The Greatest of Days (Salvation Anniversary Post)

 

Nineteen years ago today, I accepted Christ as my personal Savior and it truly was the best decision I have ever made.

The journey with Jesus by my side continues to be nothing short of incredible--the conquering of each obstacle, and every moment of joy has only been made possible through the power of His faithful presence in my story.

The last two years in particular have been wonderful--even though I am thankful for every moment I've known Him, I have just felt closer to Him since the completion of my Running Home stories for some reason, and I will always be thankful for the opportunity I was given to write them all.

To think I never even wanted to be a writer in the first place--choosing to answer His call and to follow His perfect plan for my life was the second best decision I could have made.

Blogging and storytelling has been a joy, and serving Him in that way provides so much purpose, and it's unfathomable that Molly's Zone will celebrate its eighth anniversary in September. The time flies when you're having fun!

I have always kept Romans 8:28 as my life verse, because it is always a personal reminder of God's continual and careful work behind the scenes--the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Every season has its purpose, and ALL circumstances can and will work together for your good and His glory.

Choosing to trust in and follow Christ will never steer you in the wrong direction--yield to His will and your heart will experience the greatest sense of peace it could ever know.

God has a wonderful purpose and a perfect plan for your life--all you need to do is trust Him. 


"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 KJV)

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...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

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...
