A little back story… I love the Lord and desparately long to be in His will. Recently, when things didn’t look how I thought they should, I began to question if we were in God’s will or if we made a mistake. I think the better question is: AM I who God wants me to…
Romans 15:4 “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through the endurance taught in the scripture and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. What was written in scruptires isn’t just for us to know. It’s for us to learn about God and to be able…
I think I read somewhere that it’s written in the Bible not to fear 366 times. I’ve never fact checked this myself, so don’t shoot the messenger! Ha! Something hit me recently though. When I worry and fear, I put my faith in everything other than God since He directly instructs us to NOT FEAR…
Have you ever found yourself asking, “God, is that you?” There have been times and situations where I felt something clearly was from God, but it turns out I was just comfortable in my own strength, comfort, and will. It seemed good, but it wasn’t God. It just “made sense” if you know what I…
Have you ever had one of those moments in the early morning where you feel like God wants to tell you something? I experienced that this morning. The baby was up, so I fed him around 4:30am. I had this heavy feeling to NOT go back to sleep right away, like I needed to seek…
This one is a little vulnerable for me to write because it’s an inside look at the thoughts that actually pass through my mind. The mind is powerful, and our thoughts have the ability to guide our lives. This is a genuine topic that I believe ALL wives- especially wives who are young in their…
If I’m being honest, circumstances, stress, and emotions have really gotten to me lately. I talked earlier this week about being an unbelieving “believer.” God has really been dealing with me in this area to help me grow. I opened my Bible this morning for my quiet time and landed in Mark; starting in chapter…
A toxic trait of mine is that I really really struggle with perfectionism. I’m still unpacking why I am this way; I believe it’s from abandonment from my early childhoold years, but I digress. Part of this toxic perfectionism is the fear of failure. Failure feels like the end for me. What happens when I…
It’s easy to trust and believe God when things go as expected. But what about when they DON’T go as you expected? How is your faith when everything around you seems to be going haywire and you’re pressed on all sides? Will you still believe God? I know that I have found my faith lately…
I heard a saying once that when you get upset or angry with your child or baby, look at their tiny hands. In that instant, you are reminded how they really need you. Then, whatever is happening, doesn’t seem so hard and you find the strength to serve them, even when you are at the…
