Unbroken





Today, I finally got to see the movie, "Unbroken" with my friend, Jo Ann. This movie, touched my heart in a special and profound way. I left the theater wanting to lift up a block of wood, put it over my head and scream from the bottom of my lungs! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!  Here's the thing, we will always face trials, it's part of growing in our faith. And there may be times, you wonder how much longer Lord? But try to find the joy in your trials, because God is in control.

I love true story films, especially faith based ones. Such a refreshment to my spirit of who God is. He is, a loving God who forgives, saves, heals, comforts, provides, equips and so many other things. When you may feel like He's not working in your situation, He really is, because He's faithful. I enjoy to see the end of the movies, where they show the true identities of the persons the film was created from. Mr. Louie Zamperini, was a great example of not giving up.

I'm personally thankful that I have Jesus and strong accountability who keep me running my race with joy, even in those moments I may want to throw in the towel and quit into a state of depression. I'm loved to the cross unconditionally and shared Gods truth, gently. I implore you to always seek God first and foremost. Reach out to a trusted confidant and always stay connected to God. 

I loved this quote in the move; “If you can take it, you can make it.” Keep going. Keep running. And if you fall, get up again. Because if you never quit — if you never stop — then you can never really lose." 

After listening to this quote, the Lord brought to remembrance the following promises He has given to us in running our race...

Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 1 Corinthians 9:24

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us- Hebrews 12:1

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us- Philippians 3:14

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me- Philippians 4:13

Enjoy this journey called life, serving Jesus! 

Zechariah 4:6... Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. #unbroken

You. Are. Loved. More. Than. You. Know.

You. Are. Loved. More. Than. You. Know.  Have you ever felt unloved? Rejected? Dismissed? When that happens, its most probable we're not receiving God's true infinite love and we've taken our eyes off of Him. God created us to love. He wants for us to build and not tear down. We love because God loved us first (1 John 4:19). God loves you. He loves me. He loves us with a great deep love.  Remember what happened on Good Friday and hold on to the fact that when Jesus died for our sins, He rose again and left us our helper, the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit we wouldn't have the  strength we need in our times of weakness. Any addiction, relationship, circumstance.. Nothing has power over the power that is within us.  Lord, I pray we stay mindful that there is NO greater love than Yours. Jesus, pour into us today! Keep us steadfast in Your word. Embrace our hearts with You. Father, convict us in our sin, because You love us too much, ...

Thinking Of Heaven

Heaven! James!  And the Introduction!  I was thinking of Heaven today. I was thinking of how exciting it will be when I'm in the presence of my Jesus! I picture myself arriving and hugging my Lord 1st and foremost and immediately asking him to show me where James is. I want to thank him personally for this amazing letter he wrote. The book of James, is mind blowing bold in it's own right. You know how you can read and study a book in the Bible and then you read and study it again and it just speaks to you in a whole new way? Yup! Its like that. James teaches us the right Christian behavior and doesn't sugar coat anything. It doesn't matter what version you try reading this book in, you will feel conviction in your heart if you are humbly honest with yourself. With well chosen words, James reminds us that it's not enough to talk the Christian faith, he says; we must live it (2.14) The proof of the reality of our faith is a changed life. He... Outl...

Day After Mother's Day -2017

Because it's Monday, Because the national date to celebrate Moms Day has passed, but we still gotta get up, and keep on moving, Because we need Gods Word and Strength in which to move in, Because we "get to serve" the Lord as a Mom. Because there is no greater reward than to love, because God loved us 1st! The next 20 promises are straight out of the Bible, enjoy, rejuvenate and let's keep one another in prayer. Being a Mom needs a community of strong Godly women to build one another up! My Mother's Day this year was bittersweet with the loss of my Dad's death. I miss him. Still, I have my Mom and I am so thankful for that. Love and appreciate the people in your life. Leave a legacy of God's love. 1) A kindhearted woman gains respect. -Proverbs 11:163 This verse first and foremost, because when I’m tired I can get mean and that’s a fast way to lose respect. 2) Keep your love for one another at full strength, because love covers a multitude of sins. -1...
