Blessings

Blessings can be hard to see sometimes, especially if we are going through a rough patch! A lot of times, unless they're like huge, they're hard to spot, right? Sit down, with a pen and paper, and think of all the small and big blessings you've had today alone.. You either got right through it, or you struggled to think of any. I've been on both sides! Here's my list for today, and today alone, God didn't forget to wake me this morning, my children, fellowshipping at church while cleaning and organizing, bath time, showers, food, a roof over my head, my cat, my bed, my family and their support, some things that I've got lined up for myself, my friends and so on.

When You're Tired

When you're tired, you're ready for bed and just want to sleep, am I wrong? I know that's how I am anyways! We tend to accidentally put God on the back burner when we are tired, whether it's physically, emotionally or mentally. I know a lot of times it can be hard to pray, even just a quick thank you Lord can be hard to get out when we are exhausted!

Joy!

Joy, it's something we all love to feel, right? I know I sure do! If you're saved, you know that we can always have that joy, it's up to us to focus on it instead of the trial, test or temptation that we're facing! I know it can be extremely hard to focus on, but sometimes we just need to in order to get through whatever it is we are facing!

Coming Closer to God..

Ok, sorry that I haven't been on posting guys, I've had some personal family stuff going on that I can't control. Anyways, during these past few days, I have seen how much I truly call upon God when I need Him the most. Which is close to none, I keep throwing out excuses saying well I can't even think straight, but I can think well enough to cry to my mom or my best friend. That's stopping, today.

Heartbreak.

Oh yeah, we've all been there, break ups, death of a family member, all kinds of things. They're hard to deal with and seem like they take forever to get over, by the time you think it's ok, something pops up and you break down again.

Fear..

We all have fear, some of us anxiety, more so than others, we feel lost, and don't know how to handle it or where to turn to. Trust me, I'm there, and yes it's the worst feeling in the world! It drains you mentally, emotionally, and physically if you let it. We as Christians have to remember where we stand, and that's with God.

Love, Like Jesus Loves You!

Love, when you hear that, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For me, it's my family, mom, dad, brother, kids, husband, etc. it should be God. I'm just as guilty as you are, believe me! I know during hard and, let's be honest, easy times, it's hard to remember that God is there for us no matter what and that He loves us no matter what we do or what we say. People may love us, but we as people don't have the understanding of love like God does, and with some people, that love is conditional, whereas with God, it is NEVER conditional!

A Little Encouragement!

You know how sometimes you go through a trial, and you feel like there's no end and that you're in the wrong, even though you know that you know that you've done nothing wrong, biblically or morally? Yeah, we've all been there, me included. In fact my family and I are going through a trial right now, but God is so good.

Parenting is Rough, But With God, All Things Are Possible!

Many of us have children, and as those of you who have kids know, it can be very trying. Here's an example, usually my youngest daughter naps but my son doesn't and if he does, he won't go to bed until 9 or 10 at night, which can be very frustrating when there are things that need to be done. I'm going to be honest with you, a lot of times I have issues remembering to call upon God, I'm not perfect! Nobody is.

Divorce, is it ever ok?

Let's be honest with each other, we either know someone who has been divorced, know of someone or you have been divorced. Maybe you've just considered divorce, but you're not sure if it's the Godly thing to do.
In Genesis 2:24 it says, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.", this meaning that once you are married, in God's eyes and it should be in yours too, you and your spouse are one, you are no longer seen as separate but as one person come together before God.
