Pray the Hardest, when it is the hardest to pray

          The cutest thing happened during work yesterday and I just let it happened. It all started with the simplest of things and it got bigger as it went on. It was really neat to see it happening around little children but yet God always told us to have faith like a little child. What happened yesterday was a good reminder for me. The thing that happened was this: a little girl started talking about God and how He died on the cross for us. It got the other children talking about it too.             The little girl started talking about it because of the craft she and her classmates were making. We started off by talking about the stars and how they made shapes in the sky. That you can see the shapes when you are camping outside at night. We watched a YouTube video about the stars and then we actually showed them the stars using an app on our phone that showed where the shapes real...

"The long wait Home is easier when you are focusing on the Trophy." (aka "The long walk home is easier when you are carrying a trophy."-The Hunting' Grounds)               I will say this entry thought process has been in my drafts for a long time with that saying above. I still like it so I am not going to delete but I might take a different turn then I was going to when I first thought of this entry because I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. I will go ahead and tell you that I was going to focus on how our journey to our Heavenly home is a long wait but it makes it easier when you are focusing on the Trophy, that is God. Here lately, though, God has been showing me another meaning of the Long wait that I really want to write about instead. The Wait I want to talk about now is: The waiting process in a relationship. I know I am taking a sightly different turn but then again I am not. They can go hand in hand if you really think about th...

Daddy, I Give You My All Daddy, I give you my all. You Have given me a lot more so why Should it be hard to give you my All. It shouldn't be hard. That is Just it. It should be easy but we Live in a sinful world. We live In a world that is controllable. Daddy, I give you my all. I give It all back to You. I give it 1,000 times more. When I try to figure It all out, I mess it all up. I can't Do it all at the same time. It's Just not possible. I start by giving You my thoughts. I want them to Be positive and used for You.

I give You my all because I want Joy In my life. I want You to be the Center of my l...

Serenity.             That is my word to fit my phase for the month of June. Sorry that the month is almost over and I am now just writing this entry. Another word for serenity is: tranquillity. It makes more sense to say, "I purpose to daily tranquil."I picked these words for this month's theme because I need some of that serenity. I started the summer program for the first time at my job since I started in September. I heard it was going to be hard and crazy so I picked this word for some calmness and to remind me to take a break every once in awhile. It has helped me these past two weeks since the summer program started. I feel more content and peaceful with everything. There is also something else that made me pick this word.              When the month started and before this month started, I started to say the Serenity Prayer for my life every week. A friend of mine suggested that I started to do that especially ...

Daisies at Sunset I look at what's in front of me. The beauty that is before me. The our whiteness in a big field. Nothing but white. It looked so peaceful with the wind swaying It back and forth. Not only was there a field of Pure whiteness before me but There was also a little bit of color. The white was against a background Of orange and pink colors. The Background of those colors were just Glowing so brightly. The glow was Like a light shining on them from Down below. It was as if someone painted a picture Just for me. The picture is called, "Daisies at Sunset". The whiteness in The field are the daisies in the field. The orange and pink colors in the Background are in the sky. That is The sun setting in the evening. It is A beautiful picture showing what a Peaceful life looks like. That beautiful picture is painted on A great canvas. The canvas is the Country where it is always peaceful. The picture adds to the country. You can never ...

These are the top 6 things that God is for and to me..... Daddy-          He is there for me when I need Him the most. He will wrap me up in the comfort of His Wings when everything else just seems to be falling apart around me. He tells me that I am beautiful and will always be His little girl. I never grow up in His Eyes. He is there when I need to talk to someone about the deepest things in and on my heart. He is my Daddy.  Provider-          He provides things for me when I need them the most. He makes sure I have just the right amount of things when I need them at the right time. He can do that with things, with people, or with His Word. He can provide whatever it is that I need at that right moment. It could be a song that I needed to hear or advice or encouragement from a friend. It could also be the right amount of money that I need for the right amount of things. He also provides the wisdom that I need to do what is...

           I found these verse this morning in my devo. by Sarah Young. I couldn't believe how perfect they fit my life right now. I'm doing this entry because I want to remember these verses to look back on when I need reminded of the healing and hope in Christ.  Jeremiah 30:17 " But I will restore you to health      and heal  your wounds,’ declares the  Lord , ‘because you are called an outcast,      Zion for whom no one cares."             This verse helps me with my anxiety. I thought about it when I read it in my devo. book. "Restore you to health and heal your wounds" got to me because I need to be heal of my anxiety to where I can live a regular life and without being on the meds. the drs. give you. I also liked this verse because of the wounds it talks about. I know it doesn't talk about the hurting wounds on your skin but the w...

You want people to know You and serve You. The only way to do that is if You are seen through my life. It is the outward world that You shine to. God, You are My Guiding Light. You guide me in the way You want me t...

Proverbs 14:30 New International Version (NIV) 30  A heart at peace gives life to the body,      but envy rots the bones.                      The next few paragraphs below are not written by me. They are written by an author that works for Proverbs 31 Ministries. The paragraphs are from one of the devos. that was written awhile back. The devo. is called "Coming Apart at the Seems". The link is at the bottom of this entry you can click on it or if it doesn't work, then copy and paste it on top.             Our key verse in Proverbs reflects this well,  “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”  This verse may seem pretty straightforward. Envy keeps you from experiencing peace. While this is true, a dig into the original Hebrew language gives us even a more vivid snapshot of its intended meaning.         ...

" I'd be packin' my bags when I need to stay I'd be chasin' every breeze that blows my way I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away It's true That's me without  you."- "Me Without You": by TobyMac                       I'm using a song title and some song lyrics from TobyMac because they fit my life perfectly right now. TobyMac never fails me when it comes to the meaning of his songs. He has always been one of my favorites and always will be. I will explain what each of the song lyrics mean to me. Even though, the song is mostly repeated, it has meaning behind it for those who will listen. I was just looking at the lyrics this morning and noticed that they are all the same. For some reason, while listening to it, that never dawned on me. The part the really gets me is the course.            I think He meant for it to. He meant for people to hear the course over and o...

I can't support when I'm not giving the chance. I can't help when I'm not giving anything specific to do. I can't encourage when I don't have anyone around me. I can't have empathy when I don't have the whole story. I can't change when no one will give me the chance to. I can't open up when I am scared or don't know the person at all. I can't live when all I feel is loneliness around and inside me. I can't show that I care when I don't have anything to care about. I can't feel complete when I'm just sitting around with none of these in my life. Just give me a chance. Don't be harsh, just try to understand what's going on with me. Why drop me like a bomb? Let's forget about her and move on. I can't tell you how I got where I am today when you judge me. It hasn't been an easy path at all for me. I can't go fast right to success when people take the time to know me. I...

Psalm 32:1-7 New International Version (NIV) Psalm 32 Of David. A  maskil. [ a ] 1  Blessed is the one      whose transgressions are forgiven,      whose sins are covered. 2  Blessed is the one      whose sin the  Lord  does not count against them      and in whose spirit is no deceit. 3  When I kept silent,      my bones wasted away      through my groaning  all day long. 4  For day and night      your hand was heavy  on me; my strength was sapped      as in the heat of summer. [ b ] 5  Then I acknowledged my sin to you      and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess      my transgressions  to the  Lord .” And you forgave      the guilt of my sin. 6  Therefore let all ...
