It is easy to get caught up in our worries especially now with all the crazy things going on in the world. When my kids were little, I worried over things that now don’t even matter. Sometimes we are so burdened with worries we feel we can’t move forward. This past weekend we celebrated the graduation of my son. Cameron set a goal and stuck with it. It was not always easy, especially during a pandemic. However, he focused on the journey and remained hopeful. Focus on today and keep a positive attitude. When God tells us, we can do ALL things through Him, we can count on it. I have seen it and know it’s true.

From the heart!
On Sunday evenings, we would eat a quick supper before heading off to the Sunday night church service. Lunch was usually a pot roast with potatoes and carrots. She would cut up the roast and we would have sandwiches. On Sundays, mom would also fix a dessert. One of my favorites was the lemon icebox pie, especially in the Summer. Since I tried Key Lime pie, I am now hooked on the tart and sour flavors of cream cheese and lime mixed together. If you don’t have key lime juice, then no worries just use lime juice. Through this time at home due to the Covid-19, I am keeping it simple all day, every day. I pray that you are making memories with your family and making the best of the time that you have together because life is short.
Food for the soul!
“In the same sense, the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it boasts of great things.” James 3:5
James 3:5 shows us how something as simple as our words can cause some major problems. When we put ourselves down, it causes us to live with a negative mindset. Words can help us or hurt us. It is important to ask God to help us chose our words wisely. Blessings!

Hello friends! What do you spend your time doing? I admit on many days, I feel like hiding away in my house from all of the chaos. When I do go out, I see the fear in the eyes of people. Fear is a liar that grips your soul if you let it. Enter into rest, God’s got this!
What are you afraid of?
When my kids were little, I had so many worries and fears. I admit that even now that they are grown, I still have the tendency to worry. I find when I spend my time worrying, my worries turn into anxiety and eventually I start to fear.
One thing God is teaching me…
is how to cast my care. That is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done because it goes against my grain. However, 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
God is telling us to…
rest because He has got this. You might be saying how can I rest when I have so many problems? Believe me, I have said that so many times. Every time I start to worry, I just whisper to God, “you got this.”
Focus on…
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable” (Philippians 4:8).
Go ahead and enjoy your journey because the God who created all things has got it all in control!
