Look at the cross and LIVE!

My heart is so full today. My heart is full with the love of God and the awesome power of the cross. Praise God! I'm just so thankful that I wake up to a God who wants me just as I am. A God who appreciates who I am in a way that nobody else can, because He made me for Himself. He did not make me for anybody else, not my mother, not my father, not my husband, not my children. No, God made me for Himself. I belong to Him. He is the one Who takes care of me. He made me to need Him. There is a place on the inside of every human being that longs for God. He put that place there on the inside of us. This is the place where our true identity dwells. He did that because He is jealous for us and wants us to always be His. In the Book of Isaiah God says "Everyone who is called by my name Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him". Hallelujah! I was created for the glory of God and He has made it very clear that He has created me, He has formed me, and yes He has made me. I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Hallelujah! I'm not conceited! No, I'm not prideful. I just believe that God's work is good!

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. A thou

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you? I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now. I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well. Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have. There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you. It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you. God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence. There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard: Our hearts and our mouths. We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths. Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The dirty truth about discipline

I got up this morning, went through the 2 hour process of getting my kids ready for school. Once they were at school I came back home and decided I was going to read my bible, reflect on some things, and write some things down in my planner. Well guess what????? A wave of drowsiness washed over me.....................I had coffee in my hand and I still got so sleepy. So sleepy that I absolutely had to allow myself to drift off into a slumber. I had scheduled a workout at my favorite workout spot, Orange Theory. But I was so sleepy that I was tempted to cancel. Thanks to Orange Theory you can't cancel, the same day, via their app. You have to call and even then you might lose your class that you paid for. They normally have a waiting list for classes. With that said I forced my butt up and into action to get to my class. I'm so thankful to Orange Theory and the way they promote accountability, especially during this special time in my life. See God has me focused
