Living With Intention (New Years 2023)

 I've stopped and started my Instagram account on more occasions than I care to admit; I kept it going for several years until I lost interest. I don't know, it just didn't seem like the place for me anymore. 


The time we're living in now is truly one for the ages: the presence of social media influencers and the love of self has taken over and watching it all unfold has grown and matured my heart in more ways than one. 


Please don't misunderstand me. I love encouraging accounts or those videos that cause a good belly laugh. I love those Insta posts that can make my day better. I follow several online blogs and puppy accounts myself. 


I wanted to come back to Instagram with the best of intentions. I don't know if I will keep it up or not. I'm still praying about it. I want to be absolutely sure my heart is fully committed to the Lord. So far, I am okay with this new beginning. (My account settings will remain private).


There are so many influencer accounts that are obviously viewer-hungry. To gain a certain number of followers guarantees you nothing but an endless search for the world's approval.


I don't want to be that way, and with Molly's Zone, that has never been my goal. I love the Lord & I am so thankful for His grace and mercy that I have never deserved. 


I want to continue on into 2023 with the full intention of serving Jesus with my whole heart; sharing all about who He is through the creation of my blogs and short stories.


Whatever journey you embark on in the new year, commit every second of it to Jesus and to the furthering of the Gospel. 


Take that leap of faith & never cease to pray. You never know where He will lead you. 


"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." (Psalm 37:5 KJV)

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...

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...

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...
