Seek Him Early

 Breakfast is an essential part of your day. I was always the person who woke up late, grabbing something quick, sweet & without bulk to count as my morning meal. I can't help but wonder how many of us automatically start our day this way without even giving it a second thought?

I researched some benefits of choosing to eat breakfast and the main ones I found were: you have a healthier heart, better concentration, & a more energetic start to your day.
Take this example & apply it to the start of your own day & your relationship with Jesus. What is the first thing you do every single morning? How early do you wake up?

An early start promotes better concentration.

"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth". (Colossians 3:2 King James Version)
When we start our day with healthy choices, we concentrate better in everything we do. Spending time with Jesus becomes less rushed, & our prayers are more heartfelt. We share more of us with Him.

Spending more time in prayer sets an energetic tone for you throughout the day. I have found that I get more accomplished than I would on my own on any given day. I live my days more abundantly. I care even more about the people I love. I give my all to my passions, namely writing & piddiling around my house. I've known seasons where I've felt burn out something fierce.
Lastly and most importantly, breakfast is essential because it provides you with a healthier heart. That healthy heart will lead you to do more for God than you ever imagined. A healthy heart for Him is vital. You can't be who He desires for you to be without it.
“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” (Proverbs 8:17 King James Version)
Don't settle for skipping meals & allowing junk food in your diet. It's unhealthy. Whatever you put into your body is what will come of it. The same could be said for your relationship with Jesus. Let Him help you start your day off right with a nutritious breakfast that includes a conversation with Him.

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10:10 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...
