God Eases our Fears…Decision Made

God eases our fears…standing on this promise. 

Psalm 34:4-5; ESV ↠ I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.

Today, after much prayer and discussion with others, I made a final and official
decision concerning my Master’s degree in Healthcare Chaplaincy.
I
have decided to go for my Master’s with Thesis track. 
God gave me an
assignment and I must finish it. 
He is the foundation I stake my claim
on. 
Holy Spirit guide me onwards. 
May all this be done for the Glory of
His Kingdom and not mine. 
Liberty University Online Programs, the Rawlings School of Divinity and Liberty University have been so supportive in walking along side of me as I continue my educational journey. 
Seriously, if you ever decide to go to College or Grad School look up www.liberty.edu I have nothing but praise to say about the academic advisors, the admissions staff, and professors.

WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART

there’s a secular song called “Waiting is the Hardest Part” and that is so true. 
the thing is joy can be found in the waiting. 
healing can happen in the waiting. rest can be gained in the waiting. 
hope can be realized in the waiting. 
faith will become fully realized in the waiting. 
and God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit will be with you in the waiting.
 isn’t that a great set of promises. 
and aren’t we lucky to know there is someone we can turn to when we feel we are in the hardest part of our lives. 
because believe me…there are many others including myself that can tell you the hardest part is being separated from our Lord in our frustration. 
so how do we move past this feeling…it may sound cliché…but… look to the Lord, read His word, breath, get out among community and be with like minded individuals.

MEMORIAL DAY 2018

As I sit here thinking of all the men and women who have died so that I may be free. 

I realize that I am truly blessed to live in a nation where I have the freedom to just even write this blog, or go to any university I choose, or allow my adult-child with a disablity live at home with me. 

Here I am sitting here in the sunshine waiting for my veteran husband to return home with some extra groceries for dinner, and I wonder about the husband and wives whose spouse is not around to run errands for them. I wonder about the mothers and fathers who do have the support of their children’s other parent anymore.

These soldiers, sailors, and airmen chose to enter into a service where they knew they were going to be called up at anytime to go anywhere because their government asked them too. They willing walked into harms way so that we may be free.

From Concord and Lexington to Falujah and Kandahar. From 1775 to 2018.

Memorial Day means so much more than just a three day weekend. So take a moment and think of them before you open that cabin door, or go boating or canoeing, or grill that brat or burger, or play in the yard with your kids.

It should be our honor to acknowledge them for all they have done. I hope that I will always be able to stand for the national anthem, that I will proudly fly the American Flag, and thank God for them everyday.

Wrapping up Spring Semester 2018

TWO MORE WEEKS:
Just two more weeks … and then Spring 2018 will be in the books … and I will be moving on into my last five classes and final two semesters for my Bachelor’s…
AACCKKK! Excited, nervous, ready to be done…
Here’s the thing…
I am so blessed to be going to a University that is God-fearing, Bible believing, and willing to help when I have even the silliest of questions.
When I started this renewed journey to finish my education in the Fall of 2015 I never thought that this would be the time I would be done…
But it has, and I want to thank all who are praying for me, loving me, supporting me, and pushing me through.

First Days of May 2018

Here we are into the first days of May 2018.
Every now and then I find that I need to give some inspirational advice, especially in today’s world of negativity, not only from the outside, but a battle within. 
And one of the best places to find it is on Pinterest. You could say I’m a bit obsessed with the site. (Yeah, I am one of those with over 45,000 pins.) 
We are so blessed to live in an age when what we want to impart is already written out for us. 
So, I hope that part or all of what is conveyed below will inspire and motivate you to find out who you are and do it on purpose. (Dolly Parton)
And a special one for all the girls in my life and those reading this post…we are so lucky to be a girl today.
