May the God of peace equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Hebrews 13:20-21)

"Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble. And on a cold night, two under the same blanket can gain warmth from each other. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12


There was one, then one found another, and together we created a third... A bond I dreamed of and I must thank God for answering the desire of my heart.

5 Years and So Much to Be Thankful For....

This past Friday, Dave and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. It was a day that wasn't going as we had planned... or as we would have thought it would or should... We had thought we would take a trip or something of that nature but it didn't work out... Sometimes we have to get past the ideas of what or how we "think" something should be. Anyway, when evening came we had come to the conclusion that we were going to spend our evening at home (mom was babysitting). I had worked and Dave was going to football practice and we still had not really carved any plans in stone other than spending an evening together... So many times we look for elaborate plans to make our days special. Well guess what, the days when all we have is each other ARE indeed some of the most wonderful! I have to say I felt a little ashamed of myself for having my "ideas" of how the day should go. As it turns out, we had a wonderful evening and I wouldn't have traded it for a trip to anywhere! At the end of the day, I was reminded of how blessed I am... I thank God for Dave - for a Christian mate... One that at the end of an evening at home, I can be even more in love with than I was when I woke up in the morning... Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband!

Letting go of my Anxieties!

"What are we going to eat? Or "What are we going to have to drink? Or, what are we going to have to wear? But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things taken together will be given to you. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own." (Matthew 6:26-30, Amplified)

"Do not fret, it only leads to evil." (Psalm 37:8)

Peter the apostle wrote, "[Cast] the whole of your care–all you anxieties, all your worries, all you concerns, once and for all-on Him; for He cares for you affectionately, and cares about you watchfully." (1 Peter 5:7-10)

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” (II Timothy 1:7, NLT).

Father in heaven, thank You for giving me power, love, and a sound mind. I open my heart to You and receive Your perfect love. Fill me with Your confidence and assurance to embrace everything You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
