Yesterday, we looked into what can happen when God has a destination, or a “promised land” in mind for us, and how our fear can cause us to wander around when it was right there at our fingertips. Today, let’s look at some scriptures that will build our trust, remembering that trust in God will …

The Story of Me (Part Two)
Last week I explored five aspects of our identity according to scripture. Here is a recap: God created me in his image. Genesis 1:26-27God knew me before I was born. Jeremiah 1:5aGod wrote a book about me. Psalm 139:1-3,16God’s works are wonderful, that includes me. Psalm 139:14God delights in me. Zephaniah 3:17 I’m still in …
The Story of Me
I have been inspired this week by all the little nudges from the Holy Spirit through various means—newsletters, songs, scriptures, devotionals, etcetera—to take a look at ME. (Or you.) To allow his words to sink-in deeply. Shall we dive in? 1) GOD CREATED ME IN HIS IMAGE. I’m sure you know the scripture, but you …
Growing Weary
Today, I want to get a head start on what I know is going to happen. How do I know? Because it’s happened before. And, since my 2021 word for the year is Persevere, it’s a safe bet that at some point I will grow weary. There were three areas of my life that God …
Cherished
Recently I have been reading about life goals, purpose, and how to focus and refine smaller goals to fit the bigger picture. How to purge the distractions.

Perseverance: Following the Thread

Enjoying the Journey
With ground breaking on our beach property and a new year to plan for my writing goals, I have so much on my mind. It becomes difficult for me to push past the overwhelm and decide on a direction to progress in. When I sat down to put down on paper what my vision and …
Persevere
Last week I shared the scripture I will be adopting as my theme for 2021, stating I wasn’t sure what one word would be the focus for me. Sunday, as I sat in church, the word became clear to me. To tell you the truth, I wanted to reject it and pick another word. The …
Press On
Every year in December I spend time considering the new year and what the Lord is speaking to me. This practice of having a one-word focus and a scripture to support it, has blessed me for the past few years. My words have been: rest, trust, and light. This year’s word, light, seemed so much …
I Have No Friends
Over the last week, I have been spiraling down. My thoughts, becoming more negative. I began to question why I am so open about my health and my struggles, posting my life on Facebook and this blog for everyone to see. The answer I gave myself was - I have no friends. Most people would …
