Have you ever held the sort of conversation with someone that absolutely refused to leave your thoughts? One of those that continually lives rent-free within your mind and you aren't quite sure what you should do about it?  Struggles are ever-present in our world today.  Ten minutes spent with someone will make that perfectly clear---whether they were suddenly met with not so great news from their doctor or they are in the midst of financial ruin.  Perhaps their hearts have a spiritual need; many souls live without help but even more of them live without hope.  You can never truly know what someone may be experiencing.  Live as a light in a world that's absolutely filled to the brim with darkness. Live as 'that someone' who loves someone else enough to tell them all about Jesus.  You may meet those whose hearts may initially reject the Gospel but please remember that while it IS your responsibility to plant the seed, Christ is the only one with the ability ...

The Lord placed a little thought on my heart that I felt compelled to share with you this evening: Is there something in your life that feels overwhelming to you at the moment? Are you silently wondering how in the world is it all going to turn out?  The anxieties that come our way are an all too familiar struggle for many--this world encourages us to hang tough and handle all that we are faced with completely on our own.  But as the journey of life continues, we come across many situations that are in the unknown territory, somewhere we have never been.  You learn from your past. You witness a lot in your present. But nothing is known about the future.  And our minds simply cannot handle that.  How many overthinkers are reading this right now?  The world teaches that you possess no strength by placing all of your anxieties into the hands of Christ. The word "overtrusting" is often viewed through their lens as allowing yourself to be naive.  But honest...

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 o...

 One of my all time favorite must haves that I keep with me during these cold (and occasionally snowy and windy) winter months is a trusty warm blanket.  I have a whole linen closet full & feel you can never have enough.  You can also never have enough Jesus. In the bitter coldness of this world, He is a blanket like source of warmth and comfort. A place of rest when our souls become weary; the armor that serves as a shield during those particularly windy storms of life. A source of guidance and truth through it all.  "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him". (Proverbs 30:5) I would never be able to sleep comfortably at night without at least one blanket at night, sometimes two on those REALLY cold nights. Who are you relying on to pull you through those long dark nights? Where is your source of comfort and warmth to be found? Who do you turn to for guidance? "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power o...

  Writing for the Lord fills my heart with SO much joy---although I will admit that I sometimes try to be too technical & that can totally ruin my creative process.  I live for the moments that can be used for His glory.  And tonight, I have a little story and a thought that the Lord placed on my heart to share.  Now, I know this is the question that everyone has on their minds as they're seeing this random photograph of a pair of broken glasses.  Why would I choose to share that?  These aren't my glasses....but I did manage to break my own last night.  Those glasses have sat on my head for a total of six years (I am way past due for an eye examination.) but I will honestly admit that I had been careless with them long before this ever happened. I lived with the worst habit of leaving them lying around in random places, never remembering where they were on any given day.  Until finally, I sat on them and *snap*  It was a clean break. (Com...

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️ Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate?  I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing. They all eventually meet the exact same fate:  Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge.  However, the most agonizing death for a computer is to have a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable.  At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a mu...
