A New Mommy...Again

I am a new mommy again. My first daughter, in a house full of boys, is two weeks old. I am  so in love. She has totally captured my heart and I'm excited for all that I will be able to pour into her about her identity as a daughter of the King of Kings as she grows. I am looking forward to all those moments a woman thinks of doing with her daughter: painting nails, doing her hair, a friend to go shopping with... but also the moments that are much further down the road, like being a big part of her wedding day, being the one she'll call when she needs advice, and having a chance to be at her side when she is having a baby. Daughters are very different from sons. But for now, I am just enjoying these precious fleeting moments. I learned early on, in being a mother, to never wish away your child's life with " I can't wait fors" because each stage comes and goes so quickly. Enjoy the moment of here and now, no matter what stage. I personally am enjoying this fresh newborn stage as it is also the last time I will experience it. I am savoring it even more.

70+ Promises/Scriptures to declare, speak over yourself and pray.

There are over 3,000 promises in the bible God has declared for us. So much about who we are and what He has for us can be found there. I've been through so many trials over a number of years,  and without learning about who He says I am and what some of His plans are for me, I may not have made it so far and still have a positive view. Even though storms may be around still, I have to train my mind to be obedient to truth. Here are some scriptual declarations that I pray over myself, and pray for others, or speak out loud as soon as I have a thought or feeling that is negative or the opposite. I encourage you to seek them out in the bible as well. I am a child of God. He is for me, who can be against me? He ,who is in me, is greater than he who is in the world. I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath I am a saint, not a sinner. I am righteous by faith. I am seated in heavenly places. He lifts me up out of the miry clay and sets me upon His rock. H...

The Father Delights In You

Do you know how pleased the Father is with you? He delights in you. You cannot earn his love and affection! Zephaniah 3:17 says the Lord your God is with you he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing! Take peace of mind today that you are deeply loved, unconditionally and that the father dotes on you, that you have captured his heart and he smiles when he thinks of you❤️. It does not matter anymore if you did not have an earthly father who loved you, doted on you, and took great delight in you. If you struggle to find acceptance in your relationships, if you feel like you have to constantly "do" in order to please people and earn their love and affection, if people have abandoned you,mistreated you, etc. Grab hold of the truth that you cannot be any more loved than you already are, you are more than accepted... you are affirmed as his daughter in whom he delights so much that it causes hi...

Are you lukewarm? Do you trust in Him?

I think how much you trust Him is related to wether you're a "lukewarm" believer. I was thinking the other day of the "Oceans" song by Hillsong. I remember when  I first heard it, the day I was burying miscarried twins. A verse in the song sings,  " Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders Let me walk upon the waters Wherever You would call me Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander And my faith will be made stronger In the presence of my Savior".  It was definitely a time of my trust being stretched way beyond. Life has thrown some more curveballs and I'm finding I need to speak out loud that I trust Him. My mind could easily go to the worries and fears and play a movie in my head of the worst happening. Then I'll find myself depressed,immobile, and stressed. That doesn't help and I've learned that over the years so now when I start going there I speak out His word and glorify Him and put my trust in Him...
