Welcome Friends!

-
I've blogged for years but I decided to start a new blog in 2015 because God has shown me again some new perspective and reignited a fire in me that had burned out long ago. I have been reminded a lot this year that He isn't done with me yet. I've spent many many days and nights on my death bed, lying in a lonely hospital bed. I've heard more than my share of bad news especially this year. I've had people that were close friends stop talking to us because it was too much for them to bear. I've been hurt, left, betrayed, cheated, abused, abandoned at some of the hardest, worst times in my life but its all left me to cling to God that much more. At the end of the day God's strength will get us through any and all situations if we trust in His words even when we don't always feel like it, all we need is faith as small as a mustard seed. I hope through my journey and the mountains that I am and have had to climb you will find encouragement for your life and together God can move your mountain and give you strength to encourage those around you! You can make a difference right where you are! So join me in prayer for all those who will read this that God has more for you and me than we can even imagine or think! Let today be a new start, its never too late to start over. <3

The crucial test to save any relationship including friendship and marriage

Do you know what your love language is? Focus on the Family has made it their mission to help marriages in ways not many others have found solid ground. Having been frustrated in long term relationships and then in my own marriage we sought out answers as to why we don't FEEL loved for years. Through counseling years ago, research and learning tools in our marriage we were able to pin point key reasons why we didnt show each other the love the way we interpret and need to be loved. After taking The test I found out my two love languages are Acts of Service and Quality Time. Acts of Service Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an "Acts of Service" person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: "Let me do that for you." Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don't ma...

Forgiving

-
One of the most complex situations I have been navigating, especially the past few years, is forgiveness. Forgiveness is not an immediate response in most, as truly deep offenses are a process to forgive.  Forgiveness is an action that is so powerful it has the ability to break down fortress walls that people have built up to protect themselves, it's a force so strong it also influences everyone in  the world around us. Forgiving someone is difficult, and sometimes it feels downright impossible. The impossible feeling comes when we don't get that apology. We don't get the acknowledgement that someone has detrimentally affected our life. I've had some of the most atrocious things happen to me by other people. Most never apologized. Each situation changed who I was, and it took a lot of work to get back to being ME. The me after each of these circumstances was forever changed, sometimes wiser, sometimes stronger, sometimes bitter. I'm not perfect. I wont sit here a...

I cant believe it is 2017!  2017 is my year for hope, healing, and Soaring!  Every year I pray and seek God for a word and verse for the next year. Every year it's amazing to see how the context of those verses become such a deeper revelation to my soul. There are many things on my heart right now that I am believing for, but when I was praying this verse really made me light up. God is the only one who can renew my strength and I will hold onto HOPE , HEALING, and SOAR with the eagles in 2017!   Isaiah 40:31  (NIV)  but those who HOPE  in the  Lord   will renew their strength. They will SOAR on wings like eagles;      they will RUN and not grow weary,      they will WALK and not be faint. Now I can say I want to do all that and declaring IS the first step, but what are some practical ways this is going to happen? In order for me to set goals to accomplish I NEED a list. If I don't have ...
