Dealing with Hard Times.
Bad things happen to and around Christians just like they do for everyone else. Often in those struggles we can see God more clearly than we can in the easy times. This collection of posts focuses on keeping our purpose in Christ at the forefront of our life experiences.
In the end, it is all about Jesus and not all about us. We live this life crucified to ourselves yet alive in Jesus Christ. Dealing with hard times is just par for the course.
I received a contact from a person with a struggle familiar to many of us. Doesn’t matter what it was, but I think the response is the most important part. 🙂 She was basically curious about overcoming a struggle and…
Two [Christian] results of hard times… For me, one of the most difficult things to do is turn my family over to God and leave them completely in His care. Crazy, right? This is often easier said than done! Think…
If we ever want to be free – I mean really free – we absolutely have to forgive those who hurt us. In this season, I find myself forgiving people on Facebook, Twitter and even folks I’ve never met! I’m even talking about TV folks – pundits, commentators and anyone else saying hateful, mean things. It’s not about them. It’s about me keeping my heart clean. Check out how I approach forgiveness in my current Christian journey.
Before I share my heart, I have a favor to ask. It will require your imagination a bit. I want you to imagine a sleuth of colossal, killer bears are tormenting your community. They’ve already viciously slaughtered several people and…
God is still the God that heals us. I’m so grateful for God’s Word, aren’t you? Now, more than ever, we must be fully convinced healing in the name of Jesus is ours for the asking. It is our bread…
It’s time for your “ugly prayer face”. Seriously, prayer is so important right now with all we are facing. Prayer is critical to stop this thing in it’s tracks and it’s critical for the healing of our land. Do you…
Trials are normal. Whether one is a Christian or a nutty sinner, they are going to experience trials. The blessing for us, as Christians, is we have the Word of God. Sinners do not (although they can by accepting Jesus)….
Crazy times, right? Sis, the last thing you need is a long blog post right now, so my encouragement will be frequent and shorter than usual. Or at least that’s my intent. 🙂
You know as I record this there is a lot of chaos going on in the world. It’s mid march in the year 2020. The germ that begins with “C” has caused so much anxiety Bible anxiety and fear is…
My crazy comparison between ibuprofen and prayer Ever wondered how prayer is like ibuprofen? Ok, I haven’t either. LOL But, I thought of a cool analogy and can’t wait to share it with you. “Trust and believe in God” is what…
So hard to find encouraging words for a friend going through a tough time I know what it feels like to have a hard time. Which prompted me to write this post titled “encouraging words for a friend going through…
Every single person with a heartbeat feels like giving us sometimes. I don’t think it reflects on their personal strength or their faith either; it’s just life can sometimes be so very hard. I know. I’ve hard a hard time….
What is the proper course of action after someone hurts you? How do you interact with them? Do you even try? This is one topic of which I can really relate. In fact, I had a buddy and she really…
Don’t get your hands dirty, trust God will avenge you! Recently, I created a Christian tee that says “God is my avenger”. Simple as that. The concept of that thought blew my mind. He, the God of the universe is…
Looking for a Bible verse for depression? I think I’ll be able to help. Why have a Christian women’s blog, if I’m not going to be honest in what I write? Let’s talk about depression. As I write this, I’ve…
One of the most difficult topics to explore is: how Christians manage blended families. I didn’t realize how strong my feelings were about the subject of Christian blended families until I recorded a podcast episode. You must check it out…
Let me tell you, since I’ve been pursuing the concept of purpose and discussing it openly with my friends and contacts, I have received so much flack and criticism. I’ll tell you at the end of this post what it…
More verses to meditate on God’s glorious word and scriptures I’m amazed by how popular the post about Bible verses for meditating on God’s word was/is! It’s no wonder. God is so good and what Christian woman wouldn’t want to…
When God doesn’t seem to answer prayer How do we handle it when God doesn’t answer prayer the way we want Him to or when you pray for someone to be healed and they die. I know I’ve been there.
What if God asks you to do something that makes absolutely no sense in your mind? Has it ever happened to you? It’s happened to me more times than I can count! Yep, God often tells us to do things…
Yeah, let’s discuss the challenges women face today in these crazy days in which we live – and they are crazy. They confused so much and give us, as Christian women, so many decisions to make. My GodsyGirl blog is…
“I just buy bigger pants”. She said it with a straight face and then threw her head back in a girlish chuckle. I’m talking about a lunch meeting I had with one of my favorite colleagues, Anissa. If memory serves…
Ever asked the question: does god answer all prayers? When God says “no”. What is our response? What do we do when God doesn’t seem to answer our prayers? Some would say we don’t have a response – when God speaks,…
Everyone has spiritual battles from time to time. The important thing is to stay strong and fight the good fight. In this post, I’ll tell you how I approach spiritual struggles and share a spiritual warfare prayer for protection at…
