Stepping out of your comfort zone

I have always lived my life on the safe side of things. Never taking risks, always planning ahead, always thinking ahead, always considering how my actions or words would impact someone else... things like that. I never stepped out of my comfort zone. Never did anything impulsive, and never ever asked for help. I wanted … Continue reading Stepping out of your comfort zone

Do not be a lover of the SELF

I saw this meme today on Pinterest, and it really got to me how the world has been lied to with selfishness like this. Putting yourself first is denying God's Word. Here are some scripture references that speak to the contrary... Philipians 2:3Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant … Continue reading Do not be a lover of the SELF

Worry, you have no place here

The worry is deep in my heart. The gnawing, itching feeling that won't leave me alone. The "what ifs" keep running through my mind. Can I control the outcome of these situations? No. Can I change the circumstances surrounding them? No. It's like an infection, a disease; it grows and becomes more complicated. It finds … Continue reading Worry, you have no place here

What am I missing?

What I thought was gone... is still there. I was awakened this morning (and the last two mornings) very early with that gnawing, unquenchable anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach again. I know exactly what it is... but I thought it was gone. I thought I had prayed it away before Christmas. I … Continue reading What am I missing?

A New Years Improvement

Well, it's 2019. The first day of a new year. I have pondered a lot of things this morning; especially what to blog about. I wondered if I should write about resolutions, and new years reflections... but that almost seems old hat - and bound to get lost in the infinite pool of reflections, resolutions, … Continue reading A New Years Improvement

Finding your purpose in life

I have been feeling down, depressed, and lost lately. I'm not sure what my purpose in life is... I feel like I've been living in a stale-mate, waiting on God to intervene in my circumstances. I've just been going about the same old routine, day after day, never really going anywhere. I feel like there … Continue reading Finding your purpose in life

Feeling a little down at Christmas

I'm feeling a little depressed today. It's Christmas morning, and although I'm not usually the type to "covet" what others have (I'm a pretty content person no matter where I am), I really thought this year, I would have a house to celebrate Christmas in. I actually thought I would have my farmhouse this year. … Continue reading Feeling a little down at Christmas

Seeking the Lord

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ~ Matthew 6:33 What a powerful statement from Jesus. It is short and to the point, but packs so much knowledge, wisdom and direction, that it's almost hard to wrap your head around! It's a direction … Continue reading Seeking the Lord

Does God care about the mint in my cocoa?

It's nice to add a little pizzazz to an everyday drink. A cup of cocoa on a cold day is something to look forward to... but sometimes it's nice to add an extra little treat in there.. like Mint! When we come to God in prayer, does He care about the mint we add in … Continue reading Does God care about the mint in my cocoa?

The importance of hydration

I have never been one to drink a lot of water.  I probably have never drank as much water as I should.  It has to be a conscious effort for me; but it is necessary for life.  To be nourished, for all our bodily functions to run properly... to live!  We need to stay hydrated.  … Continue reading The importance of hydration
