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.

A New Chapter in Faith

We visited a revival at a friend's church a few years ago. The preacher was praying in the mist of a Spirit-filled alter call. My mind was bombarded with the words of my OBGYN ( you can read my struggle here ) and when the Spirit moved within me, my heart began to cry out for God to answer my many prayers. My soul had felt so heavy at the thought that my dreams might never be realized. I wanted to be a mom more than anything and I was processing the fact that it was possible I may never hold my very own offspring in my arms. I was heartbroken, depressed and longing to hear from God.  And that's when He spoke to me, clear as day, loud and strong. I wasn't in the altar, but He met me where I was. "I hear your prayers and I know your heart. You will give birth to a child.  It will be your own flesh and blood.  Have faith in Me. You will be a mom." God answered me. He answered ME. Who am I that He thought enough of me to let me hear His voice? Who...

Can You Handle It?

Your baby has cancer. She's not quite a baby anymore, but she's your only child... a miracle birthed from years of infertility and hormone treatments. She is the center of your world. You spent her entire childhood protecting her as best as you could. You prayed for her daily. You raised her up in the ways of the Lord. You've watched her grow into a beautiful young woman who is compassionate and caring. She lights up every room she enters and she truly has been a blessing from God. You are so thankful that God has allowed you a daughter so precious, but there she lies in that hospital bed and you are unable to make it better. This is one boo-boo you can't kiss. You'd trade places with her in a heartbeat, but God has not granted that request thus far. She's not upset, but you are. The mounting medical bills, the straining to hold onto hope that she will be healed, the days you've missed at work that have led to excessive worrying about your job securi...

My Rainbow

I can't believe I get to be her mommy. It's been seven and a half months since I gave birth to this little miracle. I think back on the things I've been through to get to this place and there are moments I still can't believe it's real. God is so amazing and works things out in HIS time. I remember thinking about Sarah ( Genesis 18 ) who had to wait until she was 91 years old to hold Issac in her arms ( Genesis 21 ). I remember wondering if that would be me. I was glad I had Sarah to learn from. I would not fall into her desperations ( Genesis 16 ). I would not lose faith or give up. I turned to scripture for reassurance. My favorite was Luke 1:45 which says "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." People thought we were weird buying items for a baby that was yet to be conceived, but we stepped out in faith and didn't doubt God for a second. I believed God's promise and I wa...
