Good morning everyone! I hope you're day is going great so far, I know mine is. I've already gotten a few things done around the house (including organizing my closet because it was a wreck!) and I'm still going. It's not even noon yet! I'm taking today to be grateful for the simple things in … Continue reading Contentment (A Grateful Heart)

An Inspirational Blog to Check Out
I'm one who loves finding new blogs to follow. Often times I'll find them through other bloggers or on bloglovin'. However, sometimes I'll find them from a personal recommendation. A few days ago my mom shared a link with me on Facebook titled 5 Ways to Get Closer to God, which is on Jarrid Wilson's … Continue reading An Inspirational Blog to Check Out
When God Closes Doors
There are plenty of times in life when a door will close, and yes, another one opens. However, we don't always see this at the time. Sometimes we dwell on what we didn't get and just take the next door that opens without realizing that the first door was closed for a reason. Think about it, … Continue reading When God Closes Doors
Just Live
"Age is nothing but a number…" A saying we have all heard and probably used at one point in our lives, yet we always make a huge deal of growing older. It's understandable we don't want to be old and wrinkled and not have done anything with our lives, but at the same time we … Continue reading Just Live
I Applaud You, Sir
Easter Sunday was a day that Christians everywhere acknowledged the day that 2,000 or so years ago Jesus Christ rose from the grave to conquer death so that we may have eternal life so long as we believe in Him and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Naturally, there are going to be people … Continue reading I Applaud You, Sir
Heart of the Word | Week One
I feel a little behind with this post, but I'm thankful I have the chance to do it. I came across this Heart of the Word Scripture Study though Rachel of Rachel Rewritten and was just drawn to it. I have read Ephesians before, but you can never read the Bible too many times! (though there … Continue reading Heart of the Word | Week One
Worrying About Worry… it’s not just me!
This morning I came across a post entitled "Worrying About Worry" by Caroline of 'Beautiful Life with Cancer' and as a chronic worrywart myself, I had to read it. What really inspired me about this post is that it's not only me who knows that I shouldn't worry about things, yet does anyway. I mean, … Continue reading Worrying About Worry… it’s not just me!
My 214th Chance at Life
That's a lot of chances at life, isn't it? In fact, I almost titled this 'My Second Chance at Life' which would be accurate depending on how you look at it. However, the way I see it, each day I wake up is another chance at life. Heck, each second that I'm alive is another … Continue reading My 214th Chance at Life
Thankfully Content
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?'" - Hebrews 13:5-6 I just read this … Continue reading Thankfully Content
Learning to Lean
For social creatures, we're so independent. Someone asks us if something is wrong or if we're okay, the response is always, "I'm fine." Even if we're clearly not fine; we just want the person not to press on. We want to handle it ourselves. That is the worst possible thing we can do. I've learned … Continue reading Learning to Lean
A Promise Kept
... but aren't promises meant to be broken? No. No they are not. Promises should be kept, but sadly, many are broken. Weddings vows are promises, but divorce still happens. You say you'll visit your friend/family member next week, no, you promise to see them; something else comes up. See? It happens all the time. … Continue reading A Promise Kept
