In this season of busyness, tradition, fun, exhaustion, Jimmy Stewart-induced nostalgia, and TONS of glitter, there is still a tendency for some to be a little joy-LESS. While there are a select few who may in fact naturally fall under the Grinch or Scrooge category… I’m mainly addressing those who may feel that JOY is only a word plastered on sparkly baubles and trinkets- not necessarily a condition of
Joy in Hardships
As December gets a running start, it seems like everyone and their neighbor is getting ready for Christmas. It’s a time of joy, love, tradition, and giving, along with the gluttonous eating that we’re all so excited to partake in. However, not everyone is having a holly jolly Christmas this year. Not to be a little black rain cloud on this parade (as I truly do LOVE Christmas), but I
Do I Look Like Love?
Love. One of the most over used words in our vocabulary. I love this place. I love this song. I love that shirt. I love you. Those three little words that mean so much and yet so little. Love. We use it so often, about so many different things. But do we mean it? Or is it just a phrase we use like “cool”, or “wow”? Do I look like
Do You Like You? (It’s OK to love yourself!)
It’s amazing to me how many people, especially women, are so hard on themselves in regards to how they look. [I won’t even get into how critical people are about the way they act, think, accomplish things, etc.- that’s a different post.] I also understand that others have no problem in this area whatsoever… kudos to you! For the rest of us, this is a hard topic to admit that
Plugging in to Your Ultimate Power Source
As you go through life, and things come up, do you find that sometimes you end up feeling like you are spinning your wheels without much change happening or progress being made? I don’t know about you, but with me that happens far more often than I care to admit; but I am going to admit it, right here right now. What I have come to find is that I
Admiration vs. Love
Did you know that sometimes people (women especially) confuse admiration with love? A doe-eyed young lady who dreams of one day marrying her prince, comes across someone who checks off every expectation on her wish list- even though she knows nothing about him… BAM- she’s in love! A woman, married for decades, meets a gentleman who is everything she always wished her husband would be… who is everything she prayed for BEFORE
When Love Hurts
Its easy to love a friend, a family member when they love you back. When they want you. When they want to hang out, when they want to share life with you. To walk arm in arm with you through whatever life throws at you. Who is there when life is rough and when life is great. But what about that family member or friend that doesn’t want
When Love Looks Mean
Did you know that your children will not always like you? I hear the gasp of grief in your voices… but it’s true. Did you always like your parents? More than likely not. There will be times when you mess up as a mother or father, there will be those moments of regret, and sometimes you will do things EXACTLY the way you were supposed to- and THAT is what
What’s Holding You Back?
What holds you back? What stops you from completing your goals, chasing your dreams and grabbing them? What holds you back from doing what you have always wanted to do? Is it fear, fear of failure? Fear of what others may think? Of not being excepted? Is it too stressful right now between work and the kids, and running the house? Are you sidetracked, being pulled in to many direction
5 Questions to Ask to Check if Your Goals are Godly
Do you set goals? We hear all of the time that we should set goals. Career goals, Life goals, Fitness goals, Family Goals, etc. Goals are great. They provide us with a clear destination. We have to challenge ourselves to make sure our goals are Christ-centered. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through
