Pity Party

Have you ever just had a pity party? I will be honest I have. I am not proud I have pity parties on occasion but they do happen. God never shows up to join me. God does not want me in a self-induced heart issue of self-pity. I usually come around and tell God I am sorry for not giving HIM all my troubles and I work hard at moving forward and getting out of the pity party pit. The Pity Party Pit really is no fun.

My pity party is just a come home and go to bed party because I got upset things did not go my way or I did not get the answer I wanted.

Then God reminds me of Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Let’s try to throw away those Pity Parties and have I Believe parties where we proclaim that God is in control and HE will work all things out.

God is powerful!
God is Good!

We have to claim these daily!

So bye-bye pity party I am moving on and upward I hope you will join me.



Roots

I like taking pictures of trees especially big oaks they are so strong, tall and deeply rooted. A true showing of how I need to be in my walk with the Lord. Colossians 2:7 “Let us be rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”… Continue Reading

As the Storm Clouds Roll In

Today

My thoughts are strictly on today. I want my heart and mind to be in the moment. I spent several days watching the ESPN documentary about Micheal Jordan and the one thing I took away from his story is Micheal Jordan always stayed in the moment. He did not worry about the next shot or… Continue Reading

Words

Words equal expression and we are using them way more than normal now to convey how we feel. Words carry us to other places and times.  Words are like soft music to the soul or can be rough like barbed wire to the skin.      Careful I must be with what words come from… Continue Reading

Courage

Courage I read about courage today and I decided to share some thoughts with my daughter.  In the process I looked at my own life and the word courage. First, I wanted to define courage, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary means: “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.”  Wow, mental… Continue Reading

Faith and Children

Do I have enough faith to turn my children over to God? Watching our kids grow up and leave the nest is an exciting and scary time. The scary part for a mom is letting your children go and knowing you are not in control.   GOD is in control. God loves our children so… Continue Reading

Today

Today is all we have. Should I repeat that phrase: Today is all we have. Wow, if we could just grasp that today is a gift and it is all we have how would we live differently. I feel we all should ponder that thought: Today is all we have. We are not promised tomorrow… Continue Reading

Fear

What would you do if you were not afraid? Fear grips us and holds us in place. Life is meant to be lived not out of fear or in the state of fear but in freedom. Many times in my life I have found myself caught up in fear’s grasp. What do we do when… Continue Reading
