Pressures In Life Can Overwhelm

Last week in Bible study, I struggled. I could not get through the chapter. My focus was missing. Every time I tried to read it, pressures in life took over. My mind would wander and I would close the book, again. I could not figure out what was really going on. Which was kind of…

Boy It’s Cold Outside

I guess since it is cold outside it means that we have officially gotten to the holiday season. We have had a lot of warmer weather here. I had our windows open just a couple weeks ago. However it is now cold. We had a bitter wind today. We are supposed to be getting some…

God’s Calling For You

There have been a few things that have been really sticking out to me lately with my Bible study's. I seem to be running into a common theme with both my Wednesday morning Bible study and my personal Bible study. Prayer Listening Doing Thanksgiving I do pray but I tend to do basic prayers or…

God Loves You

There are times I need to remind myself that no matter what I do, no matter what I don't do. God loves me and you. A few years ago I really needed this reminder. Going through Bible study I also realized I wasn't the only one who needed this reminder. So I made up a…

I Choose God

My blog(s) used to be my outlet. I don't always post about everything that goes on but this is going to be a baring, vulnerable, open and honest post. Over the summer I did a Bible study with a few ladies. This study helped cement something I have known but didn't want to accept. Maybe…

Just Prayed

So as days go, this has been a long one. When you have friends in your life for a long time, they become family. When their family hurts, you hurt. When they need comfort, if you can't be with them, you pray. When their children are hurting and they can't be there, you run over…

Raining

Sitting in my chair this afternoon all of a sudden I could smell a familiar and beautiful scent. It was rain that was coming. I could feel myself wrapped in His arms this afternoon and it was just what I needed. You see I know that not everyone ha the gift of smelling and knowing…

Forgiven

I have been a person who is a negative thinker. Someone says something to me and it goes into my instant replay file and it gets played over and over and over again. Today while doing my Bible study this is what came to me: Talk about a wake up call. Wow, wow, wow! He…

Reminders

Time to bare the soul here! Since my father in law has fallen things have been a we bit crazy. I am just off at times. Missing sleep, not eating 100% correct, not getting my Bible study in each morning like I should, and short with my patience. Not only those things but my goals…

Setback or Growth

One of the changes I have been making is to sit each morning and read from my Bible. Not only do I read from it, I underline in it, I write what I am thinking, I doodle, I color and I just make it what I am hearing from Him. I do not have any…
