HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE IN 5 EASY STEPS
Unless our soul is well – we will always remain unwell. I firmly believe that we all need Jesus in our lives. He came into a broken world to save a broken people. Think of yourself as a vase. When we are born we are a vase with cracks and some missing pieces. When we accept Jesus he is the missing pieces and the glue that makes us whole. Now, as a complete vase we are able to hold the abundance of love, joy, and peace he pours into us. But more than that – he fills us so much that we end up pouring out onto all those around…

Are you sick of feeling off? Tired? Sluggish? Like the struggle is never ending? Do you feel like no matter what you do you will never reach your wellness goals? I hear ya, sister, and I am here to help! Feeling your best comes down to more than the physical wellness/fitness of our bodies.

Heck, it can even feel like a hindrance – just another thing taking away from your sleep and…

Purposeful passion.
Do you feel as though you have been called to something….or not? Maybe you have questioned if it is – in fact – a calling. Did you hear Him right? Or have you thought “there are already so many people doing the same thing…why could He possibly need you to do it too?” Friend, I’ve been there. I have so many things I am passionate about. Different seasons however, bring different passions. I have felt discouraged, unmotivated, uninspired. There have been times when I too have wondered if what I have to say will make any difference at all. Can I encourage you (and myself) in this? I just love…

God is perfect…so we don’t have to be.
Yes, you heard that right! Did you know that you are made the way you are for a reason? God made you to bring Him glory. So, when he created you he gave you everything you needed to accomplish this work. You don’t have to strive. You just have to accept. Accept who He made you to be, where He has placed you, and how He has equipped you. This rabbit race we are in is not his intention or desire for us. We need to stop the cycle. We need to rest. Rest in HIS goodness. Eventually, because we are made new in Christ, we will make those decision…

The memory that won’t fade.
*Beginning Note: This has been one of the toughest stories to share…EVER! But I knew that it needed to be shared in hopes of helping someone else who may be facing this same situation or one like it. Or for someone who may not know what to believe anymore. Thanks for reading. It’s not always on my mind but there are times when the images appear as if it all happened yesterday. Since it is a topic more discussed recently within politics it seems the images are with me daily. No matter what I do, I can’t run away from them. Not that I try – as it seems that…

The path less traveled.
It seemed like a nice day for a walk to me…. My dog, Nina, thought it was. Although, she thinks every minute of every day is good for a walk. 22 degrees and snow blowing all around…what’s not to love, right?! Question: Who else here get’s frustrated when they have to share a trail with others? Be honest! I don’t like to share a trail. It’s not because I am that much of a hermit (or whatever word you would use) but I like to let Nina off her leash. And, if you know Nina, you know I have somehow turned her into an “introverted” dog. Either that or she…

Uprising.
Funny story – I had a whole post already written before this one. All I had left to do were edits, picture inserts, and posting. And then…I deleted it.😱 “Why would you do that?!” I know! Tell me about it! At the time the topic came to mind for the other post I knew it was God trying to work something out in me. I thought he had finished that work and I was ready to go. Apparently I was wrong. I believe he stalled me from posting that previous topic for a specific reason. That reason came in a dream. (Yes, God can speak through dreams…see below for just…
