A Lord's Lady's Thoughts

Many mothers, fathers, children, friends, godly sisters and brothers in Christ, and even sometimes our pastors, experience an invisible suffering of being unseen. This phenomenon prompts me to recall the scripture (1 Corinthians 16:14), which states, “Let all your things be done with charity.” All our actions should be motivated by charity. (Love) This principle is where we often falter. While wives may clean the house, do laundry, assist with homework, take children to their sports, encourage their children about the significance of Christ, encourage neighbors and people she meets and show people love, always ready to help anyone in need if she can, and care for her husband’s needs, and never forget their relationship with their heavenly father. Often, we acknowledge requests of the church. However, it is crucial for us as women or ladies of Christ to open our hearts and recognize that we perform all these tasks out of love. Unconditional love. Additionally, I believe that women should recognize that God is constantly with them and observes their faithfulness and genuine love for others in their lives.

Today, take time to reflect and seek divine guidance if you feel overlooked or unappreciated. Pray that your actions are motivated by love and that there is a higher power who observes all that transpires.

Life is full of amazing moments that make us feel like we’re on top of the world. Think about the warm hugs from your parents, your first love, the comforting smell of your grandma, the joyful laughter of your best friends, the first kiss, the day you finally say “I love you,” your wedding day, the birth of your child, and so many more. Now imagine not being able to experience or remember those moments. It’s a scary thought, right? That’s exactly why I believe God gives us a moment in life that we’ll never forget… the day we hear God’s gentle voice saying “I love you my child.” 

So many days we wake up, thankful to God for all that He has done and will do, and we thank Him for being a fair, just, and awesome God. But if we were honest, life often jumps in, and the weight of our burdens shows up unexpectedly, with the shadows of life casting doubt upon us and causing hope to begin to fade. In these moments of struggle, it’s essential to remember to lift your heart up to the Lord, for He sees every little detail in our lives and desires to be our help and refuge. He truly feels the weight that our souls bear; He knows our faith has been shaken and tested. However, we must not be dismayed at all; we are human, and God understands our struggles and weaknesses. So face each and every day with unwavering hope, joy, and love, reminding yourself that your Lord and Savior is your shield. Nothing will penetrate your spirit unless we knows our hearts, so guard your thoughts and emotions diligently. Embrace the strength that comes from faith, and let it renew your spirit, guiding you through the uncertainties of life with grace and fortitude.

Today I have spent laying curled up in my chair just staring off and thinking about nothing. I try so hard to remember parts of my life that woulf make me smile or even cry but I just can’t seem to do it.Then I opened my bible and read these very bueatiful words:

Psa 6:2  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Psa 6:3  My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Have mercy on me Lord, have mercy…… he knows my bones, my mind, mine body is so weak and weary and I can’t help but wonder how long….. but what I do know is I serve a beautfully holy and merciful God who has his hand right in mine.

Sometimes finding faith in the worst times of life is hard. I mean really, really hard. Like when your day at work has sucked the life out of you, or maybe your coworker got on your last nerve. Or even when you get bad news from the doctor that will forever alter your life. Maybe you hear that a loved one or a special person has been called home to be with the Lord. Or when you look at your mistakes and realize no matter what you say or do, someone will never forgive you. Or maybe your family is not as close as they once were. In any situation, though, faith is our weapon. Prayer is our weapon. God is our weapon. Although so many times we do not understand why things are happening or why things have happened, the one who knows will always be right on time for you if you have faith and hold on. Hold on to Him, your faith, His word, and so many other weapons that God has granted us. We are forever in the palm of our wonderful, awesome, merciful, holy, just, sovereign, and omniscient God. So when tough times hit—and they will—just hold on to your faith in God; He has got you!!!

Today has been a rough painful day. Been confused and sad. Like my mind is blank and I don’t even know why I feel this way. I want to just scream and tell people I am drowning but I remember they have problems too. I am not okay !!! Not today !!!

Honesty time……
I am sorry to my readers that I have not posted for quite a while. Life has given me a lot to deal with lately. However, I do not let, situation determine my joy. In the last year and maybe a little longer my family has suffered one battle after another. To be honest, I do not understand a lot of these trials, but I do not have to, God has a plan. But I can not lie, the devil knocked me flat on my butt, he knocked all the air out of me. For a while I started to doubt, well just wondered what in the world is going on. However, in the last few weeks, I woke. I prayed…Paul said, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” That is my mindset.

I have dusted myself and began to walk with a purpose. My past is not going to define me. I have been through so much to turn around. I have had too many victories to be defeated. I am more than a conqueror. So I will be posted pretty steadily again. I am in Salt Lake City Bible College, Ashford University, and StraightLine COurse, to earn my Doctrine in Theology, and my Masters in Psychology. But I know that God has given me the gift of gab, the gift to write, and the gift to encourage.

I hate when my back is out it gives me to much time to think. I try to pray…..but my mind as a mom just keeps taking off. I can’t help but to think of my little girl, well she is 24, but always my little girl.
I talk to her and I can tell she is broken, and in return I am broken too.. this is truly the hardest thing that I have had to deal with in my life. Why because I have pleaded with her over and over, for quit a few years…..but it seems like this monster this demon, meth has gotten such a hold on her that I can’t pry her loose. So I am left to face the truth, my precious little girl is an addict. An addict! I can barely say it. I feel sick. I HATE that word. And yet, it is true. Why does the truth have to be so hard? All my life I have watched over her and now……😭. When I think about it the change in her was immediate. She faded away as soon as it entered her veins. She became obnoxious, rude, spaced out, disrespectful, down right horrible, and there where times I actually feared her…….but now I know it was the drug acting and talking on her behalf. My beautiful little girl who was completely into herself……now she has no pride in her appearance.. God knows how long it has taken me to come to terms with this. You know I have heard that it is hard so very hard for an addict to quit drugs. But honestly it just as hard watching your child’s life be controlled and taken away by meth. She is actually in jail right now hopefully get clean and help…..but I have realized I need help too. I need to be heathy to be there for her….. so instead of blaming myself, her friends, her dna, I am finally facing and fighting the demon meth.
So I want to tell other mothers and fathers, families and friends of a drug addict is that there is hope, there is deliverance, but we have to go to the Lord and leave our children at the altar. I know it’s hard……and being a mom it can very painful……but God and only God can be the one who reaches down and take them out of that dark place, out of the enemies hand and give them back to us.
