Both Facebook and X are huge timewasters for me. Last week, I wasted time scrolling on social media before I opened my Bible. These apps are extremely addictive for me. I have tried using screen time limits on my phone, but it didn’t work. My brain desires constant stimulation. I turn to social media when I am bored or don’t feel like working. Not only do I waste time, but social media keeps me from drawing closer to the Lord. I recently deleted these apps from my phone. This helps me to open my Bible when I wake up instead of scrolling on my phone.Read More →

My quiet time with God has not felt right lately. I open my devotional and my thoughts drift away from the Lord. Things I want to (and need to) finish that day crowd my mind. I feel distant from Jesus and go through the motions while praying and reading my Bible. Romans 8:38-39 is, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” HolyRead More →

The biggest and scariest winter storm of the season passed through my state. I was terrified of losing power in our all electric home. We lost power for 36 hours in a storm last spring and the thought of no electricity during Arctic temperatures scared me. I prepared for losing power by dreading how uncomfortable it would be. My prayers were “God please keep our power on” instead of, “Lord, help us to manage if we lose power.” Psalm 46:10 is, “…Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Holy Bible,Read More →

I am not perfect. I make mistakes because I am human. For strength, I need to seek God and spend time in His Word. The closer I grow to the Lord, the more I desire to obey Him. Luke 11:28 is, “Jesus replied, ‘But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.’” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I no longer want to miss out on God’s blessings. I want to seek Jesus and live out God’s Word. I start most days with good intentions. Once I finish my morning quiet time, I close my Bible andRead More →

I am tired all the time. It might be old age. It also might be from sometimes eating unhealthy food. I stay busy and sometimes keep going when I am exhausted. Worrying and overthinking also wear me out. Matthew 11:28 is, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I used to think this Biblical rest meant taking a nap or chilling in front of the TV. My “rest” had also become excessive scrolling while watching TV. This makes me more tired! I went backRead More →
