So blessed, Girl!

Published on 2013-03-28 08:05:00

Today I woke up overwhelmed by how blessed I am. So many of life's blessing are easily taken for granted. I thanked God for waking up in my home. It's a beautiful home, I thanked God for my husband who is an amazing provider and loving companion

Published on 2012-11-22 09:51:00

I am thankful. Thankful for where I am currently. You see, I made so many choices in my lifetime that could have easily derailed my me and compromised my destiny. For instance, what if I had married that guy? What if I hadn't gotten that job?

How to trust God with everything...

Excuse the typos...GodsyGirl is only human. :) One of the most difficult things to do is to turn over to God those things you love most. I'm in my early 40's and have buried most of my immediate family. In fact, most of them died by the time i was 34. The recurrent shocks of death after death cultivated two dubious by-products in my adult life. First, those [..]

The other day, I had a tough day....no week. Work was particularly demanding, home was chaotic, and my body was beyond tired. You know what I mean? In my family culture, I handle 98% of the household duties and work a full-time job. Sometimes, the walls just begin to cave in, ya know? Well, on this particular day, I'd finally finished work for the day and was in a mad rush to pick up a few groceries, fetch up my little person from daycare and start dinner. Well, once we got home, I bega [..]

Angels are for real...Judith MacNutt

Published on 2012-06-04 21:49:00

I've discovered an interesting book by Judith MacNutt. Recently, I saw her interview on a Christian television show. Her expansive knowledge and beautiful spirit drew me into the program. She's also a psychotherapist, pretty cool, huh? Anyway, no doubt, her book on angels is controversial at best. The book, "Angels Are for Real" is said to share how God uses these heavenly servants to protect and instruct us in our earthly journies. Now, I'm very careful reading books on spiritual beings bec [..]

When people or life lets you down

Published on 2012-05-30 20:33:00

Have you ever fallen into disappointment or despair. I have. It's a sad and lonely place to be emotionally and spiritually. There are lots of reasons we experience this state of being. But, one of the most common is placing our faith in what is not faithful. Often, we hinge our faith on humans, or systems (created by humans) and when they fail, we are hurt. This hurt, if not remedied with the Word of God, can quickly turn to bitterness and even depression. Neither are God's will fo [..]

Knowing God's will...knowing when to pray for what you want... God has been gracious- more so than usual. My family's storm has been stilled by the hand of God. You may not know it, but i've been blogging for years about a particular struggle in my family. Finally, a positive medical report has been delivered. Only God can do what was done. Only God could have caused organ's that had ceased from working to function as they should. Only God could cause one of the leading med [..]

Shifting to an atmosphere of praise

Shift your atmosphere to praise and worship. Most people in my life know my family is experiencing a challenging season...I am experiencing a challenging season. My goal in this is simple: to look for God's hand (his blessings) in the current tribulation; glorify Him now and so I can share my experiences of His comfort with someone else in the future. This posturing encourages me to stay pinned in praise. It also and helps me focus on the miracle working power of the Lord. Worship activates [..]

3 things to remember in the midst of a battle

1. Know which people to hold close and which should be distanced. Let's face it, some people are not good in times of trouble. Know the difference between those who can pray prayers that reach the very realms of heaven and those that are good for a trip to Burger King. Forgive my smugness, but spiritual maternity is to be valued. Some people May not have the maturity you need in spiritual wartime, or they just may have weak faith.

Praying for others...

Published on 2012-05-01 21:30:00

Noble or Nosey? Today, somone on a Christian televsion show said in order to pray for a person, we must know details of their prayer request. I disagree. Our job is to pray according to God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to do the rest. You see, we are human and can often fall short in prayer because we do not know how to pray the way we ought. During those times, the Holy Spirit steps in (and steps up) to intercede for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. You can pray effective [..]

For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth. By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You. (Psalm 71:5, 6 NASB)God is and has been your hope and salvation your entire life. In the silly days of your youth, He shielded you from danger, guarded you from your own choices and preserved your life from death.Without Him, who knows where you would be right now.

Prayer for healing....

During a season of deepest darkness, I happened upon this prayer. It's been over a year since I found it, but it has stirred my faith and reminded me of God's promises.

How to handle a bad day...

Have you ever had a rough day? You know, one of those days that isn't necessarily a bad day, but cannot, by any means, be called a good day. I had one of those today. Let me tell you, quite a few parts of my day went really "south". Some of the mayhem was my own doing, but, a great deal of it was completely out of my control. The day's events just seemed to plummet moment by moment until my (spiritual and physical) fatigue gave way to a sense of heaviness. At that point, I realized it was t [..]

How not to say the wrong thing..at work or anywhere!

Published on 2012-02-01 21:09:00

Be a blessing at work Not long ago, I started working outside the home. I was quite blessed to find an opportunity that fits my skills and interest somewhat well. However, being part of the “real” world has it’s challenges. For instance, a few weeks ago, I was laughing with a colleague (a fellow Christian) about how easy it is to be “saved” when you work from home. Alone at home, working in front of a computer, one isn’t often tested with issues like forgiveness, or anger or negati [..]

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 Picture of me and cousins and brother, Eric ...compliments of my "big" cousin Tim. I grew up pretty shy and withdrawn. I was tormented with fear of people thought of me; I feared whether or not they would like me or accept me. The result is I often said nothing in an effort to be liked.

The most important word

Published on 2011-11-08 22:00:00

The most important wordToday our church choir sang a song that simply said "in response we say Yes". Sure they sung it beautifully, but mere talent rarely moves me. What moves me is Biblical truth and the anointing of God. That song dripped with both.I contend to say the most important word in the Christian faith is the word "yes". In scripture, God asked time and time again for His people to chose Him - to choose His path, His laws, His ways. He beckons us to to obey and submit...regardles [..]

Preachers and double lives

I have been troubled, no concerned- no sickened by the latest news of a young pastor living a double life. It’s not so much that I am angry at the kingdom of darkness, although I am. Sure, I’m frustrated by of the sin nature and how it wars against the Spirit of God in a Christian’s life. The continuous stream of pastors and spiritual leaders that fall under the shame of personal sins hurts their ministries, their families, their communities, and the world. What really bothers me the mo [..]

Living in regret may not a bad thing

Published on 2011-08-13 17:41:00

Sometimes life choices seem to haunt us, buffet us and plague us for years. Further complicating the issue is the enemy's willingness to slap a redemption-less sort of guilt into our minds and morph it into condemnation.  In case you didn't know, condemnation is not God's will for your life.   Check out this ugly (but actual) definition of the word "condemn": 1. : to declare to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil usually after weighing evidence and without reservation (read Romans 5:1, 10:9-10, [..]

Why do people worship like that?

Published on 2011-07-23 17:59:00

You'd be surprised to know how many people do not understand the beauty of worship.  Really.   Some people see worship as nothing more than walking into the church, parking their feet under a pew and clapping their hands from time to time when the choir sings. I contend that worship is much, much more than those simple physical expressions.  Worship is awe and amazement at a wondrous, gracious, loving God- a God that's a Father.  Worship is beatiful, as the Psalm says.  Sometimes, it's a [..]
