Our hope is in the Lord!
Happy Monday! We are already in July. I hope that everyone is spending time with their friends and family.
When I was growing up, my parents watched the weekly television show, “Hee Haw.” I remember one of the songs they always sang each week was about spreading rumors. Rumors are the worst. The more we listen to rumors the more our minds become filled with negative thoughts! When we focus on the negative…
When we allow negative thoughts to fill our minds, it always comes out of our mouths. Matthew 12:34 states, “…For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”
Everything begins with a thought! The more thoughts of love and kindness, the more we view others as being kind and loving. When things become right on the inside, things will be right on the outside.
Matthew 12:33 states, “Either made the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is recognized and judged by its fruit.”
It all begins with our hearts and mind. When we focus on the love of God and fellowship with Him every day, we are planting good seeds. When we focus on negative thoughts, we are planting bad seeds.
Friends, make time for God in your daily schedule. I can’t survive on a Sunday fill-up. I need God every day.
How are you? Send me an email or message me on Social Media. If you need prayer, I would love to pray for you.

Happy Monday! We celebrated our youngest granddaughter’s third birthday on Saturday. It was a great day! Today I am talking about worry. With all of the chaos in the world, there is so much to worry about. Many of my friends never seem to worry. I have always been a worrier. I remember when my boys were growing up, I worried about so many things that I just couldn’t control. Today, I made a decision: I will stop being worried or anxious about my life!
Matthew 6:25 states, “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?”
When we worry, we are harming ourselves and not obeying God. Worry takes years from our lives.
When we refuse to worry, we have more peace, hope, and confidence. God knows exactly what we need and will provide for us.
So reject worry and trust God! He will never let you down.

Happy Monday! Today, I am so grateful that I can write this blog as a way to encourage everyone! It is hard to know what is right? Right is wrong and wrong is right and it is definitely not always easy to do what is right.
So, how do I know? I was reading Proverbs 14:2 and it says, “Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious in all their ways.” Wow, there is so much truth in this one verse. Let’s take a minute to unpack the truths in this verse.
My parents taught me to respect my elders. I instilled this same lesson of respect in my kids as well. But more importantly, I need to have a reverential fear of God. This doesn’t mean that I fear that God will hurt me. On the contrary, it means that I want to do all I can to please God!
How do we know what is right? I have pondered over this one for many years now. The lines between right and wrong have blurred even more over the last few years.
But first, we must change our thoughts in order to change our behavior. According to God, right-thinking comes first, and right actions follow.
Proverbs 14:6 states, “knowledge comes easily to the discerning.” Discernment comes through waiting on God and thinking about the right actions to take.
Romans 12:2 states, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
Folks, many times in my life I have made wrong decisions because I didn’t wait on God. I followed random thoughts instead of seeking God.
Ask God for help in all of your decisions large or small. Do what God tells you to do!
Friends, thank you for taking time out of your day to read my blog. If you haven’t made Jesus, Lord, and Savior of your life, I invite you to do so. God is a life changer. He saved me and He will do that for you too! It is so simple, just talk to God like you talk to your best friend. Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and come into your heart! He will do it! I encourage you to talk to God right now! Don’t wait!
