Yesterday was our Elizabeth's K-Building Field Day.  She was so excited the night before you would have thought Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny was coming because she couldn't go to sleep.  Yesterday when we woke up the temperature outside read 58 degrees, no sun out and it looked like it might rain.  They were set up to have waterslides!!  On our drive down there she said, "Mom, it is such a beautiful day outside."  That's when God spoke to me.   I had prayed all morning for it not to rain their day out, for it to warm up and the sun to come out.  But h ..read more

 Children are a blessing from above.  Only borrowed and not really belonging to us.  They are given to us to care for and God trust us to raise them accordingly.  To provide them with knowledge and righteous ways.  To instill faith, trust, mercy and grace deep within their souls.  To be a shoulder to cry on when their hearts are heavy, to be a listening ear when they need to talk and to be there for them always.  I pray each day that we are at least getting some of this right in our daily walks.  Short blog today...Field Day with my baby girl!  I've ..read more

Don't pretend to be anything that you aren't.  Don't pretend to be someone you aren't.  Don't pretend to have things that you don't.  Don't pretend to be okay when you aren't.  Don't pretend to be something that you aren't.  Don't pretend and put on a show for anyone.  Be yourself.  Be you.  Be your beautiful self.  Be your beautiful unique, different self.   If today isn't a good day, that's okay.  No make-up, throw something comfy on and a ball cap and go with it, but pray.  If today is a good day, that's great.  Wear som ..read more

You reap what you sow.  Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow.  But eventually you will reap exactly what you sow.  If you aren't kind, forgiving and respectful it will eventually come back to you.  If you do evil it to shall eventually come back to you, but it may not come in the same form that you performed it.  Everything always has a way of coming back around.   Today let's focus on helping others with their harvest instead of destroying it!!  Be Kind!!

Regrets and mistakes don't define us.  They allow us to focus more on life after our downfalls.  The person we become after our mistakes is what we have to focus on.  Focus on a new you, a better you and know that failure is just a single event.  It doesn't have to define the rest of your life.  One downfall or even many doesn't mean there can't be a better YOU in the future!!

 A Pastor of a old country church met a boy.  He met this boy at a time in their lives where they were both young.  Even before the Pastor was a Pastor.  In fact the boy was in kindergarten.  Throughout the years the boy and the Pre-Pastor kept having situations that brought them together and they held many conversations through the years.  But the boy chose a different path that lead him to drugs, alcohol and a life of partying.  Until one day he chose to make a phone call to a relative saying he needed a change and couldn't live this life anymore. &nbs ..read more

 A life full of forgiveness and salvation is dirt cheap for us because Jesus Paid It All.  No it doesn't come easy but he also promised to help with that.  He provides us with grace, mercy and strength.  All we have to have is faith and trust in him.   A belief that we can be cleansed of our wicked ways and sinful pasts and trust that he will see us through the tough days.  He paid the price for all of us, for all of this because he knew we would need help.  He knew we would have temptations, set backs and trials.  He knew Satan would tempt us, overtake ..read more

Don't give your past the power to choose your future.  Your past doesn't define you anymore.  Your past doesn't describe you anymore.  Your past doesn't make decisions for you anymore.  Your past is exactly that....your PAST.  It's behind you and not ahead of you.  Past means it's over.  Past means you defeated it. Past means you conquered it.  Past means you beat it.  YOU DID IT!! Don't look back.  Don't dwell in it.  Don't dwell on it.  Look up and forward.  The future is what lies ahead of you!! G. P. W. L.

Know your worth.  It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of your worth.  It doesn't matter what they think of your job, your home, your vehicle or any other possessions.  Because they are just that...possessions....material things.  Material things that you can't take with you.  Know your self worth.  What you mean to yourself is what matters.  How you feel you treat others is what matters.  How you feel you care for others is what matters.  How you feel you care for your family is what matters.   At the end of each day if you knew it ..read more

Only you know what you do behind closed doors.  And it's your business and no one else's.  But what about your children?  Are they seeing what they are growing up to believe is how things are suppose to be?  And I'm not just speaking of drugs and alcohol.  I'm speaking of verbal abuse, physical abuse, hatred for family members, jealousy in your heart.  All of these things are things that we as parents instill in our kids at home.  It's not just things that are taught at school.  We have to instill good things in them at home to or everything that their t ..read more
