Today is the day
We hope and pray to see a change in the lives of people we love and care about. We hope and pray to see a change in our own lives. We need something. We want something. Maybe we aren’t even quite sure what it is. Maybe we’ve given up hope. Maybe we’ve stopped trying. Maybe…

Deciding to care again
The first step was deciding to care again. To want to. If you don’t want to then you probably won’t. Step 2 was facing my fears and figuring out what exactly was holding me back. The why don’t I want to. Because I hate work. I’m lazy. It’s hard. It’s overwhelming to think of everything…

When and where do you listen to music?
And not just any music… Your favorite songs. Not just the same old radio station. Not just the same old songs you’ve heard over and over. I mean your favorite songs. The songs from your youth. The songs that move you. That mean something to you. The songs you used to sing in church. The…

I am weak.
Today’s prayer & Sept 1 REAL Group topic Lord, I feel so guilty for being weak. In body, mind, and spirit. I convince myself that my reasons are valid. But the truth is, I don’t rely on your strength. Maybe I don’t really want it. Maybe I’m scared of it. I believe in it. In…

How to get over myself, and truly give everything to God
It’s obvious i am not doing that. If you have read any of my other posts, it’s obvious i am not doing that. Here’s a hard question, do i want to? Do i actually, truly WANT TO? The TRUTH is, I don’t know. The truth is, and i’m sorry to say… I think i’m too…

Where I belong
Can i – am i – able to push through my issues (fear, anxiety, pride, selfishness, etc) – surrender all of that to God – and – BE OK – no matter WHERE i am? Do i really WANT this? Do i really want to be able to do it? I’m stuck on desiring MY…

Ready for change
I have a “problem”. I know I do. But a say “problem” in quotes because it’s incredibly difficult to understand, diagnose, acknowledge, and come to terms with…my problems. Especially when they are so natural. Or are they? Have they just become my normal? After years of compromising myself and my will and commitment to who…

Why do I share?
If I’m not self secure, what am I? And what then, do I have to offer others? Why am I this way? Why am I searching for something from others? Why can’t I offer something, someone who is self confident? Why don’t I just get over it and ignore it and push through it? Focus…

Thanks for sharing
Every time I try to quit or take a break from Facebook (social media), there’s something that draws me back. And almost every time, I receive a blessing from one of you as soon as I open it up. This morning, someone posted a sweet update about their family. I was moved. And thought, this…

Finding peace
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27 NIV) I don’t understand why. I don’t understand how. All I know, is it’s true. But make no mistake, what…

So much to be thankful for. I’m not going to try to list all the people and things I am thankful for. They know. We know if you share your birthday wish when you blow out the candles, that it won’t come true. Well, we had a party 2 weeks ago. I blew out my…
