    What Sins Are You Talking About?

    As you’ve probably experienced, Satan likes to remind us of our sins and our failures. He wants us to feel discouraged and defeated.  There are sins that I’ve asked forgiveness for at least 100 times or more.  And the song below is what God is saying to me when I repeat myself over and over again. “What sins are you talking about? I don’t remember them anymore…” We must take God at His Word.

    Attacks from Satan are Real…Here’s what to do

    In the busyness of life, we need to remember to stay watchful of attacks from Satan.  He constantly walks around looking for someone to devour.  Sometimes we fall prey to his antics; he’s a master at deceit. We might find ourselves getting angry and blaming others for our problems, when in reality there’s a REAL spiritual battle going on with Satan and his demons. Satan wants to destroy your home, your marriage, your testimony…and most of all your faith! Looking back to the Garden of Eden, we can learn that Satan often mixes just a little bit of truth in with his lies so that we will be easily deceived. …

    How to Avoid a Gooey Mess

    Wait:  verb – to stay in a place until an expected event happens, until someone arrives, until it is your turn to do something, etc. – to not do something until something else happens – to remain in a state in which you expect or hope that something will happen soon *Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wait Waiting in line at the grocery store has never been on my list of favorite things to do .  When I’m in hurry to get somewhere, sitting at a red light is a little exhausting on my patience.  When there’s a long line for the bathroom, and I really need to go, I’m practically on the borderline…
