Don't stop believing!!!!

The things that are invisible are more powerful then the things that are visible.  Let me say again, "The things that are invisible are more powerful than the things that are visible"  A long time ago, I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  Long time meaning about 12 years ago.  As a young Christian, I made alot of mistakes, had alot of pride.............but even in the midst of that, God had given me the precious gift of faith.  Faith is not something "we have"  faith is something we receive from the Lord.  As I look back on the period of my life where I was very new to my Christian walk, I grew to despise certain things about the period, because I was so prideful and I wished I could of done things differently.  However, God has shown me recently that all that I have now is a harvest from the faith He had given me way back then.  He is showing me not to despise that period in my life because of the mistakes, because even in the midst of mistakes, God looks at the intents of the heart and even in the midst of mistakes, it is possible to still be sowing in faith.  My life is absolutely beautiful.  Not "easy"  but beautiful.  After 8 years my marriage to my husband has blossomed into something I would of never thought was possible.  A dream come true.  My kids are amazingly blessed, and I get to be at home with them even though it is the hardest job on the face of the earth, I love every minutes of it.  Right now, is the best time of my life. People looking into a window of my life.  I don't know if they would agree, because my life looks pretty mundane and repetitive.  It doesn't look very exciting.  That's because the excitement in my life come through my walk with my Savior, my God, my Father.  He is the "Lover of my soul".  But I want to encourage myself and other in is that, while I despised areas of my life where there was sin, mistakes, and pride;  God has shown me that I still had faith and I am reaping a harvest right now.  The way my life and family is right is exactly how I prayed it would be back when I was still new to my Christian walk.  I knew the life I wanted to life and I believed God for it.  I went through some hard times, because I took some hard falls and I don't know where I was on the faith scale at that point, but that didn't negate the period of time where I was believing God for a certain type of life.  I sowed in faith to the life I have now, years and years ago, but I went through periods of questioning all that I was believing God for, but I didn't loose what I sowed to just because I had periods of doubt.  Now I have it.  Don't stop believing, it may take years but you cannot stop believing God for His promises to manifest in your life.  He will bring it to pass.  I know it, just wait on Him.
This revelation from God has encouraged me to continue sowing in faith for the things for my future and the future of my family.  I am not chasing these things that I'm believing God for, because if I keep my eyes on my relationship with Jesus, these things will start chasing me.  Now, I just want to enjoy my relationship with God and my family.  That's it!!!  That's is where my contentment is, my satisfaction and my power.   It is the best time of my life.  Please pray for God to help you enjoy Him in every season,  He needs to become your contentment.  Satisfy yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.  You don't have to go chasing things, they will chase you.  Ask God to help you to taste Him and see that He is good.  He will do it.  He knows He is good, He knows He can satisfy you.  Just ask Him.

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.

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
