14 JulRipen Your Fruit of the Spirit and Be a Blessing

10 Comments »

Interdit de CitronFruit of the Spirit?  What is that?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:22-27 (KJV) Read the rest of this entry »

21 MarHave you been building without a blueprint?

8 Comments »

So often we look around at other people’s mansions; at their wealth and success and then wonder why we’ve been sentenced to live in substandard conditions.

We trick ourselves into believing that it’s because we’re just unlucky, without ever really facing up to the truth that it’s not that other people are lucky or that we’re unlucky – but it’s because of the blueprint (or lack thereof) that we chose to follow.

You don’t have to be in construction to be guilty of building from the wrong blueprint, or no blueprint at all.

Countless of times, I know I’ve certainly moved ahead without a blueprint.  Yes, I started ground-breaking activities without proper approval, and ended up broken.  It’s those times when I decided, that regardless of what I knew to be right, that I was just going do what I wanted to do.  Period.

28 FebFinding the Right Balance Between Work and Play

6 Comments »

Over the weekend, I finally got out and got a chance to enjoy some of this beautiful 70 degree South Carolina weather.

My family and I went down to the lake and watched the boats launch as the sun glittered the water.  As we drove back home, I got a chance to see the first budding of Magnolias, which happen to be one of my favorites!  The temperature was perfect – not too hot (like it can get here) and not a chill was in the air.  The breeze was fresh and rejuvenating.   It was such a wonderfully reviving feeling to be out – enjoying some precious family time.

14 FebIf you’re not at the bridge yet, stop trying to cross it

14 Comments »

bridge When I was a kid, I can remember hearing people say, “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it – for now, we’ll just focus on x, y, and z…”

I usually heard those phrases whenever my parents or other adults were trying to work out an issue or a problem.  I never really understood what they meant until I became an adult myself.

Now it makes perfect sense – yet somehow, it’s still one of the most overlooked techniques for handling many of  life’s issues.   Read the rest of this entry »

07 FebHe Wants it All

1 Comment »

foreverjonesOne of my favorite songs these days is He Wants it All by Forever Jones.

It’s not a brand-spanking new song, but it’s a song that I find myself thinking about and longing to hear everyday.

It’s one that gets into your heart and before you know it, you’re swaying and singing out loud (out of tune in my case) and possibly with tears streaming down your face.

Why is this song so powerful? Read the rest of this entry »

Rainbow and a wee boat - Ardtoe - Scotland
If a black cat crosses your path do you find yourself spitting and spinning to ward off bad luck – or do you completely stop and go in the opposite direction, just to avoid any bad consequences?   To keep yourself “safe” you allow an innocent cat distract you from your path because you are afraid that something bad will happen.

24 JanIf You’ve Got Enough Drama of Your Own – Don’t Tune in to the Michael Baisden Show

Be the first to leave a comment »

photo-mb-bioBefore you get the impression that I’m about to launch a personal attack on Michael Baisden, I want to stop you right there.  I respect Michael Baisden as a businessman and I find his success story rather inspiring – but with that said, I am quite disappointed at what his show has become.

17 Jan3 Reasons Why Forgiveness is So Hard

11 Comments »

Forgiveness

A popular saying goes:  “I can forgive, but I can’t forget…”  That saying is usually uttered by people who are still resentful and who haven’t really forgiven.  They are not bad people, they want to forgive – and have probably really tried to forgive, but they just can’t seem to make it stick.  Why is that?

10 JanWhen You Let Grace Fill in the Gaps, You’ll Always Have Enough

2 Comments »

Our American/British food cupboardFor many years a lot of my worries were based on not being able to do things well enough.  I worried about not being a good daughter, sister, mother, wife, student, worker – the list could go on.

I guess you could say that felt inadequate; like what I did was never enough. Read the rest of this entry »

03 JanStop Ripping Off Old Scabs

11 Comments »

104. Miss Daphne gets a Boo BooRemember back in the day when you were in elementary school – there was always one kid who took pleasure in ripping off an old scab, just so he could see the old wound bleed again; just so he could be sent to the nurse to get a cool new Snoopy Band-Aid. Were you that kid? Read the rest of this entry »
