Be Careful Little Ears What You Hear


We turned on VidAngel to see what they had added this week and the movie Wine Country was on there. So I decided to check out the filters and as soon as I clicked on language, it turned into a silent film (the black bar is what is taken out)! 😳 250 things I didn’t want my ears to hear made this movie (even with filters) not worth it for us. 95 of those were use of blasphemy. 😔 I didn’t even get to any of the other filters and just decided to find something else.

Sometimes we become numb to what we hear and see in movies and tv shows until it’s all there, in black and white bars. I’ve looked up movies I’ve watched before and was SHOCKED at what my ears heard (even if I didn’t realize the sheer volume of profanities).

Psalm 119:37 says “Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.”
Philippians 4:8 says “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

We need to be not only aware, but VIGILANT in protecting our ears, eyes, and minds from the things that don’t glorify God! Think about your choices. The next time you sit down to watch something, do a google search for how much profanity or nudity is in the choice you’ve selected. Pray about it. Be wise! The enemy is prowling, seeking out those he can easily devour. Don’t give the enemy not even ONE tiny foothold in your life.
You got this... and if you don’t, ask for help. GOD’s got you!

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...

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...

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...
