31 Days of Making Every Day Count

Today I had my whole day planned. I had mentally mapped out what I would write in today's post. I'm very excited to be joining this group and the challenge of blogging for 31 days and "Making Everyday Count!"

Several wonderful ladies from my church got together today to pray over our blogs and help each other work out last minute kinks in our blog layouts.

So far, I was having a pretty good day until I got home and turned on my computer...NOTHING. Say What?!* Oh no, my notes, my pictures. Life Happened...what to do, what to do.

I called my computer guy and he was kind enough to allow me to come to his shop even though it was past time for him to go home - such a nice guy and very knowledgeable about computers. Good new, bad news...good news, he was able to get my computer running again; bad news, my computer has probably reached it's maximum life expectancy. So, I will be spending several hours backing up all my files and shopping for a new computer very soon.

Today, I'm living according to Psalm 55:22 - Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you. And 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. In the middle of everything, He calmed all my anxiety and all my fears. Thank You Lord!

Stayed tuned, over the next 31 days I will be sharing books, songs, quotes and people that have inspired me along my journey through life. As well as some of my favorite photos I've taken over the years. Life hasn't been all easy and I've made more than my share of mistakes but with God by my side, always, I have persevered and OVERCOME. Day by day, we can make everyday count!

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
