Keep Your Faith

 How many times do we plan, outline, stress, and strive to do everything on our to-do list, yet we still don't get anything accomplished when or how we want?

But when we decide to stop in our tracks, take our time to meditate on whatever is laid on our hearts, & wait on the Lord to guide us in doing the things we need to do...we seem to be able to complete each task with ease.
Sometimes we try to count on ourselves for too much; we often find ourselves mapping out our lives to represent the path that we want to take; striving to do what we feel is good for us. A lot of the time we base what's truly good on our own definition, and end up feeling as if next to everyone else, what we do isn't enough.

Friend, in this life, we will always fall short if we choose to look around to one another.
God can take the smallest bit of what you are able to do & turn it into something useful for His glory. We have no power within ourselves. With His help, our light for Jesus shines bright for all to see.
The best thing to do is to stand still, wait for the Lord to lay something on your heart, take your time doing what you can & allow Him to take care of the rest. That's the true meaning of keeping the faith.
The mark you leave on this world will have nothing to do with how much you did with your life; it's all about trusting God's plan for your life in place of your own. That also means trusting in His timing through it all.

Don't lose heart and always remember to keep your faith.

"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." (Proverbs 16:9 King James Version)

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
