Baby Steps
It's very rare that I complete everything on my to-do list.  Maybe that's because I'm a lofty-thinker and think that I can do more than I actually can, but sometimes it's because quite frankly, I am a poor time-manager (something God is definitely working through with me!).  When I don't accomplish everything, I tend to be very hard on myself.  But lately I've been feeling accomplishment because of something I've figured out.Even if I do nothing else to clean my house for the day, I make my bed.  It's the one thing that I know I must do.  It's a decision I made and I'm not going to go against it.  My mind is made up!  It's my first step, I supp

Ever Wonder What Satan Thinks of You?
I found this "Letter from Satan" online and had to share it with you.  I cannot find who originally wrote it but I was nauseated after reading it because it's true...this is what Satan thinks of us:Hey Fool...I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. 
You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, 
you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going 
to bed last night. You are so unthankful. I like that about you.

Be Careful Little Mouth What You Say...
Are you watching Survivor Samoa?  If so, you know there is a character on there named Russell H. who is controlling the game, being deceitful and conniving behind everyone's backs.  Yes, there seems to be at least one of those every season but this year it seems to be over the top!  I have had a few things to say about how he is playing the game - and unfortunately not much of what I've had to say has been positive.  Sure, he doesn't give me much to work with in the positive realm, but nonetheless I should have been a little less judgmental.This morning I woke up and found a post on my Get Gutsy for God Face

Difficulty That Lead to Destiny
I remember when the doctor came in and looked me in the eye and said "We're not sure she's going to make it."  After that, I sort of blacked out.  I woke up and there was a man with a collar in the room, asking me if I wanted him to pray for me.  He prayed and then once he left I said my own prayer.  I knew I didn't deserve to have my prayer answered because I wasn't living a life for God at all - as a matter of fact, since I left my home to get married and start a family, I had completely turned my back on God and didn't even go to church anymore.  But things seemed dire at this point.  Would He listen?A few days before, my daughter Stephanie, who

Waking Up
I have determined that waking up my teenage son each morning is the most dreadful thing I have to do all day. He just won't budge! He says "I'm up!" and then I get distracted, picking up things, doing laundry or blogging (haha) and then ten minutes later I realize I don't hear any movement at all.
