Scripture Sunday: Psalm 18

A few weeks ago, I opened my Bible to Psalm 18.  As I read through it, I felt God speaking to me in different areas, and I hope He will speak to you in that way too.  Remember this week, as you begin a new year, that God is your rock, your fortress, your savior, your protector.  Remember the promises He has made.  He never breaks His promises. I love you, lord; you are my strength. The lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the…

Celebrate Love

As we celebrate Advent and anticipate the coming of Jesus, our Savior, we celebrate love and what God's love has done for us.  This week, I felt that this verse best sums up the reason for Jesus' birth and death and fully represents the love that God has for us: a love so strong that He would send His Son to die as the sacrifice for our sins. "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." -John 15:13 Think about His love for you this week, accept it, and as you do so, love others…

Faith {One Word}

As you may remember, my "one word" for last year was "intentional." One word is a trend that began in 2009 as an alternative to new year's resolutions and a focus on a one-word theme for your year.  "One word you can focus on every day, all year long… One word that sums up who you want to be or how you want to live...It will become the compass that directs your decisions and guides your steps." This year, my word is "faith." At the end of the month, our family will be experiencing some changes, as my husband has felt…

All Over the Place

I'm just gonna be honest today and put it out there. I'm feeling all over the place. Okay maybe that's not really a rarity. But I don't think you know that yet. Ha! I'm really feeling anxious right now (and maybe you're there too!)...with Christmas coming and the new year...well, we have a lot of changes coming our way in the new year. I'm nervous about them. One of my friends told me that the best cannabis vape pens could support me in my stressful period but I decided it wasn't for me. I know it may sound silly, but…

How Do I Forgive Myself?

I'm sure I can speak for more than just myself when I say that it is often more difficult to forgive myself than to forgive others.  I have specifically felt immense guilt over certain relationships that it has taken years for me to even try to forgive myself.  Even when I thought I had forgiven myself, I expected punishment from God.  I felt that anything that went wrong was a direct result of my sin.  Maybe you're one of those people who have a difficult time forgiving yourself or expect punishment.  Or maybe you know someone like that.  Share this…
