Complaining
There are days when it seems like complain about every little thing. I act as if I am not extremely blessed. I know that I am, but I get caught up in comparing what I have to what others have and I feel inadequate. I know I shouldn't, but honestly, we all are guilty of that in some fashion. It seems like there is always a competition to see who can get the biggest and the baddest things. I don't live in a fancy house. In fact, I live in a double wide mobile home. Not exactly what … [Read More...]
Pleasing Others
I don't know why I do it and why I can't stop myself, but I am always trying to live to please others. Most of the time, they don't appreciate it anyway. In fact, they find something to complain about anyway. It seems like nothing I do is ever good enough. I can always do something better. It's exhausting...mentally, physically and spiritually. I've always been an outsider, never quite fitting in. I was never part of the "in" crowd. Never have been and after 40 years, don't think … [Read More...]
Just One Touch
It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Are you at a breaking point in your life? So often in our lives, we find ourselves enduring constant turmoil. It seems as though the light “at the end of the tunnel” is impossible to see. You are tired of holding on. Family and friends try to encourage you, but you are no longer receptive to their kind words. You are just tired and frustrated. Does this sound like you? You are sick-and-tired of being sick-and-tired. Just when you get one side … [Read More...]
Can You Praise While You Wait?
When was the last time you really sat down and thought about the goodness of Jesus? When was the last time you took the time to think on His faithfulness toward you? Just think of all the things you have done wrong in your life. Think of the times He stepped in just before you broke down. Think of the times He rescued you just before satan released his deadly blow. Think of the times He covered you from the attacks that were coming against you. Think of the times He forgave you, although you … [Read More...]
I really love the Lord!
Sometimes my actions may not show it, but I really do love the Lord. He has done so many wonderful things in my life. He has brought me through so many trials and tribulations....I just get teary eyed thinking about it. I'm just a lowly sinner, but yet He continues to bestow His grace and mercy on me. How could I not love Him? Unlike people, who I feel like I always need to prove myself too, God loves me unconditionally. When I'm having a bad hair day and not looking my best, whether fat … [Read More...]
Faith
Although it pains me to do so, I have to admit that sometimes my faith is not what it ought to be. Don't get me wrong. I wholly believe in God and His promises and know that "all things work together for the good of those who love Christ Jesus and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). But there are days when my faith gets shaken down to the core . There are days when I act like I'm doing this on my own. And horror of horrors, LOL, there are days when I feel like God has forgotten … [Read More...]
I’m not who I’m supposed to be, but…
I'm not who I'm supposed to be, but thank God, I'm not who I used to be. I look back over my life and think about the things I did, the things I allowed and I cringe and feel sick. My life was a mess, but God saw fit to keep me around and bring me through those times. I'll be honest...I don't understand why He did it, but I am grateful that He did. I don't always live my life now like I appreciate Him saving me, but I really do. I still make mistakes and get caught up in situations and … [Read More...]
I almost let go
When was the last time you endured trying times in your life? Times when it appeared as if you would not make it out. Times when you worried whether or not you could maintain until the end. Times when everything and everyone appeared to be fighting against you. Times when your money was low, health could have been better, heart was heavy, job was in jeopardy, marriage (relationship) was … [Read More...]
