Having a clear mind

Things are so crazy

  Everything that's going on right now is devastating and scary to think about. With the tornadoes that hit Tennessee and the coronavirus confirmed in Tennessee now. Not just this though, everyday life is just plain old hard sometimes.  Makes me wonder and think. How will things turn out? We are not promised certain days or even minutes on this Earth.... But, we can claim promises from God if we will accept them. The best promise from God is salvation. Believing that Jesus is your Lord and Savior is the best thing that you could ever accept. John 3:15 that whosoever believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish, but have eternal life. That is the first and most important promise. Another wonderful promise of God is Luke 12:24 consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? God created us with his hands and breathed the breath of life into us. He only used his voice t...

Waiting and wondering

  Waiting on God's answer can be so hard. I am one of the most impatient people there is. It doesn't matter if it's good news or bad news. The timing seems to never be right while I am waiting on God's answer. Here is the thing though. God already has it all figured out and, knows what is best for us. (Even when it's not the answer we want.)  God doesn't make mistakes. I have to think back in a certain time in my life when God's ways are best and His timing was just right. I also look in God's word for reminders of His answer the timing and how he doesn't fail. I may fail as a human, others may fail me, but God doesn't. 2 Corinthians 1:9 says But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: verse 10 says Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;. When Jesus died on the cross everyone thought that was the end for hi...

Women at the well

       Last night at church women of the well came and shared their testimonies with all of us.  It was such a blessing to hear what God can do and is doing everyday. For those that don't know what women at the well is it is a nonprofit group that helps women get out of bad situation by showing God's great love. They pour into these women God's love in many different ways. Help with addiction, abuse, anxiety, and others things. All these women felt like they had no hope but, then God helped them to see that they needed Him and they took that leap of faith to Him.     There is a story in the Bible about a woman at the well. It talks about this woman that came to the well at mid day to get her water. Coming mid day was the hottest part of day. She would come when no one else would come to the well. No one wanted to be around her because they knew what kinda person she was. She was one that had lost in 5 marriages and then started stealing someone...

Forgiveness

  I can't even count how many times God has forgave me. I have messed up so many times, everyday. Sometimes it's not on purpose and, sometimes it is. There was even a time in my life when I would say to God just let me "live my life a little" and I would come back to Him. That was such a mistake on my part. I know I missed out on blessing that I could have had. If I would have been following God... But I am a selfish person sometimes. I get angry, short with others, and many other things as well. I am not perfect. I mess up. The good thing is though, God still loves me and forgives me when I truly ask for forgiveness.   Once I ask for forgiveness I can 100% trust that God has forgiven me. He doesn't hold it over my head. Now the devil tries to remind me of all my mistakes. God won't though. God will forgive us when we come to him with repentance. He wants to because of Jesus and, what Jesus did for this whole world. Jesus is the one that gave it all so we ca...

The Lord knows how to lead.

When i have a longing for God and His ways, but don't know how to take the next step for my life. That's when God steps in and leads if I look for his ways.     There is a book called Fervent written by Priscilla Shirer. It has helped me grow so close to God. It's a book about prayer. Now God knows my heart and what I want out of this life. And He knows my prayers even when I can't put words together cause of a broken heart or just not knowing how to deal with certain situations. He knows. This book really lays out how to pray to God though.  Fervent means having or displaying passionate intensity. When I pray fervently in prayer I can see things change. My whole relationship with God changed. I am truly so thankful for this book. I have been seeing myself change and growing closer to God. I have been seeing prayers answered. God is good and wants to lead in the right direction. It just takes a listening and willing heart.  Shortly after reading that I was asked ...

Why me?

Sometimes I ask God why me? Why do I have to go through this hard trail or task. Why did I lose two babies. Why did my brother have to leave this world so soon. In my mind I just couldn't understand it. I had always planned on taking care of Josh when my parents couldn't anymore. When I lost the first baby the doctors told me that the life just wasn't able to make it outside of the womb. That it probably had some sort of disability. In my mind though I knew I had what it took to take care of someone with a disability though. Which is love. God knows my heart and how much I love my brother and my babies. That didn't slip his mind. Even though I doubted Him on this. It's hard to trust God when you have a broken heart. But his ways are bigger than ours. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-...

Going through a phase.

   When I was 8 months pregnant with Ozella everything was hard. I had every problem that I had before with Luke, the shots I had to take once a week, keeping check on my diabetes, sickness, and soreness. I also had my hips pop out of place. Which was horrible pain. Getting up and down was almost impossible. I had to go to physical therapy 3 times a week. Just so I could walk.   During this time Justin had been selected to become a Chief in the Navy. This process is a very trying time for those that go through this. They have to go through very many physical, emotional, and intellectual tests for a month. Day and night they work so so hard. Justin did such a great job on everything he had to accomplish during this time. He is such a inspiration to me. Me on the other hand, I was so nervous and scared to start the whole process. I knew this meant i would really have to step up at the house and make sure everything was taken care of while he had to go through all of this....
