Fed up
I feel fed up and so annoyed. Looking at posts from three years ago where I was struggling with the same things. I still blurt out stupid stuff, over-think, cause conflict (without meaning to, but I still do, and the results are often very detrimental to many relationships), judge, misspend money ( Read more... ) -
Back to Basics
I've way overdrawn my account AGAIN. My checking account, that is. My confession: I've overdrawn my account every pay period for the past five months. That's ten times in five months!

Faith to Joy to Faith to Joy
I know I've quoted a lot from Piper, but this is just so beautifully relevant (isn't that just how God works? He gives us Scripture and messages that are perfectly relevant - He does this all the time, we just have to be paying attention!)...
"Joy in God is both the root and the fruit of faith. We find the hidden treasure first. Then we venture all ( Read more... ) -
Come and See what Love has Done!
Yesterday I fasted!!! I know, an ADD, formerly food-addicted girl fasted an entire day - and a day that lasted from 6am- late!!! God is so good!
It wasn't something I felt like I had to do, nor was I trying to get something from God. It was just an idea God put in my mind the previous evening, which was like this overflowing joy from Heaven!
See, ( Read more... )
