Hello, wonderful Recharge Wednesday Community! Before you start reading this beautiful post, let me introduce you to my new friend Bethany McIIrath. I had been looking for a new contributor for our Wednesday Linkup parties for several weeks, praying and asking God to show me who to invite. I browsed several blogs. Looks at several statements of faith. Prayed and prayed, and for several weeks did not have that green light from the Holy Spirit... until I came across this sweet, godly young Continue Reading
When You Can’t Forgive Yourself {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 Key Verse: “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” V.17 I’ve met several people along the years who claimed that they couldn’t stop thinking about their past sins, those decisions they made before accepting Christ as their Savior. One particular lady suffered with self-depreciating thoughts for many years following her salvation. Although she believed God had cast her sins as far as Continue Reading
How Did I Get Here Again? {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
Christy Mobley for Recharge Wednesday Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I can’t believe I did this again or how did I get caught in this same trap?” Ahem… Me too. And when you did, what did it look like? Too many shopping bags and a bazillion dollar credit card bill? Too many obligations because you just couldn’t say no? A big hurt because your big heart got you in trouble? I know, you only wanted to help just this one time (which is every time). Maybe it was that you were Continue Reading
Go To the Garden {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
At the beginning of the summer, one of my best friends came to me and asked if I would lead a Bible Study for the ladies in her neighborhood. Teaching ladies is one of my great passions so, after I consulted the Lord, I told her I would. I was excited to see what the Lord would do! But as I began processing through this time together and really just trembling in my shoes trying to figure out what direction to go in for this study, one question kept coming to mind: “Lord, what can I do with Continue Reading
The Stressful Storms of Change {#RechargeWednesday LINKUP}
"And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”" Matthew 28: 23-24 Stress has a way of finding us when we least expect it. Smooth sailing on the open sea of life lands you in the middle of a storm, as the 'weather' changes in a Continue Reading
The Power of a Simple Prayer {RechargeWednesday LINKUP}
George Mueller was a German-born evangelist who lived in the 19th century and was mostly known for his love and devotion to orphans. He dedicated his life and ministry to providing shelter, food and education for over 10,000 children during his lifetime. Yesterday morning during my quiet time, I came across a story about him that gave me pause. Mueller was aboard a ship, crossing the Atlantic for an important meeting in Quebec. A dense fog had descended, making it impossible for the vessel to Continue Reading
