Don't be afraid of ministry

Don't be afraid of ministry.
Don't be afraid of your desires.
Don't be afraid of your design.

This is for the women! We care deeply for our families, protective even. But God cares even more deeply and He will protect them. This is from God, "You can't protect them". Pray for God's protection. I'm going to say it again "You can't protect them". Pray for God's protection. Lets disarm the flesh right now in the name of Jesus. If you have been holding off and saying "no" to ministry, your desires, and your design to try to protect your family, I want to tell you right now "You can't protect your famil, only God can". I say this to women because we put so much of ourselves aside for our families, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. But I am saying sometimes we do it for the wrong reasons. I am a big advocated of putting family before ministry. However, it is getting more weighty on my heart that our design, our desires, and our ministry are intertwined. We are doing our families an injustice by not living according to our design. God gave us to our families based on our design, they need it!. God gave us to our families based on our design, they NEED it. Don't deny them. It's been on my heart for a long time that my family needs me to operate exactly how God designed to operate, so I can't be scared of it. But at the same time I have to submit to the Lord in this, so my motives stay pure. Walking in your designed purpose for your life can only be done with God. It is impossible to do without God.

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 ...
