Me, myself, and others.

Filed Under Encouragement, Life | 2 Comments

So far, I know that I am a Christian woman and that I love my family. I am also aware that there are certain things that I can do that others can’t and that I have things that others don’t. I have seen things in life that most people won’t have a chance of seeing and there are a lot of things that I have yet to see or that I probably will never see but others have. I don’t have some things that others consider to be important. Yet, I have things that are important to me that others won’t even consider getting. Read more

Bible Verses in Regards to Death

Filed Under Bible Verses, Death, Encouragement, Faith, Life, Mourning, Salvation | Leave a Comment

There has been a lot of death and sorrow in my family lately and I needed something that would give me encouragement to go on living my life as “normal” as possible.

I am a strong believer in the phrase “Everything happens for a reason” and I know that we all have our own, individual, purpose, according to God’s will. Even still it is hard to deal with all of the sadness going on around me…especially with those I love and care for dearly. Read more

Accepting the Bible as the ABSOLUTE TRUTH

Filed Under Depression, Encouragement, Faith, Life | Leave a Comment

I had a personal question to which I searched the Bible for the answer and thought I found it when I read;

Philippians 4:13 (NIV) I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
