Press on !!!
I wrote this post a long time ago on another blog I had, however, this is something I have to remind myself to do regularly. PRESS ON !!! Have you really thought about what it means to press on? It means to move forward despite the fact that you feel like quitting. Through every obstacle…

Sometimes …
Sometimes, the pressure is too much to bear. Sometimes, the pain is too great. Yet, it’s in that time when we can’t move another inch, God shows it’s in His strength that we go on. When we bow, we bow in prayer, not to the adversity. We run to face adversity and not curl up…

Happy Thanksgiving (even though it’s late)
I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. However, due to issues beyond my control here, things did not go as planned, but here is my late Happy Thanksgiving. Can you imagine what would happen if we all had a spirit of gratitude? I think the results would be simply amazing. Habakkuk 3:17-19 (ESV)…

The stolen voice
Discernment is so, so very important, especially in these last days. I find it amazing, and I don’t think in a good way, at how subtle the enemy works his way into our lives to steal, kill, and destroy. To steal not only our material wealth but our physical health, our hopes and dreams, and…

Staying focused
Good morning, everybody It is so hard to stay focused when there are so many storms surrounding us. The winds are blowing, and the rain is pelting us from every direction. And we find ourselves putting out small fires instead of staying focused on the task at hand. If we are not careful, we will…

When the key becomes a weight
When I got my first car, I was in my mid-twenties. I didn’t understand how the key turned in an ignition made the car start, I just knew it did. And then I had my keychain, and with this keychain, I soon had more keys to add to it. The more keys I had, the…

Supernatural “REST”
How many of us go to bed, and we toss and turn, and we claim we are resting? Or we claim we are getting rest by sitting on the couch and watching a movie or videos? Yet, when we wake up from a night of “resting” or “resting” in front of the television or starring…

Focus on today
So just for today, focus on just today. Not yesterday, because that is already in the past, and we can not go back and change anything. Don’t focus on tomorrow. It is not here yet, and you may think you know what tomorrow holds, but the truth is, you don’t know, and everything has a…

The Choice
Joshua 1:8 (ESV) “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.“ Psalms…

Happiness or the lack thereof
Too many people are trying to make their flesh happy and are willing to throw their life away for it. Sure we have made a mess of things just trying to make ourselves happy but what happens when we try to make amends for it. Most of time we want what we can’t have and…

Pride
Good morning, everybody As I was sitting here in my favorite spot, enjoying this cool temperature of fall, a thought hit me. There are some things that are just not meant for others to see. In this day and time, everybody has a camera, pretty much. So, it is not uncommon for someone to be…

Truly the forgotten
As I sit here in the safety of my home, I think back to the times that I haven’t always been in a place of safety. And we take so many things for granted. We live now in threat of constant turmoil locally and globally. So, it’s easy to focus on everything going on in…

Things we don’t see
One of my favorite things is being outside and watching the clouds or looking at the stars at night. But I really love photography, so when I get to take pictures of the night sky and clouds, I get super excited. When you take pictures at night the camera draws in light from all the…

Purpose
As I sit here in the silence of the morning, I think back to when my children were small. It was always something going on. In fact, there was never a dull moment. Looking back, those times were hilarious. However, at the moment, they made me feel like pulling my hair out. What we don’t…

Beauty comes
Today, I was looking at the mess the chickens had made, and I saw a beautiful butterfly. God is moving in the lives of His people. And He is calling people to come up out of the chaos.

Christmas in September
Good Morning Everybody !!! It is such a wonderful day. I just want to share some wonderful news. It is so good it feels like Christmas in September. One of my favorite things is to sit on the couch (sofa) and read in the mornings and have coffee. I sit in the silence (try to)…

A question
Recently, I encountered someone who made me shake my head because of their stubbornness, and the problem is I am beginning to think it is not because they are stubborn but maybe just blinded by a religious spirit. The problem was they don’t really read the Bible, and they believe it is so full of…

Its Sunday
Goodness, it has been a rough few weeks. When our loved ones pass on into eternity, it is never an easy thing. It doesn’t matter how much we can give ourselves pep talks and tell ourselves we are ready. We are prepared. In reality, no, we are not. There is that thing called grief. And…

The changing of seasons
I am sitting here at my table watching leaves fall, just thinking. It has been a sad couple of weeks. My ex-father in law had passed away the other day after suffering a massive stroke. Even though that in itself is bad, yet good, because I know that he is with his family on the…

???
I used to live my life being tormented by things I could and could not see. I was tormented by fear and paranoia. My life was a living hell, and I think that is an understatement. I felt powerless up against the things that came at me. I used to think my only solution was…

Nobody Knows Me
I used to get upset because I felt like nobody knows me, nor do they really care to know me. I felt like nobody really knows what makes me do the things I do. I felt like nobody understood me at all. I am just a speck out here in this vast universe and I…

Dare to Dream
When I was a little girl my mom and dad took me with them to see a well-known evangelist. As I was sitting there watching the singers under the bright lights of the stage, I was amazed at the beautiful dresses they were wearing. I had never seen anything so beautiful. I had stated with…

Lessons from my dad
I have learned a lot of different lessons from my dad through the years. But one of the greatest lessons I learned from my dad is persistence. In life, things can be complicated, and if we don’t learn the lesson of persistence, it is easy to skim over things in search of an easier answer. My…

But I really want the prize
I had posted this previously but I feel like we (me) could use a reminder of this very thing. Sam has been sick for a few days, and he missed school. During his absence, he missed the deadline to turn in a paper for a library challenge. It was during a conversation that we had…

Dignity and self-respect
In this life we all have decisions to make, regardless, of what the decisions are or who we are. I also have a firm belief that everybody has the right to be treated with dignity, no matter the circumstances. I have sat back and watched, more and more people are being treated less than human…
