What I Did On Christmas (2017)



Christmas time has come and gone, and as we are coming around the corner to another year...I can't really let "Molly's Zone" finish out 2017 without telling how my Christmas celebrations went. The two days were spent with my Mom, as we cooked Christmas Eve dinner together, (most of it the day before because she had to work a bit on Christmas Eve). I always love spending time with my mom, and the holidays are always so peaceful and fun for both of us.

We opened gifts Christmas Eve night, and my most favorite present was a set of purple luggage. I only had one  little suitcase that I took to Spokane with me in October, so now it is nice that I will have a full set to bring along on my next adventure (and, plus it's purple...have I mentioned that is my favorite color?)

I also got a lot of nice new clothes and jewelry, but most of all I just enjoyed being with family. Mom and I usually have a small family dinner, but that is perfectly fine with us. If there's anything my mom has ever taught me, one of her greatest life lessons has always been that less is more. She has always made sure that I never go without, but that I also never stop being grateful and thankful for everything I have. I love you mom. I am so appreciative of the life I live and all of the success and happiness that 2017 has allowed me to experience. I only hope my journey continues in 2018

Thank you all for supporting "Molly's Zone" for the past fifteen months. Writing has been such a blessing for me and has given me a support system in life that I never had before. In writing that, I mean that I am so grateful for the people that I've met and my fellow writing friends that I've met through various platforms. You all are my support system, Thank you. A thank you also goes out to my family for cheering me on also!

That's a wrap for 2017! We are on post number seventy eight! So exciting! See you in 2018! Lots of fresh new material coming your way!

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...

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...
