I am Worthy of His Love

Where do you get your worthiness? Or let me ask you this, where do you try to get your worthiness? Is it from your job? From your spouse? From how you parent your children?

You know who sees us as worthy? God. No matter what I have done, God loves me and I am worthy.
God is worthy of our trust, love, devotion, and worship.

That is the topic of the devotional today. Sorry it took me so long to get back to it...it's been a little crazy and I am finally getting back to a good groove with Remy. To let you in on my world for a minute before we dive into the devotional: my sister, brother-in-law, and their two children moved 8 hours away from us. My sister and I spent a lot of time together before she left, which I am so thankful for. We are very close and we won't let distance stop us from that. I am excited about what God has in store for them. 



I have to admit to you...I struggle with my worth. It's hard sometimes to view myself as worthy. But I am. To my Father in heaven, I am worthy. He chose me to be a wife and a mother. 


Psalm 23 is often read at funerals, but it's meaning is much deeper than that. Anyone who struggles can refer to this passage of scripture for peace. God is there through it all and wants us to experience His peace. We just have to accept it. I love the verse "Yes, though I walk through the dark valley, I will fear no evil". We all go through some pretty dark valleys. Whether it's physical, mental, or spiritual struggle, we want the mountain top but we must go through the valley to get there. And God is there when we go through the valley; more importantly, we have nothing to fear because He will see us through it. He will be there to comfort us. Because he thinks of us as worthy. So why should we look at ourselves any different?

Today's challenge: Find something outside that God created to marvel at. Whether it's beautiful weather, clouds, birds, your child...just stand in awe of His beauty.

Question to Ponder:
1) Find evidence that will convince you of your worthiness. 
John 3:16- For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. That is proof enough for me.

2) Where is the first place you usually go when you desire to feel worthy?
I am really not sure. I never think of myself as worthy, but I am definitely changing that way of thinking.

Until next time, make it a great day!

10 Ways to Have True Intimacy with Your Spouse

Recently, I have had this want to grow closer to God. I don't want to just be knowledgeable about the bible, (although inspired by my sister, I am on a quest to read the bible from cover to cover. As we all know, I am an avid reader and after talking to her about it, with all of the books we read...why not just read and study the bible from Genesis to Revelation? I realize that this will take a long time, but I am up for the challenge!) I want to really know God and connect with Him on an intimate level. I want my prayer life to be more than just praying in the morning and asking Him for the things of the day. Well to help me on my journey, I am three videos into this wonderful series from RightNow Media: It was exactly what I was looking for...how to have an intimate relationship with God when you have a busy life. Sometimes we get so sucked into our routines and busy schedules that we forget that we just need to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to Him and connect. Ma...

Not another New Year's Resolution post...

Image
It's the first week of January and tons of articles, blogs, and tips are being released on organization, goal setting, losing weight, etc. I have to admit...I am a goal setter. For the past several years, I have spent time before Jan 1st to write down goals I want to achieve for the year. I am an annoyingly organized person, but I love the feeling of accomplishment. So what does this have to do with marriage or how does it help? Well, I know that K thrives on organization and structure as much as I do. Keeping our home life organized and structured helps our relationship succeed. I know how much K appreciates a clean house, cooked meals, etc so I strive to meet that. I make to do lists and work really hard to cross everything off. So that brings me back to goal setting. I set goals for myself so I can become an even better wife and person.  Being able to not only set the goals for yourself but actually achieve them, makes you feel like you have purpose and it makes you feel goo...

What Will You Choose?

After reading a post by  Sheila Wray Gregoire  about daddy issues and  a conversation I had this morning...this post sparked in my head and I prayed about it. My  first post explained  why I wanted to do this blog, but it went deeper than that and now I feel it's a good time to elaborate on it. Marriage wasn't an easy topic for me. My parents divorced when I was 2 and both remarried. I also saw divorce in other areas of the family and wondered if it was going to be possible for me to have a happy marriage. I even went through a brief period before K and I got married where I was scared to get married. I didn't want to fall into another failed marriage listed in my family. I wondered if I could really do this??  I had one serious boyfriend before K and I thought I was in love with him. But, I knew in my heart he wasn't the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. After we broke up, I had in my mind what kind of man I wanted to date. God blesse...
