Refreshing comes from the Lord

Hebrews 13:5 says that the Lord said that He will never leave us nor forsake us.  Jesus will not abandon us to the woes we experience in this world.  Do we believe that today, sometimes we feel tired, alone, without hope.  But this is not true, though we may experience trouble today, God will not leave us in that trouble.  Though we are exhausted today, God will not leave you  in that exhaustion.  God will not leave us in any trial, He will not leave us in any tribulation, He will not leave us in depression, He will not leave us in sickness.  He will not leave us in despair.  He will not leave us in any pit that any circumstance has created for us.  He will not leave us in our current state at all.  His word says it is He who works in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure and He, Who began a good work in us is faithful to complete it until the day of Christ.  Hallelujah!  HE WILL NOT LEAVE US where we are today people.  Weeping may endure for a night but SURELY joy cometh in the morning.  You have to believe that as the people of God EVERYDAY we are being changed and transformed from glory to glory and that means our circumstances are changing everyday.  Our situations are changing everyday.  We are being shaped into the image of Christ more and more everyday and everything around us must respond to that.  Things will be drawn to us because of that, Hallelujah; and Acts 3:19 says that times of REFRESHING come from the presence of the
Lord, Hallelujah!

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

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 think "Is it fair that I should spend mo

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
