Mindful Monday: A Grace Place (by Lysa TerKeurst)

Mindful Monday: Growth-Don’t Get Ahead of God!

This week’s Mindful Monday devotional is about growth.  It happens to all of us whether we like it or not in the physical realm.  We can have a lot to do with it in the spiritual and emotional realms, however.   Growth is important in all areas of our life. … Continue reading

Mindful Monday 2/17: Waiting

Our Mindful Monday devotion this week is on waiting. Nobody likes waiting.  In our modern hurry and scurry world, everything seems to be based on what’s the fastest, most convenient way of getting anything done.  The fastest way to get from point A to point B.  Fast food restaurants make … Continue reading

A Sick Sick Week :)

Hi everyone 🙂 Well I’ve been under the weather most of this past week along with my little guy. A nasty, nasty cold put me out of commission and I didn’t feel like focusing on pretty much anything. Besides the sneezing, runny nose, hiccups (yeah, weird, huh?) I had monster … Continue reading

Mindful Monday: Making Peace

Hi everyone 🙂 Sorry the Mindful Monday devotion is a little late this week. I got busy with laundry and cleaning my bedroom and time got away from me. I did set a reminder on my cell phone to remind myself, but the app I used doesn’t have an alarm … Continue reading

Mindful Monday – NEEDFUL REST!

This week’s “Mindful Monday” devotion is on a topic many of us take for granted:  REST.    Besides the fact that we are COMMANDED to rest, we need to remember that God TELLS us to rest for a very good reason.  We need time to regroup both physically and mentally. … Continue reading

Regrouping and Moving Forward with Intention

 So if you hadn’t noticed, I haven’t blogged the past several days.  I did that intentionally.  I’ve gotten pretty overwhelmed in trying to find ways to blog faster and better/more thoroughly; and I’d gotten in a really bad habit of comparing myself to other coupon bloggers and this blog to … Continue reading

Mindful Monday: Favored and Blessed

MINDFUL MONDAY DEVOTION – DECEMBER 9, 2013 As I’ve been reflecting on how the Lord used my mother’s pneumonia to get her to the ER where they did an MRI on her chest and stomach and found the gangrenous gall bladder that could have killed her had it not been … Continue reading
