Sometimes I sit and write…I have to find a way to encourage myself. This is it for me today…

The Unbeatable Spirit of Faith
This morning I needed a bit of a pick me up. I have a lot to do today and many times with so much going on, it’s easy to get discouraged. Knowing this, I decided to be proactive. I grabbed a quick inspirational read that would get my day going in the right direction.
“The Unbeatable Spirit of Faith” by Gloria Copeland did the trick. Packed with scripture and knowledgable quotes from the word of God, it affirmed in my spirit that
all things are possible with God
So now it’s up and at’em with my day as I believe God is able in every situation of my life.
Walk It Out Wednesday 6/6/12
Today is the first of many…It is the middle of the week. It is the day when many of us are ready for the week to be over and we are looking forward to the weekend. Well, we are going to turn this day into something else. It is going to be Walk It Out Wednesday. On this day I want you to think of five things that you would like to get accomplished by the end of the night. You can choose 2 things that you will do by 11am, another that you will do by 1pm and the last 2 that you will do by 11:59pm. ( If that is not convenient for you, set your own goals to achieve, but they must be accomplished by 11:59pm) Now I understand that this may seem like a stretch, but let me tell you…YOU CAN DO IT!!! All it takes is for you to trust that God will help you as you put one foot in front of the other in order walk this day out, giving it all that you’ve got. These things can fall in any category that you desire.
Here is my list for Walk It Out Wednesday…
Morning
1. Clean My Kitchen
2. Have quality time with my kids without distractions
Noon
3. Read My Bible
Evening
4. Complete at least one assignment for one class
5. Fold Laundry and Put it Away
After they have been accomplished, I will come back and blog about them. Today I declare “I CAN DO IT! I WILL WALK IT OUT!!!”
Feel free to post your 5 things in the comment section and to blog about the on your own blog if you have one.

One Moment
On a normal bases there is so much for a mother to do. There the cooking and the cleaning. The tending and the mending. There are always things that have to be done. It can get a little bit overwhelming at times and that’s the truth. Yet I am also reminded that there is another truth. God will never put more on me than I can bare. Yes times may get hard and we may struggle, stumble and fall. Do you know what we must remember? There is someone readily available with outstretched arms to pick us up at any time.
It is so hard sometimes to remember that we are not alone, but it’s true. We are not alone in anything. There isn’t anywhere that we can go away from the presence of God. Now I don’t say that to sound cliche. Instead I say that a recognized truth in my own life. I have been through some hard times. Afraid to discuss them I hid and felt alone, but He was there. He was always tugging on me to take a minute to come to Him. I was kind of afraid. I had been hurt by so many people that I didn’t want Him to hurt me too. What I needed to realize was that He would never hurt me. In spite of all that I had ever heard from another individual, God isn’t like that.
He cherishes me. I am special to Him. He says that I am the apple of His eye. Do you know what that does to the life of an individual that feels like everything is falling apart? If not, I’ll tell you. It give them hope. It says that someone cares and that is important. There were times when I felt so small and wanted to give up, but He just won’t let me quit. What a loving God! He always finds a way to encourage me.
Today I want to encourage you to stop and realize that you are loved. You are not alone. If you need anything ask the One who can provide it. He is faithful. I can’t even count how many times He has helped me. There have been so many times where He would just tell me that He loves me. I know you may be wondering what I mean. But in my heart I would hear the sound of the Lord telling me that He loves me. The great thing is that He has enough love to share. He loves you too!
