The first that struck me was Isaiah 43:18-19 ( Read more... )

So, very shortly after my last post, God chooses to enlighten me, lol. I went to lunch and thought "Dang...forgot my book, my Bible, ANYTHING to read" and figured I'd be a bit bored during lunch today. Instead, I got a phone call...from someone who has really been changing my mind in regards to my faith. Funny, but he tells me how he is so ( Read more... )

So I think I've been avoiding God... I've been choosing other books instead of my Bible when I have a chance to read (even during lunch time, when I usually get in the Word for 20min). I pray, but it feels more like when I was in the Catholic church...patterned prayer regurgitated rather than truly expressed. I talk to Him some, but it's not the ( Read more... )

Okay. In my quiet time today, I read Psalm 32:5 -- "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". I also recalled the cross-reference of 1John 1:9 -- "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and ( Read more... )

It's funny, but we all knew Momma would have an answer to our "why" -- even if she had to make one up!! ;P But it's true that I've always believed the "Everything happens for a reason." God's world that He made is not one of chaos but of constant, intricate, and superceeding order. We don't always see what that order is, but why would He have ( Read more... )

Funny... Yesterday started out really emotional. Sadness, happiness, overwhelming pride for a loved-one, consternation, gut-wrenching sorrow, bewilderment, a sense of being lost and without a future...it all seemed to bode for a bad day ( Read more... )

I can't believe it was FOUR YEARS AGO today that I had my car accident. Some days it feels like it was barely a few months ago and some days it feels like a lifetime ago. So much has changed. I know I am a very different person than I was them...at least my insides feel like it. And it's not just because I'm missing some, haha! ;D ( Read more... )

I want to fix the world. All the poor relationships, job losses, heartache, grief, school frustrations, and what-have-you that my friends go through (and myself, for that matter)...I want to wave a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo wand and make it all go away! But I can't ( Read more... )

I have been praying for my family's salvation for a VERY long time. I, myself, did not realize that I wasn't really saved until this past year but, once I found Him, I wanted to share Him with those I loved most. I saw Momma searching and, later, embracing Jesus, but I thought it would be a LONG time, if ever, before Daddy accepted Him ( Read more... )

Wow...you will not believe what happened to me last night, lol ( Read more... )
