Let Jesus Take The Wheel

Sometimes we allow stress and fear to take the wheel, even though we know better.  The Word reminds us that “The Joy of the Lord is our strength”.  This doesn’t just mean in the easy times.  This is at all times. He promises to meet us, even in those times that seems like we are alone.  When we give our burdens over to Him, we too, can sing praises in “our jail cell”. 

If you are believing God for something don't put Him in a box, let Him take the wheel. Ask according to HIS will and watch Him bless you above and beyond!!!

Whatever it is that you are believing God for, He is able to give you far MORE than you can possibly imagine.  Too often we pray for such and such and God is wanting to give us more.  I think all too often we put a limit to our blessings because we see with finite minds when God sees infinitely!

Are You Feeling Defeated And Discouraged?

In this life, we all yield to something. We give way to pressures or duties or calls or desires, but we all give way to something. 

Sometimes we lose our perspective, we get defeated and discouraged. We order fattening pizzas and awkwardly burst into tears. And so God uses His Word and the encouragement of others to get us back on track to remind us to keep doing the things He has called us to do.  

It is obvious to me at the moment, that God wants me to be patient. He wants me to have a better attitude in the waiting. He wants me to inhale, exhale, and praise Him and show faith by waiting with a heart that KNOWS the Lord will not let me down. He wants me to exude patience! He wants me to "talk" and "walk" faith in the waiting. 

Thank you, Father, for doing the most remarkable things, in spite of my very unremarkable faith. ✞

Whatever The Mind Expects, It Finds

Do you ever get tired of all the negativity on social media: Facebook, Twitter, etc? It has always been bad, but lately it seems to have gotten worse. Frankly, it's just plain depressing! I always try to post positive thoughts, etc to help encourage others, and do you know what? Most of the time, I find that I am encouraging myself as well. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.

God Wins

Today has been a pretty rotten day! But no matter what is happening, no matter how I feel, I choose to praise God! I am thankful for the sweet reminder that God can handle my problems even when I can't. No matter what I'm facing, God wins! ✞

You Win Some, You Lose Some

Both Clemson and Carolina football teams lost this weekend and there are some disappointed fans (me for one). We all know the saying, "You win some, you lose some." So it is with the history of this world. Satan and his followers, as well as the natural circumstances of mortal life, will inflict many bruises and win many battles. We're all going to fail, sometimes more than once. But as long as we're on God's team, we're on the winning side and we know we will have victory. For this I am thankful!  Happy Sunday!

God's Best

I have to admit that sometimes I miss God’s best by playing it safe and being satisfied with good enough. But this only leaves me depressed and unsatisfied. 

“How many times have you wanted to do something, plan something or even dare to dream, but you were too afraid?” You know deep within that your torment isn’t right. You know you’re missing out on life and opportunities, but you’re too scared to do anything about it. 

What if the one situation we're clinging to is the last piece of the puzzle, but He can’t get His hands there to shift it into place because we won’t move ours?

Sadly, most people stay in the safety of their comfort zone their entire lives and then wonder why life seems so empty, miserable, and dull. They go through life missing opportunities because they’re afraid to really live the way God intended. 

What’s Christ response to all of this? “O man of little faith. Why do you doubt Me?"

Our Creator's Glorious Creation

Celebrate all the good things that God has given you and your family....

Sometimes life can get so overwhelming, and I personally get lost in the business of balancing all of the responsibilities I have. It’s a wonderful gift from God to spend some time away from your worries and distractions and get to spend time with your family, refocusing your heart and your mind. 

This past week my family and I spent a glorious week at Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. I hope you enjoy what I’ve captured and will be blessed by what our Creator has designed for our pleasure. 

Blessings, 

Dalinda
