Do you believe this? I mean, the Bible says it, and I do believe the Bible. But, truth be told, I’m struggling to convince myself these days that it’s true. Here’s the deal. I’ve been crazy-train working my tail off. Little potential TMI transparency here... With no pay. It actually costs me money, that I question I should be spending, to house my email list and send my weekly devotional. I LOVE what I do, but I sacrifice my family, friends, husband, housework, and loads of other serving ... VIEW POST
God Wants to Give You So Much More.
God is Always at Your Side. Let Him Help You.
Weak. It’s what I feel today. Ok… a lot of days. But don’t feel sorry for me. I’m not alone. Most of us battle with our limitations to grind out the spiderweb of a day ahead. You? There’s bottomless mouths to feed, carpools to run, schedules to untangle and iron out… and people waiting for a “yes” to their request. And how about your fatigued frame that can’t fathom taking the jog, working in 10,000 steps around the house of chores calling your name, or just plain getting ... VIEW POST
As Long as You’re Holding God’s Hand, You Will Not Fall.
Do you fear falling? Maybe not literally hitting the ground with a painful punch, but how about crumbling to failure? Think about it... What are you trying to accomplish, work out, or work through with your mental or physical energy these days? And do you ever feel slightly anxious near the edge of a flop or downfall with your latest undertaking, redo of a mission, or attempt at a task? I get this unsettling stirring in my bones sometimes. And get tripped-up by fear of failure, rejection, ... VIEW POST
Having a Pity Party? You Can Find Peace in Your Everyday Yuck.
I have heard the song a hundred times. I’ve sang it just as many. And it’s not the first time I was overcome by emotion... But, yesterday was different. My voice began to crack when the words came out of my mouth... “Holy Spirit You are welcome here…” And by the time I got to, “...what our hearts long for… To be overcome by Your Presence Lord,” I was full on choked up to my eyeballs as I fought the tears from pouring over my lower lids. As I’ve grown in my walk in faith, it now happens this ... VIEW POST
Stop Judging. Thank God, it Takes All Kinds.
(Audio version also available here.) I sort of don’t get it… What’s the deal with all the judgement? You know almost without thinking about it who these people are in your life. You feel their judgement of you in their presence, and you hear them always gossiping about others. It’s like, that’s just what they do. And they can hardly help it. Like it’s a hobby, I guess? But it really is baffling… So many go around constantly sharing their judging opinions as if they seriously expect ... VIEW POST
What’s Your Struggle? That Thing That Drove Me Crazy, Led Me to My Purpose.
(Audio Version Also Available Here.) What is it that drives you crazy about yourself? I don’t mean your hair that, viola, became dull and thin after baby number two, or the thickening waistline that may or may not have something to do with your struggle with late night snacks or simply making it “over the hill.” I’m talking about something different. What is it that drives you crazy about the inside? Is it the way you get angry with your kids and yell in frustration over just about ... VIEW POST
