Keep our eyes on Jesus!

I am praying for discernment. 

I really want a burning bush encounter from God. .

Can’t Jesus just spell it out clearly for me? .

As much as I wish my doubts and fears wouldn’t bother me, they creep in and I start focusing on them instead of Jesus’s Words. “Have courage. It is I, don’t be afraid.” (Matthew 14:27-29) 

When we focus on how strong the fears are instead of the strength of Jesus, we will sink.  Jesus wants us to keep our eyes focused on Him!  It’s always a beautiful picture of God’s strong arms reaching out for us when we do fall.  Jesus gives us wisdom to make choices. Will we stay comfortable or will we get uncomfortable to serve Him? .

WALK by FAITH not by sight!

Weekend Meditations

Hello friends!

Knitting and meditating this weekend. I am working on one of my many projects. This one in particular is a stash busting blanket. I wanted to use up some yarn I have had for awhile and I am holding 3 strands together.  It will be a longer project but I will share it finished one day soon! Maybe. LOL!

A renewed mind really does change everything. It changes impossibility into possibility!
God’s Word tells us eyes on Jesus... His Word will guide us into the mind of Christ.  Where marriages stay together when sin rips a wound wide open.  Where your children are wayward but you have  the power of prayer to help them.  Where your finances are struggling but scarcity is turned into abundance.
But Jesus!
Renew your mind; set your mind on heavenly things. Christ restores, heals, saves, breaks strongholds, forgives and most all loves.
Amen🙌🏻💙

Share what your doing fun this weekend 😍knitting or reading!

God’s Love is Faithful

Jesus and Coffee Bracelet

Hello friends!

I have been married for 24 years and I wanted to share a little something I have learned during these years. 

God is faithful even when we are not.  

Sometimes we hear these words and I am not sure I ever really believed it until I lived it out in my life.  As a married woman who thought I knew everything and knew nothing of God’s faithfulness until my marriage was crumbling around me and I was deep in depression and sadness. Hiding it all on the inside until I could not anymore. God will bring us to a point and at that point we must decide. Follow His way or follow the worlds way.  In most marriages today I believe following the worlds way is the most popular.  When the road gets tough we bail out.  Now, I know the case may be for some that your spouse makes the wrong choice and leaves the marriage without involving you and you have no control over the decisions of your spouse.  I say this because marriage is commitment between two people and there is a gamete of situations we all face in marrraige but in my situation I focused on fixing me and my relationship with God. My husband was already focusing himself on his relationship with God so together we could find that foundation to stand our marriage on.
 Jesus Christ is that firm foundation.  

I called upon God in prayer.  God showed me His love through prayer and as I read His Word.  I felt the power of God working in my marriage and working on me and my husband.  There is no other love that is as faithful as God’s steadfast love.  Believe that.  Any problems I had with my husband God brought to light.  It was a problem with my perspective on my husband not what my husband did or didn't do.  I learned to seek after God more and more than a fleeting feeling from my husband.  I soon learned my faithfulness to Jesus grew a deeper faithfulness in relationship with my husband. 

Through Jesus we can experience this faithful love and share it with our spouses and others around us 💗  I would love to hear what qualities of God you have been able to share in marriage over the years. 

Bless you friends! .

September Positivity Challenge Day 5

Hello friends! 

It’s day 4 of the positive scripture challenge. 

Today’s verse is Proverbs 17:22

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

‭‭

Doesn’t being around someone upbeat and happy always make you feel better when maybe you are having a bad day?  

I think the key is as a Christian we have joy. It’s that hope that we have in Jesus.  

Our spirit can be weak and sometimes dried up from our life circumstance but drawing upon Jesus to fill us and watered with living water is exactly how we can find joy. 

Truths about God today

•God’s Word is living and active ( Hebrews 4:12)

•God is joy (Galatians 4:22) 

Write this scripture out today meditate on it and I hope you find it soothing to your soul.
