I found the following quote posted on a friend's facebook wall, fell in love with it, and informed him I was stealing it....

An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there's a battle between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It's anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego.
The other is Good. It's joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth. The grandson thought about it and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

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

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!!!

From The Secret Daily Teachings

When a big change occurs in your life it forces you to change direction. Sometimes the new path may not be easy, but you can be absolutely certain that there is magnificence for you on the new path. You can be absolutely certain that the new path contains things that you could not have experienced otherwise.

When we look back at a negative event that occurred in the past, we often see how in fact it transformed our life. We see how that event directed us toward a life that we would not change for anything.

Love is....1 Cor 13

Happy Valentine's Day

As God's number 1 priority is Love, I thought it only appropriate to post my number one, all-time favorite scripture. For me it is the perfect Valentine love poem.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails…
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5, 13.
