Happy Monday! We are now into August and Summer is almost over. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some cooler weather and we need rain badly. This week I am talking about the truth! So many things are happening around us. But, there is one thing I know to be true!
The internet has made spreading ideas and thoughts so easy. When we have a question, we go to the internet to look it up. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to find information so quickly. However, just because I can find it quickly doesn’t make it true.
One thing that I have been thinking about lately is the truth. Many people say things have changed so what was truth many years ago is not necessarily the truth today. I do agree that some things have changed over the years.
However, Isaiah in the Bible testified many years ago, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah 40:8.
One thing I know to be true is God’s word never changes.
What does this mean? We can go to God’s word and believe in His promises. We can trust that God will take care of us and will always be with us.
Focusing on these truths will get us through any storm we face.
Friends, I would like to pray for you today. If you are feeling worried or anxious one of my new favorite songs that I listen to is by Cody Carnes. I hope you will take a few minutes to listen.

Happy Monday! I’ve been off for a few weeks and its great to be back. I hope that you are having a great Summer. I can’t believe Summer is almost over and school will be starting soon. This week, I am talking about who is determining your worth and value. What are you believing about yourself?
Colossians 1:13-14 states, “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
I love how it says that God has “rescued us from the dominion of darkness.” He has already done this for us. God has given us so many gifts and I want to focus on one today.
Worth and Value
God sent His son to die on the cross for us. He loves us so much! We were bought with a price, the blood of Jesus Christ.
When I feel I don’t have any value, I think about what Jesus did for me.
Friends, you are valued. Jesus loves you so much. When you feel down, focus on what God has done for you. He has given us so much.

Happy Independence Day! Wow, I can’t believe we are already in July. This week is not only the 4th of July but my parent’s anniversary on the 5th. I have always loved the month of July. However, it can be hard to celebrate the holidays when you are going through some trials. The bottom line, being rooted gets you through!
Over the last few weeks, I have been reading about inner strength. On days when I don’t feel good, I pray for God to give me strength.
However, the more that I study the Word of God, I am becoming stronger. The bottom line, being rooted gets you through!
Colossians 2:6-7, “So then, just as you received Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.“
Let’s dissect these verses just a bit. I like the part about being “rooted and built up in Him.” Paul is referring to the inward self. We tend to worry more about our outward self. In fact, we spend more time and money making our outward self look the best but forget about your inward self.
Are you spending time on your inward self?
The more time we spend in the Word and talking to God, our roots become more and more grounded. I don’t know about you, but I want to be grounded in Christ.
Also, having the right mindset will help us get through the toughest of times. I know this one is a tough one. It is so easy to give into the negativity of the world. I catch myself doing this almost every day.
But when we choose to stay positive and joyful, it makes the day go so much better.
Don’t let these challenges steal your joy. Bottom line, it’s important to stay rooted in the Word of God! Because the knowledge that you gain from the Word will make you stronger as long as you apply it.
Friends, I hope that you are spending time with your friends and family today. My husband is actually off today so we will spend time together.
Until next time! Have a wonderful week. I have other blogs if you want to check out my website at kamzinsser.com.
