His Grace My Weaknesses – The Nature of Prayer

Posted By Leave a Comment

Wendy calls herself a thirty-something Jesus-girl who loves worship service, being debt-free, living simply and being home with her family! Her post on The Nature of Prayer is one of my favorite posts on her blog.

She writes that “Prayer also trains us to hear what God has to say to us. Listening to God requires more patience and more practice than talking to Him does. But when we listen to God, He provides guidance as we seek His will.”

Prayer is an important part of our relationship with God. Praying opens our hearts and mind to God and reminds us that he is the one we should lean on for strength, love and faith and guidance!

Trust in the LORD

Posted By Leave a Comment

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6. This is one of my favorite verses. It’s my daily reminder of who to put my trust in. The Bible says that if we trust in Him and put Him first in our lives that He will take care of our needs. We live our lives not knowing what each day will bring but knowing that the one in whom we place our trust does know and will watch over us.

Many find that it is easy to trust and believe when things are going well but the true test comes when things may not be going as we want them to and we don’t understand why. Putting our faith and trust in the LORD relieves our mind of worry and stress. It changes our attitudes and our actions. He provides wisdom, love, goodness, and righteousness and without Him we can do nothing!

Faith Through Love

Posted By Leave a Comment

We live by faith and we love by faith.  Our faith expresses itself through love. I believe faith without love holds no meaning. “Though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2. Faith works through love. Give yourself to the love of God so your faith will be magnified. Faith and love are inseparable. They belong together. We must live our lives with love in our hearts so our faith shines positively through our actions.

Faith and love in our everyday lives is shown in many ways.  We can show kindness to one another so that we do not lose faith in humanity. We can rejoice with one another instead of being envious. We can show gratitude to our family and friends. We can seek forgiveness and offer forgiveness to those that need it.  We can pray for one another, offer hope and unconditional love. We can worship God through faith that is expressed by loving one another. [Continue reading...]

Pays 2 Save – Don’t Waste Another Dollar

Posted By Leave a Comment

Anything that will help me save money is a good thing! I love reading money saving blogs and Joannie at Pays 2 Save offers lots of tips on getting deals, saving with coupons and finding freebie offers! Joannie is a Christian, wife, mother, business woman, and student! She was in the Air Force for 8 years and was a licensed practical nurse. Impressive!

This is a great website if you like to save money with coupons. If you have trouble finding coupons that you need for your favorite products then check out her coupon database. It lists many different types of coupons and where they can be found, what date they were put out, the coupons value and the expiration date. If you are new to couponing start with the coupon 101 tab where you can learn coupon basics including the most commonly used abbreviations, coupon policies, and Sunday coupon previews. I fall in the beginner category so this is where I’ll start!

She also lists any great freebie offers she finds. Recent ones included a free candle sample at NorthWood Candle Compay, one free sample of Shout Wipes and Publix free $50 Coupon Booklet (they are all gone now). Publix is my favorite place to buy groceries so I wish I had [Continue reading...]
