During this season of my life, I'm going deeper in God. The promises of God show me how much God loves me and how trustworthy He is, and it's helping me. I'm so encouraged in this place because there is such a confidence that can come to us when we know how much we are loved and taken care of by our Father. There’s a contentment for our souls when we know that whatever life may bring, God is good. He's going to guide us to a good place. We can rest in the truth about our God. Jesu[...]
I was looking up scriptures today about not limiting God. In our home buying journey, I thought I was going to use the scriptures to help me continue to have an open mind on the limitless possibilities of God. Sometimes we are expecting Him to move a certain way, but we are actually limiting Him by our narrow minds and smaller view of life. God is limitless, uncontrolled by time, and can do the impossible. He created everything! Instead I ran into a blog post by Andrew Womack. The post talke[...]
I was at the store the other day and I was waiting for someone to come and help us in the section we were in. We were dependent on a sales person because our needs could not be met without their skills. It was me and another couple waiting for someone for what felt like 35-40 minutes. After multiple attempts to reach out to sales people passing by, no one was able to help us. No one was available to be used. They either knew nothing about the section we were in or they didn't have the appropria[...]
I’m in the midst of a new season right now, as I begin my 3rd week at my new job. As someone who has experienced a large amount of change in a condensed amount of time, I’m coming to the place where I’m realizing I can enjoy each season of my life. I wasn’t always like that, because I used to get caught up in focusing on the things I didn't understand about each new season. Sometimes the big things in our lives are unclear, but I was reminded today while talking with someone that I shou[...]
I've seen lots of posts about the holidays being a busy time, and truthfully the holidays can be a very taxing time for people. From thinking about what gifts to buy, holiday dinners, and for some the burdens of family drama. Today I wanted to talk about some ways I've found that help me maintain my peace and joy in life. I won't say I've arrived at perfection because these are all things I have to continually practice. I'm more than happy to keep allowing the Holy Spirit to help me grow in the[...]
Today's reference scripture comes from the story of David and Goliath 1 Samuel 17:34-51. I will be talking about taking our faith to the next level by remembering what God has already done! Over the last couple weeks I had been tempted with distraction. I was tempted because I was picking up cares of the world. I was trying to find balance between trusting God and walking by faith without taking it into my own hands. But in the end I still found myself weighed down, slower, and heavier. Wha[...]
We all have those moments where we feel like “OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT IS GOING ON?!” Then soon after that acknowledgement stage that issue might become so big in our minds that we have no idea what to do or how to fix it. Some of us might even dwell on it longer than we should, which then turns into stress and feeling overwhelmed, and “OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD!” (for some of us who leaned toward the dramatic side). Shockingly, science has proven that stressors actually h[...]
