Get Up and Go

 

Have you ever needed to complete a task but couldn't find the motivation to do it?

I have easily lost whole afternoons by either choosing to look down at the ever-evolving craziness of my newsfeed or by simply sitting and watching what's going on outside my dining room window while drifting deeper into thought. 

It's not unusual to become unmotivated during times of difficulty or uncertainty.

It's natural for our hearts to lose strength when the going gets tough. It may even seem easier to try and hide away from it all.

In writing this today, my greatest reason for sliding in this thought on apathy is to encourage others to continue pressing forward for the cause of Christ.

Because there are countless souls that still need Him. Those that are lost and in search of something more than life on Earth could ever offer them.

You may very well be the only chance that someone has to learn about Jesus and the power of His saving grace.

Whenever I am in an apathetic state, I always try to remember this little thought.

It keeps me motivated, moving, and on fire for the Lord. I could never do one thing without that gentle loving push from my Savior.

We all need a little reminder of what it's all about, sometimes. Never allow the coldness of this world to stiffen your spirit. 

Always remember to keep your eyes upon Jesus. By His strength, you shall not be moved.

"I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." (Psalm 16:8 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...

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...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
