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 →

I know God’s forgiveness covers all my sins, even when I continue to mess up. I am hard on myself and focus on my failures. God has changed my eating habits, but my feelings tell me different. I feel like a failure because I occasionally overindulge. The shame and guilt I feel tells me to give up because I will never be good enough. Psalm 103:12 is, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 God no longer holds my past failures against me. He not only forgives myRead More →

I went on a trip for Spring Break. I fell and injured my arm while hiking. Our return flight was delayed and later cancelled. Since we tried switching flights, our luggage made it back home to Texas while we were stuck at the Atlanta airport. My emotions controlled me that day and night. I wanted to be home and felt angry, sad, and exhausted. John 16:33 is, “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.” Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 Troubles follow me throughoutRead More →

I have tried to lose weight and eat healthy for a long time. I look in the mirror and don’t like what I see. Maybe the snacking I do in the evening is adding up. It could also be that I end up eating too much or the wrong thing when I eat out. I realize I need to keep going and lean more into Christ for strength instead of giving up. Philippians 3:14 is, “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001 God has more planned for meRead 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.
