We are God’s Heroes

I was called a hero today and I just wanted to share my thoughts. First of all, I felt stand-offish by the remark because I have always viewed God as my hero and I don't really view myself as one at all. Well, after the following words finally registered, I can see that many of …

Humans

We are really all the same. We all open up after we learn someone's name. It doesn't really matter if we live near or far. Where we live, our background, make-up, and views are just a piece of who we are. We long for knowledge of the unknown. We look for answers that cannot be …

God is my Rock

This was me. A General Manager for the Olive Garden. I had my name on the wall... in stone. I had a big smile on my face and I was happy... until... I couldn't sleep, eat, and manage my stress enough to keep up with the heavy rock on the wall. I demoted myself back …

Sing 🎤 🎶 a Little Tune Tag

I would like to invite anyone who wants to try something new, exciting, and a bit edgy to try this tag! I was inspired by John over at The Eclectic Contrarian to sing a tune myself "once upon a time" but haven't followed through... until now. So... if you dare... sing something... anything and then …

“Pal”Fish out of Water

Motivation is sometimes found when you simply don't give up! Most of you know that I wrestled for the last few weeks with feelings of not being able to do enough. Well, God listened, and now He has decided that it is time for me to have more. God answered and gave me PalFish. Now …

Service is Food

Welcome to Food Talk Wednesday! Today I want to discuss service because I believe that it is better than any ingredient, garnish, and sometimes it is better than the food altogether. Working in a restaurant for twenty years has shown me that there are so many people who simply need to be noticed, heard, and …

God Gives

God ALWAYS has a purpose for you, me, and everyone around us. He gives us our purpose even if we cannot see it at all times. Sometimes I feel as though I might be missing out on His purpose for my life. I start to think that since I am not doing more at this …

Keep Going

Every step in life gears us up to handle things that we are yet to face later on. God planned our lives to be like this. He wanted us to live, learn, grow, and then continue on and find ways to make our lives easier so that we could spend more time with Him. This …

God Doesn’t Make Mistakes

Have you ever thought why is this or that person in your life? I have. You know the ones... the people who push your buttons and say things that really make you think. Some make you feel like a lesser being, others make you doubt yourself, and some even make you want to give up. …

Love

If we learn to live a life of love ❤️💕we live the way God wants us to live. Photo from Piktag.com I hope this finds you all having a blessed Sunday! Christy 🙂

He is Still Working on Us

Sometimes during our journey to be closer to God we forget some things. We slip up and take things into our own hands when we should simply follow Him. God wants us to be the very best version of ourselves that we can be. If we keep some of the basics top of mind our …

Finding God

When something is lost we look don't we? I remember a time at work when I lost the keys to the building! I was horrified! I thought I was such a loser. I called my boss to report what I had done and then the search began. I looked everywhere! Long story short, I had …

Post Share: Environment Shapes Expectations — Maggie Tiggles

  How did you grow up? What was your environment? If you grew up in a loving, two-parent family, with God at the center, then your expectations can be that you are loveable, God loves you, people love you, family is important, you are to give love to others, and God will […] via Environment Shapes …

Mercy & Grace

We don't deserve His Mercy or His Grace but God gives them to us eagerly, often and because He loves us. After writing my list of thankfulness I felt the need to look up the difference between these two. I also learned that we should be merciful and show God's grace to others. Luke 6:36 King James …

Fixing Faults

God wants us to keep growing as Christians. I believe that one way to do this is by admitting our faults to oursleves so that we can face and work on improving them. My biggest fault is complaining. I do it different ways; I utter under my breathe and  I even share my complaints with …

Shine

A while back I was given this pumpkin story that I have loved ever since. I don't know who the author is because this is the way that it was given to me, and the giver did not know who wrote it. So, I hope you like this story from an unknown author. Have you …

The LP Dilemma

This can be a story about my dilemma or a mountain climb... you decide! I have over 1000 LPs sitting in my basement. My challenge is to sell them of course! My Dilemma is: Let them sit there and continue to collect dust.  Act on it! I have started climbing Mt. Everest, in a sense, …

Mental Rest with God

This picture was taken a month ago from my small garden out back. I have always enjoyed looking up at the sky through a blanket of leaves. Do you enjoy this type of view also? What nature images are most appealing to you? There were traces of blue showing through, a blanket of green The …

Fall in the Fall?

Short StoryThe air was cool and the ground was wet from the rain earlier on in the day. The skies were bursting with bright colors of pastel blue, hints of orange and yellow, and there were a few lingering rain clouds above the old buildings which surround my neighborhood. Evidence of late autumn portrayed itself …

Positivity

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a rut? Have you felt like this was it? I sure have! When I do, I try to get my positive mood back because... What is life when we are thinking poorly? It is sad. It is a less than desirable way to live and... what …

Live God’s Way

I love the following 2 quotes from Joyce Meyer! Learn in your experience what is pleasing to God and live accordingly. Are you a God Pleaser or a Man Pleaser? The following verses help explain this message. Ephesians 5:10 King James Version  10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Colossians 1:10 King James Version  10 That ye might …

How I lost Envy and Became Happy

I wanted to be “her” for such a long time. That girl who had her life all figured out. She always knew what she wanted to do, when, why, where, and even how she was going to do it. That “girl” varied from person to person for a long while in my life but eventually, …

Thankfulness

Being thankful is an important part of being a Christian. The prayers are never too short, a casual "thanks" is just as good as an elaborate one. ___________________________________ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 King James Version  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. ___________________________________ Today I want to …

Time with God

I hope that this video is an inspiration for you like it was for me. Feeling "pretty good" about how my mornings are being spent wasn't enough because I know that I can do better! I was inspired to consider what would be different if I were to dedicate EVERY morning (instead of most) to …

Prayers Left Unanswered May Just be a Miracle

Have you ever thought "Why didn't God answer my prayer?" Sometimes we are faced with a variety of things that may cause us to pray to God so that He can help us with them: things that we want out of sad moments we wish would never come exciting things that we may think is …

Pirates

When I heard the word pirates, "The Goonies" was always on the top of my list growing up. However, ever since I became a mom, other films have pushed my childhood favorite to the back burner. Now, I think of Tinkerbell when it comes to pirates?? Yes, yes I do! I especially think of Zarina. …

Overcoming Anger

Today I re-read and shared Vickie's post on "Listening & Growing" because it touched me when I needed it to. I recently had a poor reaction of my own, with someone I love, and I have been in a slump over it for a day and a half. So, I did what Christians do and …

Today is God’s Day

Psalm 118:24 King James Version 24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Today, and everyday, I want to try harder to live by this verse. Sometimes I find myself lost in what is going on around me; in worry, in stress, or even in excitement. …
