Happy Monday! I hope that your weekend was fantastic. This week I am talking about something that I learned the hard way. The minute I realized it, it was a life-changer.
The mind is a tricky thing. Our actions are a direct response to how we think. For example, Proverbs 23:7 states, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” If we think negatively, we will have a negative life. If we purposely think positively, we will have a positive life. The minute I realized this, it changed my life.
Friends, it isn’t always easy to think positively. The Devil is a liar and he tells us things about ourselves, people, and circumstances that are not true. As soon as we wake up the Devil fills our minds with suspicions, doubts, fears, wonderings, and reasonings.
“For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but against despotisms, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly” Ephesians 6:12.
If we dwell on these thoughts, we become weak, and if we aren’t careful we lose our hope which is right where the Devil wants us. “HOPELESS”
Being positive in a negative situation shows that we trust God to bring about good. In Romans 4:18-20, Abraham didn’t ignore the bad but he trusted God and had hope in faith.
Hope is the force that keeps us steady. Hebrews 6:19 tells us, “we have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor…” Just reading this verse gives me hope. Friends, this is life-changing news!
No matter what you are facing today, don’t give up! Place your hope and faith in God!
Hello friends! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! My husband and I spent some time with our granddaughters last week. It was an amazing week. However, I confess I am feeling a bit weary.
In 2020, we had the lockdown. We are well into 2021 and many people are still in lockdown and feeling a bit weary.
Can we get a break for a minute?
I confess I am feeling a bit weary and it would be easier to stay in bed on most days. Life is a struggle!
It seems most people are feeling a bit weary and struggling with something. If we aren’t careful, our struggles can literally consume us.
Over the last year, I have experienced the truth of Isaiah 40:29. “He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might. He increases strength.”
When I am tired, the Holy Spirit gives me the energy to keep going. I have hopes and an expectation that no matter what comes my way, something good is going to happen.
God has called us to be kind and loving toward others even when we don’t feel like it. Even if that is simply putting a smile on our faces and staying positive.
If you are tired, ask and trust that God will give you the strength you need for the day.

Hello friends! Last weekend we celebrated my youngest son’s twenty-fifth birthday. I can’t believe he is already twenty-five. When my boys were younger, I was a single mom. Most days, I spent my time surviving not thriving. It was hard but we made it. The one thing that got me through the hardest of days, was knowing that God could never love me more even when I made mistakes.
We use the word love all of the time but we struggle with the true meaning of love. Love is not a feeling or a nice word, it is the way you treat people.
If we truly understood the depth of God’s love for us we would never be afraid to love others. Loving the way God loves us means you love when you get nothing in return. That is a tough one!
We spend too much time worrying about ourselves. It is so easy to get in the “what about me” mindset.
John 13:34, “I am giving you a new commandment, that love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another.”
The world is desperate for real love so it isn’t hard to find someone who needs love.
1 Corinthians 14:1, “Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire love...”
Make it your goal today to pursue God’s love and then give it away by blessing someone!
There is a new song that I have been listening to over and over this week by Elevation Worship. It is truly and amazing song so I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!
I’m already loved, I’m already chosen. I know who I am. I know what you’ve spoken.
