Temptation

Every day we are bombarded with temptation. Our earthly flesh desires things it does not need. Though we take the bait anyway. On our strongest days, out of the blue, that temptation tantalizes us. Attempting to cause us to stumble. There are a whole slew of temptations and desires in our lives; some may even be what we call, "good" ones. Whatever your temptation/desires are, stay strong, fight for your eternal life. Things that are ever lasting. Our choices, the ones we make every day...may we all be slow to speak so that we may process them and respond objectively.

For over a week now, I have been bombarded with a temptation in my life, one that I thought, I had laid to rest. Just when I believe I'm strong and know what I want in my life, this temptation knocks on my door. The doorstep to my heart. Sometimes I think it's an emotional attachment, one that I need to fulfill. Other times, I find myself crying out to God for the answers and ask why He allows this temptation to continue to reign upon me.

Distinguishing the difference in knowing whether it's a temptation or if God continues to nudge me in this area, is very difficult and many times results in me feeling powerless.

I am human. Our hearts want what they want. The question is, when will I learn whether this is a temptation or a change in need?

Hmmm...

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 ...
