When we're in the midst of storms and battles, the challenges we face can seem to be so big and overwhelming. During those times it's helpful to remember WHO is beside you and WHO is for you. Remember all of God's miracles from the past and all of His promises. Your challenges will shrink in size as you compare them to God's power and glory and what He is able to do. Take a few moments out of your day and watch this video of Chris Tomlin's song, "Our God is Greater". It will help bring peace and calm as you remember that our God is greater than anything you are facing today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb4o4lN0c_E

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 ...
