Faith fading?

  Faith fading is trust falling apart! Does your heart ever waver?  When we are subjected to double mindedness in ourselves or in others, it causes faith to fade.  Faith fading is trust falling apart.  No permanent structure or relationship can be built without a steady foundation of faith and trust.  This goes for a home, a building, and even our lifestyle and relationships.  Only God can take chaos and turn it into steadfastness. Trust in the Lord with all your heart      and lean not on your own understanding; 6  in all your ways submit to him,      and he will make your paths straight. I think of the pouring of a cement foundation for a new home, or a strong upbringing of a child so they grow as an adult with a healthy esteem and a positive outlook on life.   If half of the foundation of a home is  hard cement and the other half has never cured, the foundation is not ready for the structure.  I am not a psychologist or even a counselor; but I am a person who was r

Starting your day!

  Starting your day!  What better way to start your day then to have all elements of the heart being held by a holy, sacred God!  Do you hold bitterness or unforgiveness toward a person or circumstance in your heart today?  My ultimate goal each morning is to start with peace.  As I listen to the Holy Spirit, it reminds me of the Father, the Word and the Son.......

   Abundant Life! How many of us have a manual for living, or wish we had one?   Some of us have one, but don’t even realize it, or think it is for ancient days and not for today’s society.   If we don’t read our Bibles every day, we don’t realize that it has every day wisdom that applies to today’s world.   They sit on a shelve somewhere collecting dust. There are so many folks around us that are sick and tired and haven’t been able to pinpoint why they are sick and tired.   Did you know that God has 613 principles he has given us to help teach us to live a healthy, active and vibrant lifestyle?   And these very principles can improve our life in today’s world.   Some people think the Bible was written to tell the good news about Jesus Christ, giving us eternal life!   This is true, but the good news doesn’t stop there!   The good news includes not only eternal life, but an abundant life here on earth if we follow God’s principles.   There is so much good news to share when i
