I’ve set two fires in my kitchen in recent months. First, I put a potato on a paper towel in the microwave and let it go for about twelve minutes. I noticed an odd color flaring up behind the microwave door, opened it out of curiosity, and… fire! My reaction? Laughter. And I just stood [...]

by juliemooreonlife I just read a great post about comparing yourself to others. Unfortunately I find myself comparing my weight to other women. My goal weight is about 25 pounds lighter than what I am right now. The thing is I haven’t put a whole lot of effort into losing this weight because I look [...]

Someone who is very close to me recently had a rough day. It was kind of ironic, because the night before we had talked on the phone about how well things were going. Doesn’t it usually happen like that? We’re having a great day, everything’s going our way and then…. WHAMMO. An event or [...]

Happy Mother’s Day… For most of us, those words feel so good to say to our moms or to other women whom we respect and admire. But why, for so many of us, do those words conjure up feelings of guilt or inadequacy? We look at our children and view them as beautiful gifts. They [...]

Today I ate a 3 inch sub for lunch (which is a long way from the 12 inch subs I downed in former years), and for supper I ate a baked potato with the works—veggies on the side. That’s the way I’ve become accustomed to eating now: smaller portions, without skimping on the flavor. But [...]

"I love you, LORD. You are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to Him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3
There have been times in my life when I wondered if You were listening to me. Yet lately there is no doubt. I see You answer so concisely, Father. Can I ever praise You enough?! My words seem so insignificant at this moment. I thank You, O Lord, with what little I can offer. I am overwhelmed with Your tender grace. My heart overflows with joy and sweet peace because I sense Your great love for me. How could I ever live without You, God? I could not!
You are Life, You are Love, You are Listener. There is no other god but You. Thank You, Jesus, that when I came to the well seeking Your living water You freely gave and You continue giving every day. And now I will rest in knowing You have me and mine safe in Your hands. In Jesus Precious Name, amen.
This is my prayer for today,
Julie
