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

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...

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...

Bucket List

I'm laying in bed writing this to you, hoping someone somewhere will realize what a special gift life is. It is a treasure we so often  lose focus of and turn our attention on negative circumstances instead of celebrating the positives in life. Health is one of those things people take for granted until it's threatened or completely stripped from you. For some it happens in the blink of an eye, for others it's gradual, and still others it is the only life they have ever known, fighting since they were little. I love how God made us all unique in our gifts and talents. My weakness is not the same as your weakness and vice versa. This indicates to me that God wants us to be thankful for our strengths, support someone else's strength, and marvel at how He gets us through our weaknesses. For me, I've been fighting for my health for so long, it's all I can remember, and its all my kids know. I couldn't tell you if I ever had a day without being in some kind of p...
