More Thoughts...get Ready

I have come to a point where I don’t know if I could be convinced that my prayers matter. Mark 11:24 says “Therefore believe whatever you ask for in prayer and you shall receive it.” Those are Jesus’s words (though I may not have quoted exactly, I’m working on memory here.) But if I’m to have...

Worry really doesn’t fit with faith. When we are trusting God to handle something we aren’t worried over how things will play out. We can relax and be at peace about it. And that’s where I am over a situation right now. He’s got this. But not too long ago, I started to feel guilty for not being...

This post really belongs in a forum but rather honestly I didn’t feel like searching for the proper category. So, trust.... Trust has to be earned. And it’s not done overnight, or like the flick of a switch. Earning trust is a continual process. We build trust when our actions align with our...

Quite honestly I got tired of searching for the appropriate forum so I just made this a blog. But please leave comments. For those of you reading who enjoy cooking I need some recipe ideas to use up some items from my pantry. My son and I worked on cleaning out the cabinets today. We have an...

I'm quite the fan of early television, particularly "I Love Lucy". (Don't ask me why, I'm not even sure) Recently my mom brought me season one and two of "Bewitched" which I admittingly binged watched on my day off. In my defense, I do have a cold. (I can't seem to stay healthy this year). If...

I've said to God so many times, "use me", "Im ready, use me." Yet as I read a message this morning, I broke. I cried and I thought "God I don't know what to say or do". Later on I listened to "God help me" by plum. I played it maybe three times. On the last go the verse, "Help me to do...

I was driving along this morning and the sun was getting in my eyes so I put my visor down. For whatever reason I then began contemplating how cars in the distant future would be. I joked to myself that instead of using a sun visor, perhaps cars would have high-tech windshields. Maybe they would...

Here we go this should probably be a forum or a thread somewhere but and stead of searching for the right place to put it I'm just going to make it a blog. But feel free to respond as if it was a thread. I have a friend in need. He doesn't have very much to eat. Neither do I. But I have a...

I'm sitting up in bed, in the dimness of my room, watching it rain out my window. Its making quite the patter, sounds a bit like mini galopping horses. Anyway, I remember my mother telling me when I was little, during storms, that thunder was God and the angels bowling and rain was the angels...

It seems all the best stuff comes to me when I am either exhausted, depressed, or both. Guess Ill just roll with it. Here is what came to me tonight. Pronto? Andiamo! "Ready? Lets go!" I just love learning languages! *clears throat* anyway... One Sunday afternoon I was driving home, thinking on...

I have developed an increasing fascination with sign language. Its so fun to learn! I first became interested in ASL back in high school. I learned a few things.... which I don't remember now...then again in college- I wanted to learn sign. I never took the class but I got the book from the...

Wulp, here I go again. (Autocorrect tries to make "Wulp" pulp. Just a fun tidbit for ya) Anyways...I'm not really sure how well I will be able to articulate the thoughts and feelings I've been having lately, but I'll give it the old college try. My life is selfish. Its absolutely selfish. And by...

One of my favorite songs is "You love me anyway" by sidewalk prophets. "I am a thorn in your crown, But you love me anyway, I am the sweat from your brow, But you love me anyway I am a nail in your wrist, But you love me anyway, I am judas's kiss, But you love me anyway. See now I am the man who...

Sitting here with a very full tummy from breakfast, lol and my kids are watching "day of the diesels" a Thomas the tank engine movie. Jealousy is a pretty big theme in Thomas shows and movies, im noticing. In this one the diesel engines are jealous of the steam engines. I don't really blame them...

I had a conversation with my aunt this evening whilst shamefully consuming fast food for dinner (nothing but wholesome nutrition for my family, ha ha) and somehow we ended up on the subject of conscience. Oh yes, I was saying that its not easy for me to just share with anybody that I believe God...

My four year old son loves (or is obsessed with rather) Thomas the tank engine. I mean, he's woken up in the morning and, rubbing sleep from his eyes, asked, "is the big train coming mommy?" And when he was having night terrors the only thing that soothed him was when I sang the opening song to...

I had a thought (oh no that's dangerous!)- what if we changed some common text shorthand to have Christian meanings? Hmmm. Here are some I came up with. Just for amusement sake. Lol. Real meaning: laugh out loud Christian spin: Loving our Lord TtyI. Real meaning: talk to you...

I just wanted to share an adorable story. :) My children and I were outside with some neighbors today. One of my neighbors, a little old lady, went inside her apartment and came out with two helium balloons she'd gotten for her birthday. She gave one to my four year old son and the other to the...

Its 5:18am and my phone with its lovely cracked screen is at 37% battery. And my brain won't turn off or even settle down so I can sleep. So here I am. Blogging. Again. But God will use this for some beautiful purpose. That I am sure of. Cut me down to size Lord for I don't want to take credit...

If a year or two ago you asked me if I ever saw myself being the type of person who woke up in a good mood, who kept a smile on her face, who had Real Joy- I would have looked at you as if you had two heads and said, "Me? You've got to be kidding!" I used to be the type of person who complained...
