The Essence of Christmas (2018 Christmas Blog)

The Christmas season has come upon us and the year of 2018 is soon to be the newest installment of memories from the past; children are excitedly anticipating opening their presents while adults scramble to purchase last minute stocking stuffers & seemingly forgotten dinner menu items. The world these days chooses to commercialize Christmas so much so that the majority of people seem to overlook the true essence and reason for the season: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the most important reason for the Christmas holiday; He died on the cross for our sins and will save whosoever calls upon Him, acknowledges that they are a sinner and in need of a Savior, and will accept Him into their heart and trust in Him for salvation. I am so grateful for my salvation, because I know my life would be nothing without His watchful eye and loving care.

We all tend to set our sights on 'climbing to the top' however the world allows us to from time to time, whether it be at our workplace, in our aspirations, our marriages, o...

Let Him Lead You

Molly's Zone has always held a special significance in my heart & the creation of the blog itself has always been my favorite blessing story to tell to anyone who will listen. A month has passed since my last entry, and that truly bothers me. The last few postings I feel were not done with true power or true heavenly light in mind. Writing became a chore that I eventually stopped doing because of the ugly demon that has consumed me for the longest year of my life. Anxiety. I have battled this monster for over ten years, and I have to say this year has been the hardest fall. Luckily, depression was not mixed into it this time. I just became this tangled web of health anxiety, overwhelming stress, and OCD thoughts. A psychologically toxic mix. You know what always has the power to pull me out of such times? Jesus. Through prayer, I was led to watch a past church service that truthfully spoke to my heart; I found myself wanting to ask my readers this question? How man...
