Unwavering Faith

Unwavering faith is such a beautiful thing to witness. The Lord has blessed me by putting Godly women in my life who epitomize what it means to have unwavering faith. One of these women is my mother. She strives everyday to be like Christ and even during the hardest of trials she is found at the feet of the Lord. The joy of Christ is seen bursting out of her bright white smile in the ups and the downs of life. Praying continuosly and worshiping the Lord are a few of the many wonderful things she does best. I am beyond blessed to have such a beautiful example of Christ as my mom. Her faith encourages me to always trust in God's will, live out the joy Christ has given me, and never underestimate the miracles that God can do. Thank you Lord for the blessing of my mom!

The Lord who is ALWAYS faithful leaves me awestruck. Awestruck over His miraculous works, His connection with His people, His unchanging characteristics, His glorious love for His children, and His will. Every day I find out more about the Lord and I see that He is MUCH MORE grand and glorious than my finite mind imagined.

Take notice of the Lord's faithfulness and how He works in your life. Seeing the Lord work and realizing how your days and even your trials fit into his bigger picture will place you in a state of worship, a humbled state of awe, and give you a heart of overwhelming thankfulness.

The Lord is unwavering faithfulness... Are you striving to be that beautiful example in someone else's life?

Monday Inspiration

Every day is a good day...some are just better than others.

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Have a wonderful week!

Thank you Sue for the amazing Monday Inspirations.

Think About The LORD

Life has ups and downs. There are times of unexplainable joy, everything seems to be going your way and the wind even seems to be blowing you in the direction you need to go. Then there are those other times, it seems as if the load on your shoulders could not get any heavier and you laugh when something else doesn't work out the way you thought it would because you don't know what else to do. I have encouragement for you in those other times. The Lord more powerful then our finite minds could ever possibly attempt to IMAGINE knows what we are going through and gives us the strength to get through. I know you hear this a lot but it is the truth. We are not to be living this life in our own strength ANYWAY. If you need a load on your shoulders to get you to give your everyday up to the Lord well maybe that is why it is there. Just try this, when life seems to be crashing down around you ...THINK OF THE LORD. Think about the Lord and how GRAND and GLORIOUS He is, how many INFINITE BLESSINGS He has unendingly bestowed upon you, and how He wants  you to cast all your cares upon Him so He can shoulder the burden for  you. The Lord just wants what's best for you and if you are going through tough times you think you can't handle you are right YOU can't handle them but guess what the Lord will willingly take your problems and those tough times and give you strength while He holds you up through it ALL. I know things can be difficult, your heart could be broken, you could have lost a loved one, you could be struggling with an illness you just can't seem to beat, you could have financial issues, or it could just be all those little things that seem to be insurmountable but you know what... the Lord is there for you and He heals all those things. He mends the heart of the brokenhearted, He is the great physician, He is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, and no problem is to big or too small for Him to handle. So find hope in this...the Lord of all there is and all there ever will be LOVES YOU, CARES for YOU, and will HOLD YOU UP through all the difficult things you may be going through. Find hope in the Lord and think about Him when the tears are pouring down your face, when you can't seem to place one more foot in front of the other, or when you just don't think you can push through another problem. THINK ABOUT THE LORD AND REJOICE! He won the victory for you and there is nothing you and the Lord can not conquer together! He will love you and uphold you through it all. God bless you all!


Thank you Lord for your unending love, hope, blessings, strength, and help. I will ever praise you!!!

Faith is not believing that God can - It is knowing that He will.

“I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:21

Watch Your Footing

“When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:18-19 NIV

Wow, He is always there for us; reaching out for us and grabbing our hand when we fall. Love and joy, peace and hope, help and guidance, these things truly only come from the Lord. Grab His hand when you are slipping but remember you don't have to slip to reach out and grab His hand. Rely on Him in the good times as well as the tough times. Know God is Good and He loves you very much!!!!
