Peace

Lord, I’ve been negligent lately to discipline the children in a biblical manner…seems I’d rather reason with them and when that doesn’t work I yell at them and take away privledges.  They are bouncing off the walls in the house and I need your help creating an atmosphere of peace.  Help me to be the […]

Equipped

Lord, it’s amazing how much more equipped I feel to face the day just by getting up early and spending the first moments of the day with you.  Thank you for being so patient with me.  I know I’m lazy and would sleep the morning away if I had the chance.  But it feels much […]

Anger, Bitterness and Rage

Lashing out, losing my temper, yelling at my children, stomping around the house, do these sound like the traits of a woman who is controlled by the spirit?  Or the flesh?  Put away all bitterness and rage…a fool gives full vent to anger…let nothing come from my lips unless it imparts grace to the hearer.  […]

A Woman’s Journal

I am NOT living up to the title of “Godly” woman, although I am still a woman at least.  I’ve had a horrible attitude the last two days, lashing out in anger over trivial things (housecleaning) and very generalized frustration.  The kids and Dan have shown me love and mercy and I’ve asked for their […]

A Party in Heaven

I can’t wait to get to Heaven and rejoice – party endlessly and for Your glory!  You created me to love to party, Lord, but last night I overindulged.  I did not get drunk, but I did overindulge.  Please help me be under the control of your Holy Spirit.

Some help here

Thank you God, for answering my prayer and getting me up and out of bed this morning to spend time with you.  I’ve been a lazy servant for the past week and it’s shown in my attitude.  Let today be a fresh start for me and the girls.  Thank you for your mercy.  I walk […]

Questions

Lord, thank you for the work that you are doing in me constantly.  The Creator of the universe…I am humbled and awestruck that you even know my name.  You are replacing my anger and frustration with patience and love.  It is not happening overnight, but I can see a change in the outpouring of love […]

Rest

Thank you God for the hope and rest You allowed us this past week when we thought we had a farm.  Please bless the Azar family for their desire to show Your love and generosity, and please help them to understand our position.  Let there be no bitterness between our families, only grace.  Now, as […]

Another Glorious Morning

The beauty of Florida in the summer just astounds me.  The birds, the breeze, the garden and blue sky, the peace.  Let this peace rule my heart today, Lord, because once all the children are up, peace becomes a memory.  I want your peace to flow through this home like a gentle fragrance.  We’re all […]
