Need A Lift?

There are a couple scriptures that I turn to in case of well needed encouragement. I am in the procss of turning feelings into simple emotions... instead of the mood enhancers I've often given them credit of being. I found this task to be one of somewhat difficulty when I'm thinking on and dreading over things I cannot control (and frankly have no place trying to control). 
The following scripture has changed the way I approach my wandering thoughts. I keep them in check and don't let them have any room or any vote of their own.
It is also a little hard at times of financial struggle to not worry about where the food will come from, or the gas that's needed to get to work, or even having a job itself. This scripture has become somewhat of an anthem for my life. It has opened my eyes to how important I am to my Father and Creator. He cares about me and He will always provide!
I truly hope these scriptures bring some encouragement to you. Worry and anxiety are things that are running rampant lately and destroying the happiness God intended us to live in! So SMILE! Think LOVELY things and keep your eyes on the sky, fixed upon the One who feeds the birds.

Unmother

Please note: This was a post I have struggled to publish. I have not used this blog too often to put too much personal information out there, but after studying about  unity and maturity in the body of Christ  through Ephesians, I knew I needed to be authentic. I hope you accept the following with open arms, knowing that I am bearing my very soul to you.Not many people know the struggle that I have faced, but I am beginning to realize that it's important to share in each other's burdens . SO here I bear my burdens, sharing with you in my heartache, that I might also encourage you, bearing your burdens as my own. Today is Mother's Day. Growing up, I never dreamed that this day could be associated with anything but happiness, joy, and thankfulness. When we experienced the miscarriage of our only baby on October 31st 2014, bracing myself for Mother's Day was something I didn't think to do. With the pain of my loss and everything on my plate with Christmas j...

Project Semicolon : Revision

REVISED- well, because my story isn't over yet... I was recently introduced to ProjectSemicolon through Instagram. It's important to raise awareness to the issues of mental health and I support anyone trying to make a difference when it comes to depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. We have always heard the side of the media, but have you ever heard about it in church? Growing up, mental health was something that wasn't really discussed in my church. I grew up thinking that if you had "stinkin' thinkin'" (as I've heard a popular preacher say), that you just weren't as in tune to the Lord as you should be. I've read books that talked about the war in our minds and the power we have to change the way we think. Most everything pointed to it being the problem of the individual and how close their relationship to God was. It wasn't until I entered college that I noticed some changes in my mind. My hormones had definitely shifte...

Lovealee Thoughts

A Little About Me I am the wife to an amazing husband after God's own heart, a special education teacher who pioneered a program for students with autism displaying moderate to severe behavioral problems. I used to work in the trauma OR at our local hospital, but once our miracle baby was born, I was allowed the opportunity to live my dream as a stay at home mom. Together we are involved in leadership at our church (Church of God of Prophecy Madera) where we are active in all kinds of ministries including: music, teaching, and even preaching on occasion.  Truth is, having a baby was something my body resisted. The doctors said one thing, but God promised us a child and we believed and rested in that promise. So instead of being worried about what might or might not be, we trusted God to carry out His promise by making the house improvements and getting the nursery ready for our little miracle. She was worth every moment we waited for her. What is "Lovealee"?...
