eyes wider, listen more intently, and ask God to show us who these people are that we need to offer our compassionate hearts to this week. There's so many ways to offer … [Read more...]
