This past weekend my husband and I took our daughter to a Princess Ball. 90 screaming little girls, all of their mommies (and some daddies), and all the Disney princesses that have ever existed were all in one extremely hot middle school gym. As it was coming to a close, all of the little girls gathered around Queen Elsa (from the movie Frozen) as she sang her signature song, “Let It Go”. The next morning, as I was lying in bed, the song came back to my mind. I have to confess that I’ve only seen the movie 1 time…
Remember God is greater than whatever it is that has you feeling down.
Some of us have allowed fears and limitations to control our lives. It has become our boundaries to go beyond and margins to dream greater things. But if we realize that all these parameters can be surpassed, then we can reach our fullest potential that God has called us to fulfill. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. – Hebrews 11:1 To surpass all our fears and limitations, it requires faith which means getting rid of your “I can’t” mentality, “maybe tomorrow” mentality and replacing it with your trust in Christ.…
I am obsessed with my looks. There, I said it. Not the type of obsessed that I can’t pass a mirror or other reflective surface without checking myself out. I’m not arrogant in that I think I’m so beautiful that I simply must have another look at myself. I don’t take selfies anywhere and everywhere and scatter them throughout various outlets of social media. I don’t make selfie books for my husband, Kim Kardashian-style. But I’m obsessed with certain aspects of my appearance. I don’t quite know how or when this “obsession” started, but I suspect it had something at…
Colossians 3:2 – Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Notice that when you walk around with your head looking down you pick up on so many things you usually miss. You see the cracks in the pavement, the misplaced dirt, the insects, and the weeds. You notice the slanted steps on a house or maybe just the brokenness in the area that you are in all around. There are so many circumstances and situations that can easily distract your walk both physically and mentally and may even make you forget where you…
What a precious baby girl! …Wait. She belongs to my old college roommate? No way! …Wait. Did I miss her wedding? As I curiously stalk my old roommate on Facebook I realize I hadn’t missed anything. Not even an engagement. Just the reality of another friend cohabiting with her boyfriend. Once I asked a woman close to her due date how many children she would have. She said this one was number 3, that she and her boyfriend were overjoyed, and only blessing could follow. I congratulated her, smiled, and was saddened all at the same time. Other than the…
I would not say that I have been a model Christian my whole life. I am far from it and not deserving of all God has done for me, BUT His grace is more than sufficient and it is made perfect in my weakness. I digress…. The last few years of my life I can safely say I have truly witnessed the hand of God move in my life, and to be honest I feel as though I am not doing the miracles justice by keeping them to myself. On the other hand my human nature has convinced me that…
Out of all the men in the world, I am glad I have the one I have. Sure, we have our differences, and I am certain we can get on each other’s last nerve, but when all is said and done, we bring out the best in one another. What we have works. I am grateful for that. But let’s talk a little bit more about the times when we get on each other’s last nerve. When my husband drives me nuts, it’s often because he either didn’t do something I expected him to do, or did something I didn’t…
