"Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable."
Harry Emerson Fosdick

If you are reading this (and even if you aren't), I'm praying for you!

Psalm 66:16-20 says, “Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. For I cried out to him for help praising him as I spoke. If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, my Lord would not have listened. But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer and did not withdraw his unfailing love from me.”

We have hope -- YOU have hope.

Trust today dear friends because God is listening and hears your heart's cry!

Love & Hugs,

Keepin' it real

Dear friends,

I come here tonight to pour my heart out. I need your prayers. In a bad way. So much is going on/wrong and only God can turn things around.

I am still without a job, but not terribly concerned about that part. What I am concerned about is this: my boyfriend, who owns his own business, is about to lose it. He has not had any work come in for quite some time (due to the recession I suppose, just like everyone else), so is about to lose EVERYTHING! I don't know if that is God's plan or not, but it's about to become a reality unless God intervenes. We have been praying for so long for this situation and we need Divine Intervention RIGHT NOW!

He (John) has a lot of pride and feels like he is letting my boys and I down. Of course we don't feel that way at all, but it doesn't change the sorrow he is feeling.

John is not a Christian, and that is why we are still not married. He has his own place and I have mine, but it may come to the point that he has to move into my house; not in my room, of course. :) Lord, thy will be done.

I know it sometimes seems darkest before the dawn and let me tell you, it's pretty dark right now. Maybe dawn is just around the corner. :)

I have my own battles I'm dealing with (as we all do) which includes my brother living in my home. I can't tell you how difficult this is for me. However, I'm trying to wait for God as I want to be a servant and do what he wants me to do. My brother is also unsaved and I want to be the light to him that Christ would have me be.

Please also pray that I will wake up and find my purpose and the deliverance that only our God can bring.

Praise Him ~ for He is worthy!!!

Love and hugs,

100th post!

This is my 100th post! And to celebrate that, I'm sending my first commenter a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble. :) This is not to gain more followers and I won't do giveaways all the time (sorry), I just felt like it would be a fun thing to do today!!!

I hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

Love & great big hugs,

More than Wonderful

I remember this song growing up in the UPC church. May it bless you as it blessed me then, and still blesses me to this day. He is More than Wonderful! :)

White Rock Lake Ride and a Book!

Originally written on 11/5 (while I was trying to figure out how to get my pictures on here!)

My new cycling friend Cindy and I did a 20-mile ride around White Rock Lake today. The beauty was breathtaking and I found myself saying over and over again, "thank you Jesus!". The weather was just gorgeous and the ride was really nice, too!

(I took pictures and wanted to add them; however, I'm not able to right now)




We had Chipotle for lunch at 1ish and here it is after 7 pm and I'm still stuffed. Yuck. (it was yummy, though!)



I'm reading a book right now that is truly life-changing, if you apply the principles given in it. If you get the chance, please friends, check this book out. The Blessed Life, by Robert Morris. The author happens to be my pastor. :) Having grown up in the United Pentecostal Church, it's truly a miracle that I am now attending this church. I thought that I could NEVER attend another church/religion and make it to heaven. But God is in the business of miracles, isn't He? He worked one on my heart. It's AMAZING!!

I'm not touting this book for any reason other than I feel it has the key to living a blessed life, truly. I actually bought it off amazon instead of at the church. So much to say about the changes God has made in my life/mind, but I don't have the time right now. Maybe I'll get it all down in writing one of these days.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Beth Moore Bible Study

I'm going to a Beth Moore Bible Study tonight -- I believe it's week 7 of 10. Last weeks was incredible and I left there feeling wonderful, albeit without any mascara...:)

I've spent the better part of the day today reading some incredible blogs and found a lot of encouragement. I have hope and pray that everyone that reads this has hope as well.

Love & hugs,

Yoo Hoo -- I'm baaaack!

What a difference 2 months can make in ones life.

Yep. Lots of changes going on. I'm back on the job market, so please keep me in your prayers. I NEED A JOB!

I was so engrossed in the whole FB thing that I just shut down my page, once and for all. If something becomes as all consuming in your life as FB was becoming in mine, it's time to close the door and move away from "it", whatever "it" is. :) So, I'll be here every now and then posting a bit more than I have been.

Love you all and hope you are all incredibly blessed!! :O)
