Every day is a discovery Let the light in

Lately I have been struggling with a sense that every day will bring nothing but more of the same thing as the day before.  When I think like this it is really hard to get up in the morning.  As I reflect on the last few months that is totally untrue!  I helped to start a women's club, went back to school, became more active in my church, and spent more time on myself a bit too.  Isn't it funny how easily lies can creep in when we let them?  I have been fighting feeling depressed because I feel like I am not going anywhere, and I think it is because I am not moving as quickly or efficiently as I want to. When I start to get tense in my thinking or even physically the Lord sends me reminders that he has the blueprint and that his design for my life is not compromised.  His word soothes me when I read that he wants to give me more than I can think of asking.  I am excited when I remember that Christ has already defeated the world and because he is with me I have victory already no matter what things seem like.  Whenever we are following God's plan and his word the world will try to discourage us, but take courage.  They can't change one bit of what God has for us and it is awesome.  So I encourage you as I sometimes have to encourage myself.  When you are in a dark place mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or even physically.  Let the light in and decide that God has given you this day and he never gives a broken gift.  Remind yourself that God has plans for you by reading your Bible, your devotional, whatever you have.  Listen to the sounds of God in nature and in song.  Remind yourself who God is and who you are in him.  We are going places beloved.  We are heading towards destiny and fulfillment.  Just breathe and thank God he knows the way.  Discover God again every day, and let the light of Jesus shine on you. You are loved and you are cared for by the best of the best.  Have a great day!!!

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
