Pray more in 2024

Here we are...again... at the end of another year. Where does time and my life go? Again, we are going to be asked to pick a guiding word for 2024. I actually picked mine a couple of months ago, because my word for 2023 failed miserably. If you read my post from January 2nd of …

The short and long runs

Basically, the short run is doing what is easy at the moment and feeling bad in the long run. The long run is doing what is hard at the moment, but able to feel good then as well as later. Life is hard. Being a Christian is hard. Truth be told, I am good at …

Never Too Late

to learn what should have been taught/learned in childhood. That is where the foundation of our beliefs start. Childhood is where we are taught and/or learn how to start dealing (or not dealing) with hurts (physical & emotional) scrapes and bruises, heartbreak and dashed hopes. We should be taught, when we mess up there will …

Cleaning House

Figuratively that is. It is now a year without an actual house, and I'm .... well, I'm not sure what I am. Anyway, I have been house sitting this weekend, meaning I have been on my own and it has been so nice. I have messy cooked but then cleaned the kitchen better than it …

Proof

God not only listens but hears. I was just lamenting to God about my situations. I was telling Him the more I try to focus (the church's word for the year) on Him, the more the world seems to fall down around me. I worry constantly about my grown children. I know, I know, worry …

The Struggle and the Response

Here we are at the start of another new day. Yesterday did not go well for me. Nothing really bad happened, it was just a Romans 7:15 day, I don't understand why I act the way I do. I don't do the good I want to do, instead, I do what I hate. Yesterday was …

Jeremiah 29:11

The January 1st reading from "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young uses two verses. I will say I do not use The Message Bible for studying, however it does paint some wonderful word pictures of many verses. One verse she used for January 1st is Romans 12: 2 and The Message puts it this way: "Take …

Being In The Moment

The first thing I heard this morning was a song I like but always gets me thinking. It is called Keep Me In The Moment, by Jeremy Camp. This is something I am struggling with, because I do not like the moments I am currently in. The first lines of the song strike me deep …

Down The Rabbit Hole

Here's another post for I can be so weird. I woke up this morning feeling down but got up anyway. I was going to read and study, but when I turned the laptop on, I saw something bookmarked and clicked on it. Bad idea ........ that is just a rabbit to chase. It was a …

What A Mess

I actually started this January 1st, but am just now getting back to it. I actually forgot about it until today (3/21/2020) when I went to start another one. Hahahaha January 1, 2020 Here we are, not just at the start of a new year, but also a new decade, and I still feel like …
