When God is silent, He is watching. Remember, He never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He sees you and hears you. He’s just up to something that you don’t quite know or understand. However, as you continue trusting Him and aiming to please Him, believe that it’s all going to work out for your good in the end (Romans 8:28). Really believe it with everything within you! Furthermore, when you feel like He’s not there, grab tightly to His word when He says that He [...]
Too busy to spend time with your kids or hubby? Too busy to clean your house? Too busy to carve a day out of your month to have lunch with a friend? Too busy to call your mom or dad to see how they are doing? Too busy to take a personal day for yourself or plan a weekend get-a-way to get refreshed? Too busy to pray or spend time in God’s word? Too busy to do what you KNOW God has called you to [...]
Have you ever been in a depressed state? Are you there now? In either case, I pray that today’s post helps shed some light in this dark place. I hope I didn’t offend you by saying “this dark place,” because that’s exactly what it is my sister. Depression is a place of despair, hopelessness, deep sadness, and heaviness. But it can be demolished, if you have the right tools to fight it! Listen. When you find yourself in a state of depression, you can overcome [...]
Have you ever had to face a task that you felt was so BIG that you felt overwhelmed just thinking about it? Are you there now? If so, I totally know what that feels like. Yet, I also know that unless you settle down and get busy on it, it simply won’t get done. When I am asked to do something that I know is according to God’s will, I feel obligated to get it done! I wake up thinking about it. And I tend [...]
This can be a tough one, any way you look at it. Mainly, because being corrected is not usually easy to handle. And giving it, can be even more uncomfortable (for some). However, in order to grow and become more mature in Christ, we must be corrected while also being able to correct someone else if necessary for their spiritual health. So in this week’s post, I’m going to be writing about how to give and take correction. Ready? Okay… The Bible tells us that [...]
We all want to hear those beautiful words someday from Jesus! I know that I do. But in order to hear those awesome words, we have to know what it requires of us. I’ll tell you, for most of us, it will take more than just reciting “The Sinner’s Prayer.” Meaning, once we get saved, that’s only the beginning. We still have work to do. Now, I’m not talking about working for salvation, because we know that it is a free gift and none of [...]
Words are pretty powerful. They can either be hurtful or helpful. Ephesians 4:29 says, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." (NIV) Let you words be beneficial and impactful. And Proverbs 12:18 tells us, “Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.” (NLT) So let’s be wise women, consider our words before they cut others, and [...]
Do you know what you’re supposed to be doing in this season of your life? My next question is, “Are you doing it?” Or are you wandering around in your mind, lost, dreaming, and unfocused? When we are unfocused, that’s usually when we begin to lose sight of what’s most important or even the task at hand. It also allows room for the enemy, Satan to play mind games on us. Time is running out. Jesus is coming back soon! That’s why it’s time for [...]
Have you ever found yourself in a place where you were whispering to another person about someone or something you heard that shouldn’t have been repeated? If so, NEWSLFLASH! That’s GOSSIP. I know that can be a hard confession, but it’s good to know that about yourself, so you can overcome it. I also need to mention here that gossip can destroy the best of friends, ruin your reputation, and stain your character. It’s true! It’s like a cancer that spreads rapidly and hurts people [...]
I know sometimes this is not an easy thing to do, but it’s so necessary for the season you’re in. You have to know that God is for you and with you. He will never fail you. He can be trusted as He puts all the pieces together in your life. Your only job right now is to keep trusting Him. I have a piece of word art on my desk that reads, “The key to success is following God’s guidance.” What this means is [...]
