...One way to get a break is to skip the need to fulfill some I can do all things in the kitchen through He who gives me strength mentality. Cooking is not a strength of mine. I am fine with this...
Giving It All, All The Time
..Our world is fast changing folks. There is a decline in morality, and it is staggering. The loss of hope infecting many young hearts and minds is painful. Pride, selfishness, deceit, and greed dictate how lives function. The greater good is lost to personal agenda. Personal agenda, blurred by desire for wants more than needs.
Lost & Found- I ‘feel’ thankful..
Tis the day before Thanksgiving and all through the house the smell of hair dye is fuming, and it could probably kill a mouse.
Five Minute Friday- Praise
When addiction grips
Loved ones, with force
I cannot contend.
I lift a praise to my Savior,
my Redeemer, my friend.
Authentic Truths- ..But Jesus
Who I am on the inside will never be determined by this world.
It is determined by the glory of a God our eyes can't handle, and our minds can't comprehend. A God who loves beyond the limits and boundaries of human love. A God who is completely available, always punctual, and forever reliable.
Authentic Truths-Life As I Know It
The worldly perception of the Christ follower is often opposite of the truth. We hear words like uptight, prude, mousey, and there is always hypocritical thrown in by someone. Believers do not go to church because we are better than or perfect. We go to church because we are broken, humbled, and desire to meet with others who know exactly what that means!
Authentic Truths-Fight to Surrender
Surrendering everything is not exactly the picture we see when using the pants on remark. Typically, we imagine becoming a tough "chick,” shoulders back, maybe our nose even a bit pointed up. We roll back those sleeves, and maybe some even 'spit'! It is like a green light that suddenly flashes and we throw down the gas and go!
Authentic Truths- Beyond the Door
The barrier I struggled to face was not about the abuse, the abuser, or anything really related to those many years of torture. The barrier was one I erected, one I had to be willing to confront and to tear down- one block at a time- it was- “Jesus, why did you leave me?”
Authentic Truths-My Opinion Does Not Matter
So why is it, at some point we revert to acting more like those old people who constantly accused Jesus back in the day, than we do Jesus?
Many things in this world are not of God, this truth is spoken repeatedly in scripture.
Five Minute Friday-Overcoming the Silence
Through not fearing the ‘try’, I have been able to experience the closeness and intimate relationship through prayer that God wants to share with us.
