I don’t think I have control issues. I sometimes like it when another person takes charge. However, I don’t like facing uncertainty. This Corona crisis seems like it will never end. It has changed our everyday life and provokes fears. John 14:1 is, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 God is the only me who knows how this crisis will play out. I don’t have to know how and when it will end. I just need to trust that He will give me strength and wisdom to walk through it. WhenRead More →

Being stuck at home caused me to break out old cookbooks. I am also trying new recipes from Pinterest since I have time to cook. With the stores out of bread, I dusted off my bread machine and used it. This extra time I spend preparing food, plus staying at home, both led to overeating in the past. God has changed me so I know to keep my eyes fixed on Him. Hebrews 4:16 is, “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need itRead More →

This week, I got caught up in the Corona hysteria. Instead of posting my blog as scheduled, I spent time searching for news and toilet paper. I am saddened by people hoarding food and necessities. I am shocked to see empty shelves at multiple stores and fearful to be without. I have to trust God just like the Israelites trusted Him with daily manna. Psalm 78:23-25 is “Yet he (God) gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens; he rained down manna for the people to eat, he gave the grain of heaven… he sent them all the foodRead More →

I was never promised an easy life. It seems like am always dealing with stress, distractions or trials. I try to fix what I think are “small things” on my own. I forget I can call on the King of Kings to help me carry all my burdens. Worries pile up and build negativity. Eventually, I get tired of hurting and seek Jesus for help. 1 Corinthians 16:13 is, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011) When I remain in God’s Word, I am reminded that he is mighty. Jesus loves me noRead More →

When tough times hit, I don’t always seek the Lord first. Sometimes, I turn to food for temporary pleasure. Other times, I look for a quick fix. As I have grown closer to Jesus, I realize He is my source of help. 2 Chronicles 20:12 is, “…For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011) My eyes should go to God anytime I don’t know what to do. My own efforts are limited and sometimes create additional problems. Food and earthy wisdomRead More →
