I have often wondered how it is possible for me to ” Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. -1 Thessalonians 5:16 Here is some insight on how it can happen from God’s Word: “I will extol the Lord at all times; […]
Beautiful remedy for Guilt :-)
“I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” -Psalm 34:4-5 I LOVE this picture. As I seek Him, cry out to Him, trust Him, He delivers me from my fears…from my troubles…from everything that presses in on me or […]
Joy Stealer….
There are so many things out there to steal our joy in Christ. But, it is WE who allow it to be stolen. He so graciously gives His joy to us….but we have to hold onto it. We cannot let it be stolen. The enemy has no power over us. He has to work in […]
More than conquerors!
The last few days were tough in parenting, but as friends prayed, and God gave guidance and a huge dose of His spirit to my children (thank-you for that Lord!) 🙂 , today brought forth beauty and joy! As I watched my kids share their toys this morning, and watched my loving son…who gets a […]
Graced by the Beauty of His Creation
I admit it. I have not been a fan of the desert here. In fact, I have called it a wasteland most of the time. My husband loves it…and I know I have dampered his spirits abit with my wasteland talk. There are a lot of verses about the desert being a wasteland in Scripture. […]
My teacher since youth
The Lord has been my teacher and counselor from youth. Even when I didn’t know Him or even acknowledge Him…He was still teaching me. How loving a God is that? His love always amazes me. Some of my favorite verses in the Bible are of the Lord being our teacher. As I read Psalm 27: […]
Waiting brings STRENGTH
As you’ve probably noticed, I have written a lot about waiting for quite a few months now. The Lord is teaching me so much about waiting. As Brian was baptized, the song played, “Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.” That song has played so very much the past year for me…at home…at […]
Birthday wishes…come true!
The past two days have been a little tough in parenting. Many times I feel over my head in parenting…I really have no clue what I am doing! BUT, that is where in my weakness, He is strong. I am learning to cry out to Him often and seek Him in His wisdom in how […]
Maturity in Faith
The Lord has gently impressed upon my heart different levels of maturity in faith. He takes us on the next level when He feels we are ready. Our hearts have to be willing and ready. He never forces us. I love that. Our love is a gift to Him. And that is what He truly wants. I […]
Joy Bringer…!
I was thinking about what has brought me joy here…all the things God has taught me to turn to, to be joyful during this time of my life. And I thought I’d compile a few here: 1. Feeling God’s Presence (Time with Him) 2. Hearing God’s Voice and Guidance (clarity in His Will-through His Word and Prayer) […]
