Hello friends! Are you going through some struggles? It seems to be with everyone. I was listening to a podcast and one of the things that stood out to me was whatever you are going through, don’t give up. Friends, don’t give up, help is on the way!
You might be wondering as I am at times in my life, why we all have so many problems. It seems we just get past one problem and another one pops up.
It is so hard to have joy in the midst of struggles. Where is the joy?
A few days ago, I passed a vegetable and fruit stand on the side of the road. I turned my car around and went back to see what the lady was selling. She had plums and squash, yummy! In the course of our conversation, she said she used to sell at the farmer’s market but due to health reasons she had to stop. She said she couldn’t even can her fruits and vegetables like she did before. So, she decided to put up a tent and sell at her house.
She didn’t give up!
John 16:33 says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Friends you may be going through something today and you feel like giving up. Don’t give up, help is on the way.
God is our help when we have trouble. Look up because He will help you get through whatever you are going through.
Hello Friends and happy Monday! I hope your week has started off great. I have often thought of Mondays as days to reset. Do you enjoy Mondays? This week I am talking about how life is filled with so many amazing things!
Lately, I have been doing a lot of thinking and talking to God.
One thing I love about the Spring season is the many beautiful treasures that God provides such as the wild flowers on the side of the road. I took a short road trip over the weekend and I was so happy to see the bluebonnets in bloom.
Do you enjoy the bluebonnets? What is your favorite wildflower?
Life is filled with so many amazing things!
Luke 12:27, “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”
When we take time to admire all of the wonders that God has provided, we would realize how much He loves us. Just think about that!
Make time for God not only in His word but in the beauty that He provides.
Talk to you soon.

Happy Spring and happy Monday! Friends, I can’t believe we are already in the Spring season. Spring is probably my favorite season of the year. Life doesn’t seem to slow down. Today, I am sharing tips on staying focused in the busyness of life!
1 Peter 5:8 states, “Be sober, be alert and cautious at all times, that enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
How do we stay focused in a busy world?
Distractions are everywhere. Just when I think I’ve set an appointment with God, something comes up.
Spending time with God takes a purposeful effort. Once you make a decision to spend time with God, the enemy will throw all kinds of distractions at you.
Here are a few tips to help you stay focused.
- Find the time of day that you are at your best. Morning is the perfect time for you to spend time with God if you are a morning person. If you enjoy staying up late, make time for God then.
- Make an appointment with God and find a quiet place. I didn’t see the importance of this until a few years ago.
- Keep a notebook or journal handy. I keep a notebook on my nightstand at all times. I also carry a notebook with me when I go out.
- A little is better than nothing. We think that spending time with God means spending 2 hours in prayer. That is not true. If you have the 2 hours then that is great. If you have 30 minutes then make the most of the time you have.
- You are never too busy. We tell ourselves that we are just too busy to make time for God. We make our own schedule. Make time for God!
I believe, if we would implement these tips on staying focused in the busyness of life, we would see a big change.
God help me to not get distracted by time wasters!
