Thoughts of an Every Day Christian

I had a recent conversation with a close friend about Faith and Fear. This person was stressing about the future and feeling worry and wondering if things would work out the way he was wanting them to. He was struggling and feeling overwhelmed. This is what I shared with him. Faith CANNOT exist where there is fear and worry. God says over and over again to "Be not afraid, only believe." and "ask in faith and it shall be given you." These phrases are repeated quite often in the scriptures.  God wants us to place our faith in Him. He has promised that when we chose Faith over Fear, then He will be with us, He will bless us, and He will answer our prayer. I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. I ASK for Miracles. I have learned two things through my trials growing up. 1. God WANTS to bless us. 2. When I choose Faith, God takes care of me :) I want to invite you, the next time you feel overwhelmed worrying about the future, take a deep breath and ask for a Miracle. T...

I didn't write this, I got this forwarded to my email by a friend. God is Aware of Our Lives. When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities; When GOD doesn't solve our problems HE has faith in our abilities. God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. . . . . -those of the canary in 14 days; -those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; -eggs of ducks and geese in 28 days; -those of the mallard in 35 days; -The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!) God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs fir...

I have a dear friend on a mission right now. I am always inspired by her words of faith and joy! Here are a couple thoughts form her last email. I just wanted to give you all a life tip that REALLY helped me yesterday.:) When you have a hard day, at the end of the day, write in your journal, and only write all the beautiful things of the day and all the moments when you felt God's love. It will flip the state of you heart upside down. And you will reflect on things in a totally different light. Will you do it? I promise if you do, you will look back on your day and think"wow, that day was actually incredible. Heavenly Father loves me so much.:)" Something Else that will be helpful to you* Take time to slow down, and PRAY sincerely. IF you feel bothered or upset just TELL Heavenly Father about it, don't pretend everything is fine and just thank him for a billion blessings(though being thankful is amazing) but just get it ALL out, all off your chest. Preac...
