Sharing Lisa's message from this morning. This one really hits close to home. Blessings, Stacey ~ iamalive Read 1 Peter 5 & 1 John 1 today in #f260 plan. 1 Peter 5:6-7 was a lifeline I clung to in some very dark times. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Anxiety. Suffered from this for many years. It was to the point of … [Read more...]
Seasons
I've never really figured out what it is about certain songs that have more meaning to me than others. It is either the particular song, the mood I am in when I hear it, or a combination of both. I heard a Hillsong United song from their new Christmas album this morning. The worship band at church performed it...it's called Seasons. It was beautiful. The lyrics just got to me. It was a message I needed to hear. It gave me hope. If you … [Read more...]
Lucky
When I was a kid I was always told I was overly sensitive. Well, I couldn't help that I was born that way. A coping mechanism I've learned from being a highly sensitive empath is to steer clear of news (TV and internet) and violent or highly emotional shows or movies. Empaths FEEL the pain and emotions of others and over time it had become too much to bear. I am not exactly sure when I stopped watching TV altogether or reading the news...it was a … [Read more...]
Wilderness ~ Day 30
I'm still reading from Genesis and today I read chapters 20-24. A LOT happened with Abraham in these chapters but the part that stuck out with me was Hagar being cast out into the wilderness with her son basically because of Sarah's jealousy of her. Hagar (the servant) bore Abraham's son Ishmael but now that Sarah (wife) had a child with Abraham, Sarah saw her as a threat. So wandering around in the wilderness with her son, Hagar was … [Read more...]
I Refuse ~ Days 28, 29
I heard the song "I Refuse" by Josh Wilson on the radio this morning and it's still playing in my head so I thought I'd share. (Click below so it will get stuck in yours too! :) ) I have been praying for my joy back and God is answering in ways I never expected. I have also been praying for direction in ways to serve, give, and volunteer. Sponsoring a child has been on my mind for quite a while. When you ask God for something and he gives you … [Read more...]
Sin ~ Day 27
I read Genesis 18-19 this morning. You know, just some light reading about Sodom and Gomorrah??? My goodness. "Sin is a violation of the very character of God, and because He is just, He must take action against it." (From Foundations 260 reading plan). None of us is free from sin. We are ALL sinners. Temptation is all around us every single day. Last night I was looking at movie trailers online and I stumbled upon one that is opening soon. … [Read more...]
