Faith Focused Friday Psalm 143:8
This verse speaks to my soul in such a deep deep way! It warms me up and always reminds me that I am not alone! How beautiful it is to know that we are His. I pray often that He will light the path He wants me to take so that I can ultimately honor Him and live the life I was meant to carry out! I pray this also over my husband and children. It would be so easy if He could just tell us, but we have to be willing to listen and His will for us will be clear. We are truly blessed to know that this…

Faith Focused Friday Psalms 62:6
I will not be shaken! Those are big words with a powerful meaning. I feel like it is so easy to be “shaken”. Someone ticks you off while you are driving, you’ve asked your child for the 1000th time to put their shoes on, you are worried about your marriage, you cannot stop thinking about your ill family member…. how do we stand firm – the Word of God. We can find peace in knowing who he is and how much he loves us. We can lean on Him and use Him and Him alone as a foundation when fear feels like it is taking over. Friends, I have been…

Today I choose the verse Isiah 53:5. This is such a raw and convicting verse! Although it is hard to fathom what Jesus physically went through, it is necessary to remind us to be humble, kind, and grateful but most of all and at the very least respectful to our God and His sacrifices for us.

This week’s verse is such a good reminder that it is never too late to do what makes you happy! Proverbs 13:12 reminds us that “Hope Deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life”. Why is that so? I really think that when you are doing something that fills your cup, you feel good! God wants us to feel good, He wants us to be happy! Take a long hard look at your situation, are you happy? Is God at the core? If you are, then keep it up girl! If not, first… pray about it, make little changes and take small steps. Set…

Anybody feel like the day to day can just become too much? I do! I have to consciously plan rest time so that I can rest. Seems so silly but if I don’t plan it out, it doesn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen I struggle. Hard. The Lord calls us to him when we are weary and burdened, He wants to give us rest. He does not want us to be overwhelmed with life. He wants us to know His goodness, His peace, His glory and His will. When you have reached your wits end, pray, and pray some more. He is with you always and will give you…

I have not personally struggled with anxiety but have obviously been anxious throughout my life and the experiences it has brought me. Yes two totally different things. I am very aware. Either way the word of God tells us to never be anxious, to always pray with thanksgiving your requests to God and you will be given peace. Sometimes we think we are living the path God has laid out for us, but find that somewhere we took a wrong turn. To me, anxiousness, stress, a life of worry, is a sign that we have missed a step, a turn something in our path because God wants non of those…

I feel like our world is so brave on social media and honestly just in general. It is so ready to make people live in fear, act out on anger and fight back when there is no fight to be had. WHY? So willing to post/do whatever they want because they don’t have to face the consequences head on. Here is what I think… we all have to face the consequences of our actions in one way or another. Why risk it? Do good. Be good. Be kind. Play nice. Be peaceful and understanding. Follow the rules! The verse this week is Romans 12:18. It tells us to live at…

Hello sweet friends! I could not pick one verse out of this portion of the Bible. It is one of my very favorite parts. It gives me strength and hope that I am going to be okay. Ephesians 6:10-18 explains that we can use the incredible tools our Lord gave us to protect ourselves and that we need nothing more. I get choked up every time I talk about this. And after all of the pieces of armor are listed the Bible tells us to pray. We have got to be the luckiest people who walk this earth. We are given everything we need to be safe, all we have…

Life can be so tough! We forget the simplest solution to that! Seek out our great God. Look for Him, ask Him, pray to Him and give Him glory! That is what He wants most. It is so easy to forget the obvious sometimes! Why?! We try to take on such big mountains, emotions, situations, all by ourself, and that is just not how He made us! We need Him and we need our people. We simply cannot do this life on our own. The blessings He has laid out for us, the beautiful path Has written for us, all starts with us finding Him and doing everything we can…
