Life inside of you

Jesus said in John 10:10  that He came that that we may have life, and have it more abundantly.  As I was walking outside this morning with my son.  I started thinking about all the things I'm doing, all the things I want to do and how in the world is it going to happen.  I clearly heard in my spirit that it's all gonna come out, you just have to keep pushing.  There is a life on the inside of you, that you need to push out.  Many of us have pushed our goals, aspirations, and dreams for life to the side.  I challenge you to re-visit those things through prayer and see what God has to say.  Sometimes, you dream about life being a certain way for years and years, and nothing happens.  You wonder what God is going to do with all your dreams and aspirations.  Will He do anything with them?  Are they from Him?  I asked all these questions over the years.  Then BOOM! God has got me in this place where He is bringing it all to pass.  But I have to push it out, as I trust Him.  When you are pregnant and in labor, your pushing and it feels like "it's taking forever to push this baby out".  But you know it's coming out now!  Your body is going to push.  During labor, you get tired during the pushing and you feel like you can't push anymore.  But your supporters are saying, you have to push. 

There is life on the inside of you and when God is ready to birth that life, you have to push.   You won't always feel like it, but God is saying "you have to push, the life has got to come out".  This is happening to me right now.  I'm pushing it all out, I don't know how long this season is going to last.  But I know I'm pushing it all out.  Every dream that God has given me for my life, my family, my home, my ministry.............He is telling me to push.  It feels awkward, it feels weird pushing so many things out in so many different areas of life.  But that's how God works.  With God, when it rains, it pours.  But don't get overwhelmed by the pouring out.  Just push, keep pushing.  Trust God to order your steps and keep pushing.  When you feel like you can't push anymore, just remember your almost there, but you have to push.  The Holy Spirit is your birth coach.

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 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 can't believe you are
