You are a light

How can you be a light unto the world if you seclude yourself from it and people? So what if someone's posts something that you don't agree with or is critical (please stop regulating your Facebook). Also, do what if people or family are alcoholics, have differing view points, use angry words, made mistakes, or whatever the case. How will the world ever see light, hope and love if the ones who believe He loved us first so we can love, shut them out!? How can you minister to the hurting if you pick up an offense. Maybe your judging them for the very same thing that's missing in you... The lack of awareness of the depths of His love and mercy! Walk a mile in His shoes... It will carry you throughout the world

Sky Full of Stars

Thinking of the promise given to Abram... Imagine looking at all those stars... Almost 100 years old, feeling the weight of age, youth and vitality stripped from your body... The glaring awareness of impossibility... The screeching in your ears of time past by... The seeds that had been building yet never planted and now regret and disappointment has replaced the seeds that once held the hope life...you remind your creator how you're childless and there is no heir to your estate as your time is drawing near...and Now picture the sky full of those stars and never being able to count them all and God assuring you that your offspring will be as numerous as there are stars...  The bible says Abram believed Him!  Wow! Just like that, despite the reality that had been staring him in the face, the harsh circumstance he was in... Abraham just believed Him.  The story continues... Abram asks "how will I know this will happen"?  God makes a covenant with him. Yea...

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...

How do you do it?

Many people ask me "How do you do it?" "I don't know" is usually my first answer followed by "one day at a time". Honestly, when it comes to raising my children,  I do know that it was put on my heart to have each of them and I love each of them very much. But yes there are many days I raise the question myself and have wondered if I'm just plain crazy. Believe me,  I am not a supermom, nor do I ever pretend to be. I have so many downfalls and weaknesses. I don't get everything done everyday. My list of what I'd like to do is always longer than what actually gets done. NO, I do not have a lot of patience (as everyone seems to think I must), quite the contrary! I think it is one of the hardest things to learn and get self control and believe me, I daily feel like I'm failing at it. I need to remind myself of   2 Corinthians 12:9  "My grace is sufficient for you, but my power is made perfect in weakness".   Thank God for...
