I was wondering what it means to live well in regards to time. I think about time a lot. It pushes forward whether we like it or not. Youtuber Cambria Joy in her latest video was talking about how we often try to justify the time we take to relax. I get that. I feel like I have to earn my...

No matter how extreme a conviction may sound to others, if it edifies you, I want to hear about it. What sort of worldly things has God led you away from. What did you replace them with?

A big reason I stopped posting on Facebook is because I think people feel that happy people are obnoxious, bragging, or fake. I feel like when Im blessed, happy, and content on most days, people don't want to hear about it. They'd rather hear about something going wrong in your life. I was a...

I would like to invite everyone to try their hand at writing a mini story or micro story. It could even be less than ten words. I once read one that went something like this: Baby Shoes. For Sale. Never Worn. Would love to see what we come up with!! Am tagging some folks @LadyofFireandLace...

Me first: letter vomit. When I slow down and focus, it still doesn't look bubbly. Its very angular and leans slightly to the right. I never dot my small i's. My big I's are just straight up and down. My words aren't smushed together or far apart. I tend to go above lines. The tops of my...

Recently, I stopped going on Pinterest because I always end up wanting fashion items I don't need and can't afford. Is coveting just wanting something you don't have and not being content or is it wanting something that belongs to someone else?

I personally find it hard to spend time relaxing. 1. I feel guilty because there's always more I can do. 2. I wasn't raised to aspire to be a homemaker and housewife so I pictured myself as taking the easy way out. To this day, I perceive myself as having an easy life. 3. Pride tells me I...

I just wanted to talk about some things that have been on my mind lately about church, music, and tithing and how they are changing. Ill try to keep it brief. Church: It's not a building but the people. The original church met in house gatherings where more than just the pastor shared. Now I...

There is an ad for a dress on sale for $600 on my screen. While I can't say Ive ever spent that much on a dress, sometimes I question whether I'm materialistic. My closet is full of secondhand clothing but am I putting my treasures on earth rather than heaven? While I figure this out, Ive...

You are God Most High---my everything. You have withheld no good thing from me. You heard me in my affliction and delivered me. Out of sin, hospitals, and isolation, you've brought me. To a place of fellowship, love, provision, and peace. You've simply blessed me with everything I need and...

I'm a journaling and writing type person. I wonder if I'd pray even more if there were a calendar or journal with prompts on what to pray for. If not, I will make a personal prayer schedule. I was just wondering if this exists and if I could post items like this on this thread in case anyone...

You messed up big time. Now you give yourself a hard time and view yourself worse than before. Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. But you can take those thoughts captive and truly let it go, not reliving the past anymore. I used to berate myself for my past sin. But I...

Feeling low. I could use prayer. I'm so sick of -Friends that aren't friends -My church not getting to know me beyond things I can do for them -Being alone at five days out of the week because of Hubby's job. I don't care if it makes me a weak person. I can't deal with it anymore. I don't...

My husband I love our church. But we see the good and the bad. The church has a business side, a huge building to pay for, and prioritizes that and pulpit preaching. Tithes and offering go to that. But the New Testament Church had some differences. -More fellowship and doing life together...

Greats of history do good on a large scale and we remember their names. It's so like me to run ahead of God and want to do something big. What if the Lord has called me to a quiet life? What if I died to my dreams to come alive to Christ in total obscurity? What if my calling is to wipe...

I know people who are fine being open about their mental illness. I have admitted to having one but I don't really like talking about the diagnosis, symptoms, or direct effects on my life. I find that people have a hard time understanding, seek to overstep in their advice and speak in the...

It could be anyone, Jesus included. I'll go first. I've been married to my husband for 7 years. Shout out to all the married people out there. He is a better person than me. He bears with more, sacrifices, and works hard in a quiet way, without drawing attention to it. He forgives easier...

God's promises really are true. His Word is alive and there's life in it. Collosians 3:16 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Through God's...
