Keeping it simple, believing God simply!

As human beings we make life so complicated. We make everything about life complicated. That's why it pleased God to save us through the simplicity of the cross and Christ crucified. To some the fact that we can just believe on Jesus Christ and get saved, is foolishness. The bible says the foolishness of the cross pleased God. Why?? What can this tell us about how God wants us to operate on a daily basis. Well, lets see..............He speaks about having the faith of a child in the gospels. He says in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must receive it as a little child. What does that tell you??? Hmm-mmm, children are not worried about keeping a bunch of laws. They are not worried about getting it right. Children have awesome faith! They will believe what you tell them, simply because you said it. Will we believe what God says, simply because He said it???? Will we believe we are healed simply because He said it??? Will we believe that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly beyond what we are able to ask or think simply because He said it. When my daughter asks me for something and I say I will get it for her, it doesn't always mean right away. Sometimes, months pass.......and my daughter says to me "Mommy, remember you said you were going to get me this?" Guess what, she reminds me and I get it for her. That's why it's important to pray God's promises back to Him. It's not for Him (he does not need a reminder) it's for us. To remind us, that He will do what He says He will do

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
