Uncomfortable with good results

Relying on the Lord does not feel good. Trusting God on a daily basis is very uncomfortable. As a stay-at-home mom to 2 young children. My day can go in a variety of directions. I really never know how it's gonna go and I never know how far spent I'm going to be come 3pm. But what I do know; is if I commit my day to the Lord and ask Him to order my steps, I have the victory. I know when I do this, know matter what else happens during the day, at the end of the day I will know for a fact that I gave my family what they needed from me that day. I don't have to question this because God ordered my steps. Did you know He is the God of all flesh. I may not be able to get my flesh in check but God can whip up on my flesh and keep me in order Everyday we wake up with a space on the inside of us that longs for God to step in. Some of us fill that space up with other things, we depend on other things to get us started in the right direction for the day or we start our day with no direction at all. See, everyday I wake up I need to be going somewhere with my life, see I'm a sojourner, a pilgrim here on this earth. That's how I'm to live on a daily basis. But only God knows where I should be going on a daily basis on this journey, so I have to seek Him. He has a place for me to go today with Him. Get out and go to a place that God wants to show you. He wants to show you, He desires to lead you, let Him Genesis 12:1.

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy. It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows. And some desperate times. It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it. But marriage is worth fighting for. You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok. It's ok to not be ok. It's ok to not be ok with your marriage. It's ok to not be ok with your life. Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over. Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over. In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude. God has seen me in my struggle. Struggling with my emotions. Struggling with my desires. Struggling to stay faithful. He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this". He didn't look at me ans say "I...

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. ...

No more feeling trapped

When I first started being a full-time homemaker, it became a snare to me. I was very hard on myself and put alot of expectations on myself that were not from God. My husband would get up early in the morning and go to work and I always felt like I couldn't sleep late. Not that I got up with him but I remember feeling guilty if I slept past like 9:00am. Honestly, I felt guilty doing alot of things. Things that if I could of done freely, I would probably be a lot further then I am now in my writing and other giftings that God has given me. I spent 2 days a week at home cleaning. The other 3 days, I struggled. When I would go to the bookstore to read, I felt guilty. I would think "Is it fair that I get to relax at the bookstore while my husband out working to provide for us?". Sometimes I would want to go to the Amish market and eat breakfast. They had a restaurant in the Amish market with great breakfast. I would ...
