THE POWER OF PRIORITIES

How do I regroup when life gets messy? Join me in this week’s episode and blog as I share about how to recover from the clutter or after a week where the “laundry,” or whatever it may be, piles up. How do we recover? How do we regroup and refocus? We are not meant to do everything. We are not capable of doing everything. Success is not how much we cross off the list, instead it is doing what the Lord has called us to do each day. Life does not happen staring down at the list but staring up at the Lord. Therefore, we can prioritize based on Him, living on mission every day. That is the topic of this week’s episode that is packed with tips even if it gets a bit messy.

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’sTruth Seeking devotional.

♡ It is about prioritizing with the Lord and seeking Him first.

CLARITY IN CHOICE

Are you like me?

I have never really liked decision making. Yet, choices need to be made all the time. So how do we ensure we are leaning into God’s wisdom and not allowing worldly fear to decide?

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’sTruth Seeking devotional.

Silence the Fears with Praise

Have you ever been tempted to hold back in praising God just in case or for another reason?

Maybe it’s with thoughts like…

Let me make sure I’m not getting ahead of this… or I don’t want to speak too soon…

I remember growing up and being afraid to allow happiness for fear that it would go away. Wow! What chains to carry.

Still, I share because I pray that I use God’s Word to bring His hope to anyone who may fear that right now. Here is the thing… being happy is a feeling. Happiness is a choice. We can’t always control circumstances but we decide how we react and what we focus on. Fear can try to have such a hold on us BUT that is not the way the Lord wants us to live.

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” (‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

God has more for us! So much MORE!

♡ And that is the theme and topic of this week’sTruth Seeking devotional.

♡ It is all about fixing our FOCUS and fighting away the fears with praise!

GOD BREAKS CHAINS, NOT PROMISES

When we feel unpeaceful

and unrest,

let’s remember: testimonies come

from the test.

GOD BREAKS CHAINS, NOT PROMISES. He promises peace, a peace He gives to us that is not like the world.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’s Truth Seeking devotional.

♡ It is all about fixing our FOCUS and standing on God’s promises, including His perfect peace.

TO THE PACE OF MY FATHER’S HEART

Maybe my mess is really part of His masterpiece.

This is just a friendly reminder...to myself, and anyone else who may need to hear it, that it’s okay to lay aside the mess... TO REST. There will always be more to do and more “messes” to clean up, but still God’s Word calls us to rest. It calls us to trust.

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’s Truth Seeking devotional. It discusses how to make rest, a lifestyle. It shares a moment as mom as well as a lesson from the Bible from Exodus about availability and obedience.

For I continue to learn, God can do so much more with 6 days, than we alone can do with 7. And that every single moment has a choice: to hurry and worry, or TO REST and trust in God. ♡

GOD KNOWS MY NAME

I was once blinded by shame until I learned the Truth: God knew and knows my name!

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’s Truth Seeking devotional. It discusses how to walk in God’s Truth and speak life over our lives even during those challenging times.

It shares part of my testimony as well as a powerful one from the Bible, the story of Joseph in the Book of Genesis.

and He is working! ♡

Jesus is Still in the Boat

No matter how it may seem or feel…

Jesus is by our side.

Then, why do we fear? Why do we doubt? Why do we question the quiet times or even the times that rage? Why do we question why God sends us places where we may feel inferior or like it’s too big for us? Why do we entertain the feelings when God's promises are true?

Honestly, I question myself on this and this is what I find time and time again… it is because we are human. We are walking through a journey, a real-not-perfect one.

Still there is so much to learn during the storms of life like the disciples learned in Mark 4:35-41. That’s the topic of this week’s Truth Seeking Right Here Right Now devotional… JESUS IS STILL IN THE BOAT.

Fixing Our Focus

Focus, focus, focus…

These days everything seems to be fighting for my focus. And while I am a very focused person, the reality is my focus is sometimes flawed and even tangled up in confusion. That is why I must first turn to to Jesus time and time again. Jesus knows the course. He guides us so graciously to stay the course.

What helps you focus? What do you do to keep yourself focused on Jesus FIRST?

For this week’s devotional, let’s go back to the Book of Revelations when Jesus instructed John to write to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Let’s focus on Sardis and how its present didn't match its past yet it was a powerhouse at the time. You see they were content with their past encounters with the Lord but not moving forward in their relationship with Him.

Can we get like that too? Focused on what God has already done and not in growing our relationship with Him deeper? Well that is the focus of this week’s Truth Seeking Right Here Right Now devotional called… Fix our Focus.

Eyes on the Prize

Busyness can be a distraction. It can make us feel like we are being productive but busy does not always mean productive.

I think of Eve, Martha and David and how they all faltered in their distractions. But I think of Nehemiah and how despite soooo many distractions he continued on what he was called to do, rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. I want to be like Nehemiah even now as I write this and I see the notifications on my phone competing for my attention. I need to keep my eyes fixed on what matters, on what I don’t necessarily see, on eternity…

Check it out in this week’s Truth Seeking Right Here Right Now devotional called… Eyes on the Prize.

No New Tricks

I was healed from anxiety in my thirties after decades. Then, flash forward 5.5 years later… I was blessed to be pregnant again at the age of 39 free of anxiety for the first time.

Praise God!

But that didn’t make me invisible to the enemy. He tried at me again and I do plan to continue to share more about this.

The devil tried to steal my joy and peace.

But no one can do that!

You see the devil has no new tricks.

THE CHOICE IS MINE

Life is full of experiences, good and bad. It is full of choices too. Often it involves the choice of how we respond to and through those experiences.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have faced this with many situations including one with my daughter. It required me to make a conscious decision in how I would respond and what my outlook would be despite the situation.

Check it out in this week’s Truth Seeking Right Here Right Now devotional called… The Choice is Mine.
