God, I Don’t Understand What You’re Doing: 3 Ways to Let God Be Your GPS

  "God, I don't understand what you're doing." In this year of faith, I find myself saying this a lot. It's hard to understand what He's doing when it's hard to hear Him speak.  Especially when He leads you in one direction and then decides to tell you to turn where you didn't expect.  Because sometimes, you know, God does that.  He starts by saying, "Go like you're going toward California."  Then, later on, he says, "Now I want you to turn left toward Texas."  Two different locations, but you have to go like you're going West first and then…

Goal Setting: Week of July 26, 2015

Okay, so this week wasn't quite as bad as last week with accomplishing goals, but it still wasn't great either.  What I really need to do is focus on my prayer time and my physical goals.  I'm really feeling sluggish right now, so what I'm doing currently needs to stop.  I didn't quite get all the cleaning and ironing done, but I also did 4 extra loads of sheets and blankets (thanks to Rapunzel), crushed 2 large trash bags of aluminum cans, and swept the basement stairs, so I figure it's a wash.

Don’t Give Up: A Lesson in Perseverance

Lately, I really feel like God has really been putting the topic of persistence on my heart.  It first came up when I read the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:2-6.  Here's how my Bible reads: "...In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.  And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' For some time he refused.  But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet because…

Goal Setting: Week of July 19, 2015

This week was a terrible week in terms of accomplishing my goals.  I accomplished a lot in terms of blog views and updates, etc., but I spent so much time working on the blog that I failed in every other area.  This is why I reevaluate every week to figure out what's working and what's not.  So without further ado, here's how I did this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (2/7) Mental: Journal (2/7) Physical: No soda 8 c. of water daily Exercise (3/7) Family: Devotions with Prince Charming (1/7) Devotions with Princess Anna and Rapunzel(3/7) 1 hour…
