Sometimes when things are bad and we get desperate or just wrapped up in our troubles we forget. Forget what you ask? We forget about God and what He’s already done for us before.
We get freaked out. It feels like God isn’t hearing us. Maybe He won’t Continue reading
Friendships for Grown-Ups: What I Missed and Learned Along the Way by Lisa Whelchel was an excellent read. This was the first time I had ever read anything by Lisa. I had heard that she was a writer. But I did not know much about her ability as a writer or her writing style. The most I knew of Lisa was of her role as Blair on The Facts of Life and that she is a Christian. That’s not saying a lot!
I felt that Friendships for Grown-Ups was refreshing and eye opening. When we look at Celebrities we assume that they have it all together. Lisa reminds us that celebrities are people just like the rest of us. They struggle with fears and insecurities the way that we all do. From these things, like death, no one is exempt.
For Lisa one of the things that she struggled with the most in life Continue reading
This post was written as part of the FaithfulBloggers.com writing project on Psalms 23. Everyone who decided to participate had to choose a verse. I chose verse 5. I hope that this post will be a blessing to you.
I love this verse. I understand it well. I have had the misfortune of dealing with an enemy or an attack of the enemy, a time or two in my lifetime. Perhaps you have as well. So did Jesus and the Disciples. As followers of Christ we should Continue reading

Hello everyone! I know it’s been a long while since I have written to you. So much has been going on in my life that I haven’t had time to write. I hope to change that very soon. Very soon!
I love Gospel music, and my favorite Continue reading
Hello everyone! I have finally fixed the problem with comments. For months people have been unable to leave comments and I could not figure out why. I had sought technical support, but didn’t receive the help that I needed.
I finally decided to take matters into my own hands! Mind you I am not the least bit savvy when it comes to matters like these. But, I sought help outside of my hosting service and found some ideas of what the trouble might be. I tried some things out and realized that it was something very simple.
Needless to say that I am incredibly happy that the problem has been resolved, but agitated that it was something so small that was causing it. If I had even an inkling that it was something so simple I could have fixed this ages ago.
I apologize to all of those who tried to leave comments and could not. The problem has now been resolved. Comment away! 🙂
Lord bless you all!
Gigi’s Big Break was a wonderful DVD for young girls. Gigi’s Big Break is based on the books Gigi, God’s Little Princess, written by author, singer and former host of the 700 Club Sheila Walsh, and tells the story of a young Christian girl named Gigi as she learns life’s lessons and how to live for the Lord.
Each DVD contains two stories and is based on a Bible verse.
In the first video “The White Lie” after breaking a vase in the living room while dancing Gigi tells many lies to try to hide her crime as well as her guilt and shame. Gigi soon learns that it does not pay to be untruthful, and that to lie will always create more problems than it solves. It is a cute story about honesty and God’s forgiveness. Based on 1 John 1:8-9.
In the second video “The Pink Surprise” all is well in Gigi’s world until she finds out that her Mother is pregnant. Initially she is very excited until her young friends lead her to believe that siblings are nothing but a pain, and that her parents will not love her as much as before and will not want her any longer. Gigi comes to learn that parents have more than enough love for all of their children just as God has more than enough love for all of His, and that to be first in life is not the most important thing in the world. That God has many more blessings in store for us than just being number one by the world’s standards. She may not be able to claim all of her parents attention, but she is still very loved. Based on Luke 10:21.
I liked this DVD. It was simple enough for a child to easily grasp, but not so syrupy that it would be unbearable for adults to watch. The stories were short and fast paced in order to keep the child engaged.
I personally found it to be highly entertaining and would recommend it to any parent looking for wholesome family entertainment that is not only fun to watch, but teaches children the will of God, how much He loves them, and the value he places in them.
I am a member of the Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger Program “BookSneeze”. I received a copy of this DVD free of charge in order to review it. I was not paid for this review. I also was not required to give a positive review, but to give my honest opinion of what I felt about the product. Whether positive or negative, this is my honest opinion of the product.
I’ve been thinking a lot about prayer lately. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Yet it seems that a lot of the time we only come to God during times of pain, suffering and sorrow. Why is that?
Self-sufficiency is the problem
I believe that self-sufficiency is the main problem. We take our eyes off of God when things are good. We start to Continue reading
“Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World” by David Jeremiah is a wonderful book about how we are to live our lives as Christians in today’s troubling world. Turn on the news and we become bombarded by stories of war, possible war, famine, skyrocketing unemployment, and stories of people losing their homes and retirement savings. It’s enough to make you go crazy. When we look around ourselves and we see the mess we are in not only as individuals, but as a nation, we can become overwhelmed.
“Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World” shows us Continue reading
Hello everyone! I know that it’s been a long while since I have updated my blog. I thought that today would be the perfect time to get back on track.
I just want to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Take the time to remember the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus is one of the Greatest Gifts God has ever given us. I hope that you love Him and appreciate Him as much as I do!
Also be sure to cherish those that you love. Many people have lost loved ones this year. I know that you are hurting. But if your loved ones knew the Lord they are with Him today. Rejoice!
Don’t take your life for granted. Life is so precious and fragile. Live each day to the fullest and love everyone with your entire heart.
Once again, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I will be back with more new material in the new year. So please don’t forget to visit again.
I love you all. Be blessed
