Love Daily

   Every time I get to know God a little bit more, I fall in love with Him just a little deeper. His love for me seems to penetrate the shell that I built around my heart a long time ago. He knows that I know when I do something wrong and if I don't immediately repent, He lays it heavy on my heart until I do. See it is not about what I have done, who I am or what I have accomplished in this life or finished. It is about what HE has done, Who HE is and what HE has accomplished and finished.
     Sometimes my pride and selfishness get in the way of the plans that God has for me and my family. It is something that He has to deal with on a daily basis and get my heart right before He can maneuver blessings into my life, or even people and situations out of my life.
    God has blessed me greatly within my life and am so greatly appreciative of His love and guidance. Why does He even love me? Care about me? Or desire to even see me accomplish anything? I have done nothing to deserve His love and acceptance. All things that I have done deserve punishment and death. I deserve separation from a God that is so Holy and good that I am a speck of nothing in His great presence. I am a lowly thing, cowed from One so great. I gave my life to Him a long time ago and daily I have to give my life to Him, because I seem to get in the way.

Lord cast out my selfish desires, my prideful heart and evil wicked ways. Guide me in Your Truth and Your plans. Settle on me humbleness and a lowly heart. Serve me a helping of humility daily and show me that it is never about me, but always about YOU! In Jesus' Holy and Powerful Name...Amen

Love is always in the air

     So today is Valentine's Day and the world suddenly has love for everyone. They all want to celebrate and do something special for their loved one. The question I ask is, why do you need a specific day for this? My writing yesterday had to do with the words that we speak and how they can make or break a person, this falls in line with love also. If you really love someone your mouth will reflect your heart. My husband and I have been together for almost 18 years, and it is a very rare occasion that we actually fight, say harsh words or just argue in general. We respect each other and we always have. We truly are best friends and it has made our marriage and relationship stronger and healthier. He doesn't expect things from me that he himself would not do or say, and I return that favor in kind. Our life and marriage together, while not perfect, reflects our hearts and our values. We love each other and do not want to ever hurt one another.       He lik...

Lets talk about Love

 There are two types of loving yourself. There is being conceited, prideful, and arrogant thinking you’re better than everyone, which is a sin and there is naturally loving yourself. Naturally loving yourself is being thankful of what God made. Scripture never says to love yourself because it is normal to love yourself. No one has to tell you because it just comes naturally. Naturally we love ourselves so Scriptures teaches us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.  On the other hand, Scripture does warn us about self-love. Our focus should not be on ourselves. We must trade self-centered love for agape love. Loving yourself too much shows selfishness and arrogance which God hates. It leads to self-criticism and the sin of boasting. Take your eyes off of yourself and look at the interests of other people. Love others as yourself. If you can't love yourself, how is it then that you can love others? Don’t focus on yourself, instead focus on the awesome love that God has for...

Embarking on a Journey

   I got diagnosed 4 years ago with Hypothyroidism and Iron Deficiency Anemia. The past 4 years has been a huge struggle for me to deal with all the symptoms associated with these 2 things. People think that if you take a pill all those symptoms go away. I thought this. I thought I would take the pill, let it get into my system and then the weight that I gained because of it would just melt away as fast as it came and my memory would be immediately restored. What a joke! It just didn't happen like that at all. It still is something I deal with, but thankfully after taking my own health into my own hands I am finally getting results. Let me start at the beginning of this journey and tell you the background.    Hypothyroidism runs in my family. That doesn't mean everyone will get it though. I spent my whole life being thin. Had myself a nice curvy but thin figure. Until about 38 years of age. Suddenly I had memory problems and thinking problems. I gained 20 pounds in...
