What you thought you wanted. What you didn't know that you had.

As I have started focusing on some goals and desires God has placed on my heart, there is something that has resonated with me. Could there be a strength a gift that God would reveal to me that I didn't know I had. Sometimes in our own worldly knowledge we might think we know who we are in Christ. But God says I know you thought "such and such" but this is who you really are. What if God could suprise you with some delightful discoveries about yourself that would allow you to walk and govern yourself more freely as a follower of Christ. There are some certain tasks that give me great joy but I don't think I'm very good at them. Here is a small example. Math has always been my favorite subject, but it also been my weakest subject. I love finding systematic ways to solve problems but I don't feel like I live my life in a very systematic way. Another thing is that I have always felt so fulfilled after cooking an enjoyable meal at my home for someone else, whether it be family, friends, or strangers. I feel so full after I do something like that, and I'm not talking about my appetite (lol). I feel like I have walked so strongly in God's design for my life in those situations. Another thing I love is watching others walk in God's purpose for their life, I love seeing how God has gifted them and I thourouly enjoy those gifts. Something about seeing God's hand clearly in somebody else's like makes me so happy and strengthens my faith. Conveying God's wisdom to others is also something that I get so much enjoyment out of. His wisdom is so amazing, special and a treasure to me. His wisdom has helped me heal my children, it has helped me find solutions to everyday problems. His wisdom can take something that would seem complicated to someone else and convey the answer to you in the simplest of forms.

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...

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. ...

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 ...
