“No human relationship can satisfy the deep soul-need you have. A relationship with a man cannot match it, no matter how hard you try. No husband can meet that kind of need for his wife; only Jesus can do that. And that’s the way He wants it.” (David Hagar)

I would like to say to anyone out there that is falling in love or newly in love with someone, Jesus is the only one who can satisfy you. He is the only one who knows you intimately and knows how to meet your needs. Please learn this valuable lesson now. Take the pressure off the person you are in love with. That person will never be able to meet your needs like Jesus can. Do yourself a favor and go to Him and ask Him to meet your needs and not that person. Throw your expectations out the window! There is no human being who is capable of meeting all of your needs. I have had to learn this lesson the hard way. Continue reading “One of Life’s Greatest Challenges” →

I had to have my glasses on or contacts in to see. Continue reading “God-filtered glasses” →

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite super heroes was Batman. I can hear the theme song from the television show playing in my mind. The thing I loved about Batman and other super heroes was the fact that they rescued people from bad things. They fought for people and did everything they could to help them escape from horrible situations. I also wanted a hero to come and rescue me. I wanted someone to take me out of my circumstances, but no one ever did. Continue reading “I Need A Hero” →

Most of my life, I functioned with a broken heart. I didn’t wake up every day and think that my heart was broken. I got so used to it that I didn’t really notice it. I became numb to my heart because it was easier to deal with my life if I just ignored it. Denial can be a good thing for awhile but then you have to deal with the issues that are staring you in the face. I didn’t realize how damaged it was until I had to deal with the hurt.

When you are a parent one of the things you love to do is brag on your kids to other people. You want to tell your friends and everyone else you see the great things your child says or does. I think my girls are pretty special and I love talking about them to my friends. Of course, they aren’t perfect and we have had our struggles, but I feel like they are the biggest blessings in my life. I am so proud to be their Mom. Continue reading “My Abba Father” →
