Potty Mouth....



I'm embarrassed to admit that one of my many, many daily struggles is with a.....potty mouth. (hanging head in shame) There, I've admited it publicly.


Have you ever noticed that when you are struggling and praying about something, someone or something comes along and it's as though God is speaking directly to you or that He is showing you a way to deal with it? Well, that happens to me a lot...just yesterday in fact.


I've really been doing my best to "clean up" my language, just when I'd start to think that I was conquering it, out pops something causing me to cringe and immediately ask for forgiveness...then feeling quilty, cause I just know it's gonna happen again. A vicious circle.


Back to yesterday....browsing through my fav blogs I follow, and here's the title that caught my eye: "I so don't have it all together" by Melinda Todd of Trailing after God


If you struggle with this or really, with anything, just go read her article, there is nothing I can say here that would do any justice to this subject like she does, it's really an awesome article, it even made me giggle a few times. She's an honest and real Christian and she made me feel better about not being anywhere close to perfect!


Is there something you struggle with daily? I'd love to hear about it...

Faith & Forgiveness


from


Spring is all about renewal to me, and what's better to renew than one's faith. I rarely struggle with my faith per say, but one of the things I do struggle with is "Forgiveness". I am a very forgiving person towards others, it's the forgiveness for myself and my transgressions I'm talking about.

I know I am to repent, I have no problem with that, and I'm to be sincere in my repentance, I am...what I struggle with is letting go of the guilt. I know we are to repent to God, then trust that He forgives us and let it go...THAT'S the part I have trouble with.


I found an article on one of my favorite blogs that really spoke to me about forgiveness towards others and I know a lot of people struggle with exactly that so I wanted to share it with you, as the author, Melinda Todd, does an amazing job with this subject.


So....ENJOY!!!

Prayer is FREE

"The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40
I'm sure by now everyone has seen Ted Williams' story
...and how his mother prayed for him to find his way home. She had not seen him in 10 YEARS.... that is 10 years of prayers for her son, and guess what, God answered! And how did God answer? By sending a good samaritan to pass by where this man was panhandling on an interstate ramp in Columbus, OH
