In Dependence Day

I have been looking up options for getting a car these past couple of weeks because I start a new job soon and I need a car.  I didn't know how stressful this whole process would be, but I have had several head aches and even a moment of tears.  In those moments I realized that I literally can't do anything right without the Lord's instruction.  Every time I would ask God why it wasn't working out, he told me over and over again to pray and then trust him.  I don't have the results yet, but I believe that as I pray even now that God has it all worked out.  On this United States Independence Day I am humbled to be In dependence on the Lord in all of my decision making.  It's a relief to know that I can lean on the Lord and he won't drop me.  The Lord knows what I have need of and he won't drop me.  He never has.  I have been in situations where I wasn't able to pay for a class and the money came to me.  I needed money for my business and it came to me.  There have been times when I needed a place to stay and provision came for me.  The Lord doesn't drop his babies, and I am going to rest in my Abba's arms and stop worrying about a silly car when the cattle on a thousand hills is the Lords.  I've prayed about it, and I trust him.  I have done what I know, and it is time for God to show me things that I couldn't have imagined.  Happy Independence Day to all of America and happy 4th of July to everyone everywhere.  Even if it isn't your country's independence day, every day is a blessing and to be celebrated. When you feel anxiety about what is happening in your life, try these scriptures that talk about leaning on God at Bible Study Tools.com. If this doesn't help your faith then I don't know what will.  Be Blessed

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...
