The Ultimate Resolution (Revised Reissue 2026)

 You will never be comfortable with change until you become uncomfortable in your mess. 


It's not unusual for most to find themselves laser-focused on personal goals or resolutions for the new year. I have felt the nudge to write a few words on the subject of change and how uncomfortable it can make you feel. Especially in the beginning. It will never not be worth it though. 


I couldn't help but think of anyone and everyone who may be trying to function without a purpose or a plan. Those whose lives are stuck in a perpetual state of emptiness. 


Do you know someone who fits this description?


Entertaining the idea of change can honestly be unsettling. Even to the strongest individual. 


But, you'll always need Jesus. And if you've never met Him personally, you've not yet known the difference He can make. So many refuse to accept Him due to the shame they carry concerning their sin. It's never the easiest thing to admit the need for His help, either. 


Maybe you're in a place of hiding away within your mess because you have ultimately decided not to deal with it. Maybe you've never felt good enough. 


Jesus will forever be willing to come up into the worst of your mess; no matter what you've done or where you've been. You will never be worthy of His amazing grace, but He felt that you were worth dying for on that cross. 

 You will always be precious in His sight.

If you haven't yet trusted in Him for salvation, everything about your life will remain and come to an eventual close as a dead-end situation. The matter of your eternal residence needs to be dealt with right now as tomorrow is never promised. 


If you were to pass away tonight, are you 100% sure that you would be in Heaven? There's only one way to know without a doubt and that is by placing faith in Jesus and accepting Him as your personal Savior. 


"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)








The Bible Way to Heaven


We Are All Sinners: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)


We Were Sent A Savior: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)


We Were Supplied A Gift: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)


We Can Simply Call: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

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...
