Think on these 8 things daily... Know that you are loved.. For   God   so   loved   the   world  that he gave his one and only  So n, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV) You probably know this verse by "heart" and have repeated it a thousand times but do you truly believe it in your "heart?" Refuse to live in fear; fear and worry are tools of the enemy. Fear and Faith cannot occupy the same space. Be positive and think positive thoughts - do go negative. In Philippians 4:8 gives us our thought pattern -  whatsoever  things  are true, whatsoever  things  are honest, whatsoever  things  are just, whatsoever  things  are pure, whatsoever  things  are lovely, whatsoever  things  are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,  think   on   these   things . (I like how it reads in th...

1 Thess 5:16-18 Rejoice always.Pray without ceasing...give thanks in all circumstances. 1 Thess 5: ...encourage one another and build up each other. John 14:2 - Christ wants us to do even greater than He did. We need to allow God's Word to do a powerful work in us that through us He can produce the kinds of things we read in Scripture. We serve a God that is much greater than anything we face. Acts:4:20 tells us that God has not called us to a life of settling for good enough. He has called us to a life that's greater, a life that relies on Him, glorifies Him, and stretches us into the person that God created you and I to be! Be blessed and be a blessing!

God never promised that the road would be easy but He did promise to Never leave or abandon us. Deuteronomy 31:6 Even though I walk through some tough places and some tough times, He is right there - always with me - always. Psalm 23:1 Have faith in God and He will fight all our battles, whatever life throws our way. Mark 11:22 Be blessed or be a blessing!

Every wondered what to do with some of those pictures you've saved on your cellphone, pictures you've taken of the kids/grandkids, pets, etc. I've been working on this fun project and thought I would share. Especially after realizing how easy it is. I like easy! This is something that would be a fun project for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers or family keepsakes. All the supplies I used were purchased at Michael's because they carry the brand I like "Golden". These are also available online at Craftsy.com. Other Craft Stores carry these products, so feel free to substitute. I have the Michael's app on my phone and use the digital coupon for my purchases, especially on the Golden supplies. Here's a picture of the supplies I used - look for these in the art section of the store. Supplies needed for this project: 1. Gesso 2. Extra Heavy High Gel (Gloss). I like the finished look of the gloss, you may prefer the matte look, which is also ...

  HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY SOUL     Lose the victim mentality. When you’re feeling powerless, don’t let anyone tell you there’s nothing you can do. LIVE LIFE WITH GOD. Pray and be prayed for. Confess sin! To God, and when appropriate, to others. The prayer of a righteous person has great effectiveness.     If we are willing, God is our song when we are happy, our escape when we are tempted, our hope when we are despairing, our joy in tribulation, our strength in weakness, and our immortality in dying. Ultimately, He himself is our health . Beth Moore   He brought us out...that He might bring us in...Deut. 6:23 You never know that Jesus is all that you need, you see, until He's all that you have. J. D. Greear Apart from God we can do nothing. John 15:5 Trusting that God is in control will move us from doubt and defeat to hope and peace.   Be blessed and be a blessing.
