It was interesting to me when I discovered that not only do we have love languages, but also apology languages. In the same way there’s a particular way each of us best receives love, we also receive apologies best in a particular way. For some, you really need to express remorse and articulate what exactly… Continue reading Do You Know How She Best Receives Apologies?
Focusing on His Love
An effective way of dealing with thoughts you don’t want to have is by focusing on something else. Thinking about something else. Resisting the unwanted thoughts is sometimes an activity in futility. I like this analogy: if I don’t want to go West, then all I need to do is go East, North or South.… Continue reading Focusing on His Love
Intimacy with The Father
As I continue to give time for lengthy conversations with God, the more intimate our relationship becomes. I’m learning to be more vulnerable with Him, not acting like He doesn’t know what I’m thinking or feeling..it’s interesting how we do that sometimes, ignoring emotions and feelings we have as though God isn’t aware of them..I’ve… Continue reading Intimacy with The Father
Happy Birthday to Me!
This 30th year was, in the words of a friend, “quite something!” My life experience has been the best it’s been in many years: my intimacy with God has grown to greater depths - I’m more aware of His love for me & who I am and what I have in Jesus; I stepped into… Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me!
Feel No Shame
FEEL NO SHAME. Feel no shame in reading Bible devotionals, listening to sermons, reading spiritual articles...in the natural, when we start off in school, we’re not handed text books and told to teach ourselves. We rely heavily on the help of our teachers to help us read, and understand what we’re reading. Bit by bit,… Continue reading Feel No Shame
Letting Go
Learning to let go of my agenda, my plan and lean in to what God has in mind. How about you start your day that way today? Let go of all the reigns of your life and let Him lead. Maintain an awareness of His ever abiding presence. He never leaves you, will never forsake… Continue reading Letting Go
Peace
These past couple of days I’ve been learning the importance of peace: both internal and external. Which emails do I need to unsubscribe from? When should I check social media? When do I just need to step away and be alone? Having a life with less clutter and more room to think on who and… Continue reading Peace
QT Struggles
The piece of advice I received yesterday at a monthly event I attended about my life not being my own was quite something. The point isn’t only that it doesn’t belong to me; it’s also about who it belongs to. It belongs to God. Therefore, I can’t go about my life without daily engaging and… Continue reading QT Struggles
I want to hear from God, personally.
I really desired to hear from God. He speaks to people directly? I wanted that. I had a good friend who every so often would mention how God told Him this and and told Him that. I was like, “Heh, I also want to be told!” Enter the book “How You Can Be Led By… Continue reading I want to hear from God, personally.
Rest
Sabbaths/rest days do wonders. Those are Mondays for me. That means I don't schedule meetings on Mondays, I avoid stuff that's work-related. Instead, I take time to relax. My mind is free to evaluate where things are at thus far in the various spheres of my life, without being concerned about an upcoming meeting in… Continue reading Rest
