A Time To Restart



The month of February has absolutely flown by; while the blog has remained largely quiet throughout the last three weeks (aside from an "oldie but goodie" share), the Lord has kept my thoughts continually flowing and I couldn't go without revisiting and finishing out my two-part New Years themed mini series. 

While the first installment dealt with the hearts of unbelievers, the second installment naturally follows up with a message that aims to reach the hearts of believers that are struggling with consistency in their walk with the Lord. I know that journey all too well. I've been there. Done that. 

Are you feeling as though your best made resolutions somehow fell apart before you even had a chance to begin?

The circumstances of life sometimes completely overwhelm the soul and it's SO easy to drift away from the Lord without realizing it if we aren't carefully and consciously involving Him in every part of our daily lives. 

Many find themselves in the midst of seasons that are truly difficult, leaving their hearts incredibly defeated and discouraged. They feel as though the Lord doesn't want to help them. I asked Jesus to pour out my heart into every word that was written & I hope what He has given me will help fellow believers who need some encouragement. 

Maybe you're not living as close to the Lord as you once were.

We are all currently traveling through perilous times. I know so many who are struggling right now. 

Never let your circumstances push you away from Jesus. 
Allow them to pull you towards Him.
Now is the time to restart your journey with Him.

"It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV)

Things To Remember When You Feel Like Quitting On God

Having the opportunity to serve the Lord through writing faith-based short stories and devotionals will forever be my greatest joy.  I have traveled along on the writing journey for about ten years now, yet it would be untruthful to tell you that I've never felt like quitting.  I know I have.  Have you ever felt that way? Are you in a season of distraction or discouragement?  The Lord placed this thought and those questions on my heart because I know that many others who remain faithful in serving the Lord in their own respective way are met with same opposition from Satan.  Sometimes it's difficult for you not to feel distracted and discouraged---as if the joy that you once held in your heart is somehow nowhere to be found. The good news is that while opposition will never go away on this side of Heaven, there are things to remember and tools that we can use to fight off those fiery darts and keep on keepin' on! (One of my all time favorite phrases) Today, I wa...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

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...
