Spiritual Warfare Verses - 7 Scriptures To Inspire You To Fight Well

/

I personally think it is important to remember that we are in a war. There is a fight happening all around us. Every day the culture shows us just how much worse it is constantly growing. You cannot turn on the news without another heart-wrenching story of some tragedy affecting some part of the world or even your own neighborhood. Then there our own personal battles and challenges in our day to day lives. 

Spiritual warfare is all around us. Luckily we have so many wonderful promises and truths to stand on from God’s word. These are things we can cling to with life is tough and they are things we can declare over our world and the hurting people around us. 

Today I want to share some of my favorite verses to cling to constantly. These are the verses you should jot down and post around your home. You should journal them and read them regularly so that you can commit them to your memory and bust them out when overwhelm or distractions begin to crowd in.

How To Forgive: When You Want To Let It Go But Just Can't

/

Now I don’t know what “it” is for you all. “It” could be any number of things. It could be that somebody hurt you. Maybe your spouse or your mother in law said something that just keeps echoing in your mind and you can’t seem to let it go and move on. Maybe somebody wronged you. Maybe your neighbor got an extra car and he now parks in his driveway AND your parking spot. Maybe you didn’t get the promotion you were clearly next in line to get. Maybe you got skipped, forgotten, left behind, walked over or disrespected. 

Or maybe you messed up. Maybe you dropped the ball big time. Everyone says it’s okay but you just can’t move on and forgive yourself. Maybe you hurt someone else. Maybe you really hurt someone you love and you just don’t know how to move forward. Maybe you failed at something that wanted to prosper. 

Today I want to share sometimes for What To Do When You Want To Let It Go But Just Can’t!

I Didn't Do What I Was Supposed To Do...So Now What Do I Do? | Dealing with Guilt and Condemnation

/

Man. Who isn’t all too familiar with this feeling? “I didn’t do what I know I was supposed to do and now I don’t know what to do.” That is the worst. For me, this plays out in social situations. I know I should go say hello to someone or that I should strike up a conversation with this person or that person and I spam out and let anxiety and fear keep me from doing it and then I guilt and shame myself for not doing it so next time an opportunity pops up I am buried beneath my own idea of how much I suck so I fail again. 

Goodness, there are so many ways this scenario could work itself out. Maybe you were supposed to do something that you didn’t want to do so you just didn’t. Maybe you felt lead to accept a job or make a big move or share the gospel with someone and you ignored it. 

Today I want to focus on what you do after you failed to do what you should have done.

The Key To Overcoming Fear of Rejection

/

I remember the night I got saved. I cried myself to sleep because I was so wonderfully overwhelmed by the fact that if I died I would go to heaven and be with Jesus. I was overwhelmed that Jesus would want to spend all of eternity with me. I am still overwhelmed that He choose to give His life just to make a way to spend forever with me.

Still, life goes on. Even as a Christian people will turn you away. They will reject you and offend you. How do we deal with these situations? How do we deal with rejection in a way that keeps us from retaliating and sinning in our anger? How do we find a way to love in the midst of rejection? I have been going through this quite a bit lately and I think I have some tips and encouragements  to share. This is just some stuff that the Lord has been sharing with me.

My Favorite Christian Quotes

/

I love quotes you guys! I have collected them for as long as I can remember. I have a journal from when I was 12 years old that is packed full of embarrassing middle schooler quotes. I have a book of far more mature quotes that I add to regularly ever since I saw A Walk to Remember and Jamie’s mom left that quote book for her when she passed. Then Jamie gave it to Landon when she was ill and then Landon gave it back to the dad later. Gosh. Love that that movie.

Anyway, I have a whole volume packed full of quotes I just love and today I want to share some of my absolute favorite quotes. I set out to share ten but then it grew to fifteen and now were up to twenty. These are just some of my favorites.

How To Be A Tremendous Person

/

 Who doesn’t want to be better? A better friend. A better mother, sister, wife. A better daughter, niece, employee? There something in us that makes us want to be better. We are a reflection of a perfect and holy God and as long as we are walking with Him in this life we are always improving. Our character becoming more and more like His. 

Today I want to just quickly share something I have been reflecting on lately. What makes a tremendous person tremendous? Tremendous means extremely good or impressive. That’s a huge word nevertheless does someone come to mind when you think of that definition? 

Who someone in your life that you think is a tremendous person? What about this person makes them fit this definition in your mind? What is it about this person’s character and behaviors that make them stand out to you?
