My Way or the Highway

I love this scripture from Proverbs 16:3: commit your way to the Lord and your plans will succeed.

Think about it.

We are not alone.

If we’re ever confused about the path God wants us to take, we can take our plans to God and he’ll direct us.

What happens when our plans don’t line up with God’s plan for our lives? I used to ask myself that question because I never wanted to be a Christian, nor get married, nor have kids, nor work in ministry.

I had a plan.

However, as I began to ‘work my plan’ things never worked out. The more I focused on getting closer and closer to the Lord, the more His plans for me became my delight and my desire. It was not an overnight process.

I gave up my way for God’s way and I have no regrets… what about you?

I’m praying for you!

Celebrating Pink Laundry

Yes. This is a picture of a laundry basket. I know it’s a little strange but bear with me for a moment. 

Recently, I celebrated my 37th birthday. I remember thinking 37 was old… real old. 🙂

Like many of you, I had certain goals and dreams that I thought I would’ve accomplished by a certain age and for me, that didn’t include doing laundry every weekend.

However, today while staring at a basket of pink laundry, I’m actually celebrating. Because the laundry belongs to my beautiful baby girl. She’s only three months-old now, but her mere existence has fired me up.  When I look at her (or her laundry) I want more out of life for her, my boys, my husband… all of us.

I never thought God would bless me with a little girl, but He did and her little pink basket of laundry inspires me to become a much better human being…

Keep believing my friends!

Watch the Face!

Yesterday my son asked me why did I look so mean when I come to pick him up from school. I was a bit thrown off by his question, so I pretended I didn’t know what he meant.
Actually, I tend to hold my breath before walking through the doors because I’m a little nervous about getting his behaviour report. I didn’t know he could see me through the glass and read my expression of impending dread on my face.
Obviously I felt guilty about it later  and decided to make an adjustment. From now on, I “watch my face” to ensure I’m wearing a positive expression when he sees me. Because it matters to him, that means it matters to me.

The journey continues my friends!

Let’s pray for each other…

What kind of mood are you in today?

Are you in pit?

We’re all human and experience set backs. Don’t allow your emotions to dictate your actions. You’re free my friend! You’re free!

Enjoy this video from one of my faves! Joyce… simply Joyce!

God Bless You and I’m praying for you.

Breaking Generational Curses (Part 2)

A few days ago, I started a series of blogs about generational curses. Here’s Dr. Bridget Hilliard at a Woman Thou Art Loosed Conference. I’ve listened to this sermon more than 30 times. This is POWERFUL especially if you have kids. I love you and I’m praying for you.
