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 likes to do things for me for Valentine's day and I like to do things for him, but that is just another day to do something special for each other. God has changed us so much since we have given our lives to the Lord, I was saved first and then my husband was saved a few months later. It has made our bond stronger and our marriage now has a faithful solid foundation. Some would say we were meant to be together, and I say while that may seem true, it has taken hard work and dedication to one another, friendship that is protected from everything, we don't share personal things with others and our hearts are in tune with our family and each other. God has shown us love through each other. Our own family sometimes says hateful things about us (mostly mine), behind our backs, and to us and we used to let it get to us, but through our relationship with Christ we see that it is the Enemy trying to infiltrate our lives and our relationship. My relationship with my husband is the strongest bond I have ever had with someone and I protect that like a military fort. Guard your heart and don't give your love to just anyone. Do something kind and sweet for your loved one daily. Speak peace and love over them daily. Mine took me a few days ago to my favorite restaurant, because he knows how much I can't stand crowds, and bought me rose plants instead of cut roses so they would last longer. Yesterday for lunch I took my children to one of their favorite restaurants, because they too are my valentines and I wanted to do something special for them. Today I am making the hubby a pudding pie and a nice dinner and I bought him a movie he has been wanting. All in all I am trying to say I don't need a special day for my love. Our love is not based on the gifts we buy one another, but on our life together, the way we speak to one another and the way our hearts beat in tune with one another. May the Lord continue to bless us.

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...
