Monday - "Things are always changing"

As I was watching an old movie I still enjoy just as much as when I was young or even more now; I realized how much things have changed and people have changed since the movie was made.  Even the artists, in the movie, have grown and changed so much. Some have entered into new areas of business and new areas of growth in the entertainment industry.  These artists were trailblazers and now have a position of honor in the music industry because of their earlier efforts and achievements. But my main point was that they did not stay the same.  God stays the same, but everything else and everybody else is constantly changing.  This Monday my focus is that "Things are always changing"  I pray that you let that statement encourage your heart today, because sometimes you feel stuck and sometimes you have been wondering how long you are going to have to do whatever it is you're doing.  Well, things are always changing. God is always moving in your life.  You may not be able to see it or feel it at the time but change is underway.  God wants to get you from point A to point B and His desire is to do it miraculously as you fight against the tides and waves that seek to sway you off your coarse.  When you are constantly fighting the tides and waves that tend to discourage you, it's hard to feel like you are moving forward.  You don't feel like you're going anywhere.  Trust me you are going somewhere, you are moving forward.  Your job is to fight to stay on coarse, God's job is to get you to where you're going.  Pray according to Psalm 121:3, that God will not allow your foot to be moved

Psalm 121:3New King James Version (NKJV)
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Look at nature and the seasons, the changes in the trees, the colors of the leaves.  Look at animals and how they go through the changes of seasons.  Don't become fustrated with your life,  as sure as the seasons change is as sure as you can be that you will experience change in your life as well.  This is how God designed it.  Genesis 8:22 says so

Genesis 8:22 New King James Version (NKJV)
22 “While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”

Keeping my mind focused on these things has helped me through years and years of waiting for certain things to take place in my life.  I stand as a living witness to tell you that things change, circumstances change, people change, and life changes.  Believe God!

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
