WHAT IS YOUR MOUNTAIN

 

Matthew 17: 20 tells us that if we have faith even as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move.  Nothing would be impossible.  




I see this verse and know it's true and yet, some days, my mountains seem to stop me in my tracks and taunt me, trying to remind me that I'm stuck.  But this verse tells me quite the opposite.  It tells me if I just have faith, trust in Jesus, I can move my mountains.  Jesus tells me "Nothing would be impossible."  

God has told me He is doing a new thing, He asks if I perceive it, He tells me He is making a way and giving provision (Isaiah 43:19).  I'm searching my heart.  What is God speaking to me?  What are the desires of my heart?  And what is the mountain that is keeping me stuck?  He has brought me so far, through so much, and together we have moved what seemed like mountains to me.  Praise God!  It makes me excited to look back and see what He has done.  So, what makes me think that together we can't move more mountains, head into new territory?  After all, He is the way maker, the provider, the planner!  He is waiting on me to show up, ready and willing to participate. 

What is God speaking to you today?  What is your mountain?  What feels impossible to you today?  Let's dig in and see how God will make it possible.  Let's trust Him and participate in His plan! We don't have to be stuck!  Let's say yes to a small thing...and then another small thing...and then another...and let's see where He takes us!

Myrtle Beach

We just spent the last several days in Myrtle Beach.  The weather and the views were perfect!! And, of course, we ate well.  If you happen to visit: I think we would all recommend the Flying Fish. The food was SO good, and we may have eaten there twice to try a couple of other menu items 😉. The Grouper and the Seafood Linguini were our favorite Entrees. The Seafood Nachos were a big hit as well. The hubby loved the oysters, but I can't make myself try them😁.  We also tried the Chesapeake House, and it was good as well. The hush puppies and cinnamon rolls served before the meal were yummy!  Lulu’s had a super cute atmosphere. I wouldn’t say it was my favorite, though still good.  Barefoot Landing at Myrtle was a really beautiful place to eat and shop. Flying Fish and Lulu’s were both located there, and the baby had her first carousel ride there. This was such a good time of rest, relaxation, and laughter. At the last minute, one of our daughters and 18-month-...

Feelings

How are you feeling this morning, in this season of change? I don't know about you, but I sat down this morning thinking about how I feel  - a little tired, the weather is changing, getting darker earlier, less sunshine, affecting my motivation. Feelings of anxiousness and overwhelm seem to pop up this time of year for me (if I let them). But... You know I like to start my day by spending some time with Jesus and journaling, so I sat down to do just that. I opened my journal and the first thing I saw is something I wrote just 3 days ago !!  "I want my light to shine brighter than my feelings." How ironic, right?! This made me smile 😊😊 because that's exactly what I want! I don't want my feelings to dictate my days!! I want to dictate my feelings! HOW? Not by acknowledging all these feelings, but by acknowledging the word of God (which is truth), by renewing my mind, by reminding myself that... Philemon 1:6 says my faith becomes effectual (fruitful, potent) by ac...

God is a Good God

 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8) Good morning, friends! I had something on my mind and wanted to share it with you. One of our granddaughters recently got hurt, and it hurt my heart so deeply for her. Since that day, I have wanted nothing more than to see her, hold her, be close to her, tell her how much her Mimi loves her. I didn’t cause her to get hurt. It was an accident and accidents happen. But, man, I just wanted to fix it, to lay my hands on her, pray for her. I know that her resilience and quick healing is because of the good God we serve.   We spent the afternoon with her on Sunday and after we left, I was thinking about her and God spoke something to my heart. He told me that He feels exactly the same way when I hurt. He isn’t the cause of my pain, sickness, etc. But when I do hurt, He wants nothing more than to comfort me, be close to me, hold me. He wants me to trust Him. Oh man, what a good good God I ...
