Lost, So Lost




There is a saying that says when you’re UP, you’re UP, but when you’re DOWN, you’re DOWN!

We all reflect on how things are going, whether it be daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly. Many times the reflection starts off like a fierce fire, one that cannot be burned out. The blessings are apparent, you find the joy you have been seeking…and BAAAMM! You’re thrown a Left Hook!

So what happened? What could possibly happen to break such a beautiful thing? How could we go from total JOY to being Lost, so Lost? We can sit here and talk about it, try to strategically change it…but…are we truly lost? Or are we just side-tracked? Did we just lose sight for a moment? Yes the moment may seem like a lifetime, but really it is just a moment.

So, what can we do to prepare ourselves for the next Left Hook?

Many people go through Physical training at some point in their lives, but what about Spiritual Training? Or recognizing our need for Wisdom that only comes from our Father?

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:8b

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18

When we are lost we can come to Jesus because he understands what we are experiencing, he too has experienced it.

Father God we are so thankful that you are such a giving Father! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to face these times with Jesus. We know and can count on peace and understanding because he is your Son. In Jesus’ name we pray that you bind Satan from knocking on our doors. Keep him from giving us thoughts that we are unworthy and that we are no good. Lord may you always be glorified by our actions. Father we pray that you guide us in helping those who are lost, help us redirect them to you. May you utilize us so that our friends and family and many others can see your light and want to be a part of it! Amen.

DIY Family Sign

So I had an old ugly pallet on the side of my house…I saw some really nice signs on Pinterest but did not want to fork out as much as suggested. So my creative juices began to flood my head. So much that in the middle of the night I would wake up and have to write my ideas down so I wouldn’t forget them! Lol!! My husband and I pulled all the nails out of the pallet. I began sanding the pieces I thought would look nice after being stained. I utilized pieces that had old nail holes to give it that rustic worn look. After sanding I chose the stain that I had pictured in my head…I put only one coat of stain on as I was going for a not perfect or new piece of art. After this dried I used T shaped brackets to connect the three pieces of wood. I utilize free fonts all the time!! In my Power Point Program I create the type size and font styles, print them on card stock paper and then cut them out like a stencil. I then positioned everything where I wanted it and bega...

The Key to a Woman's Heart...

The key to a woman's heart is when He studies her; He hears her when she’s silent; He anticipates her needs and fulfills them joyfully; He embraces her with all his being, yet gives her free reign to be herself; He provides for her needs because it’s a priority in His life; He loves her because he knows, no other way; He accepts her flaws because that’s what keeps her unique; He gazes upon her and smiles because He knows He’s blessed by her presence…jus some morning thoughts.

WHAT DOES YOUR MASK SAY ABOUT YOU?

mask - concealing thing: something that conceals or disguises something else, for example, true motives or feelings Masks are things that we wear sometimes to hide from other people, and sometimes to hide from ourselves. Sometimes we wear so many masks that when we take one off, there is another one right behind it. Often times, we have so many different masks, that we don't really know who we are so we become that which we wear. We hide behind these masks…when asked a question from a friend or family member; do you answer with the real you? Or are you answering through the mask? Do you ask yourself, “how should I answer this question so that they don’t feel differently towards me?” Sadly we feel the need to impress others, so we are afraid to be ourselves in front of people. We short-change ourselves into thinking we need these masks to be accepted and loved. Is your mask still present when you approach God? God already knows us and he requests for us to be real with him. God ...
