A hodge-podge of stuff – silly musings, health and wellness, bible study, book & movie reviews, music, parenting tips, etc…just things I want to NEVER forget. #1Life
Jeremiah 29:11-13 "I alone know the plans I have for you, prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. Then you will seek me. and you will find me because you seek me with all your heart."
So how's 2023 treating you so far? I do hope that some of the magic of new years eve still remains.
This morning I'll be sharing something personal.
2022 was hell for me. Yes, I still battle that dark demon of depression and was even admitted to a recovery center. I know many of you have the same problem. I was blessed with a wonderful support system, my family. To top it all off my husband was diagnosed with MS. We know he can deal with it in faith, though.
Dear friends, time passes so quickly and you never know what lies around the next corner. God has a plan, but so has the devil. Be careful, don't stray from the light no matter how bad things get.
I hope you have a wonderful day. God bless.
With love, Sharon

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Source: You Version app – Revelation 3:20 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.3.20.KJV
As we enter this new year, I encourage you to open that door. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to allow Jesus Christ into your home and heart.
Every year we get another chance, a fresh start to turn back to Him who made us.
Friends let go of the past and put your trust in the Lord. I read something in one of my books. It says, ‘done bun can’t be undone’. You can’t change the past so you need to let go of every quarrel, every mistake, every moment that you perhaps treated others disrespectly. It’s in past and cannot be changed. It’s done. It’s over.
So, instead of contemplating bad moments, look to the future, open that door and let the light of Christ bring hope and everlasting life.
I wish you, my dear followers a wonderful and blessed 2023.
“So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.” GNBUK
Life can be overwhelming at times. We are bombarded by relationships that do not work out well, finances can be an issue, we worry about our kids constantly, the list goes on. Society has become toxic on every level and some people cannot cope and burn out or abuse substances in an effort to blank out these negative issues.
But what does Jesus say. Read the scripture again. Jesus says that we need not worry about tomorrow. He encourages us to focus on today, this moment. Why? Because tomorrow will bring worries of its own.
Focus your strength on today. Do what you can and let go of the rest. God will provide every time as you will find in the scripture below.
Hebrews 4:16: “Let us have confidence, then, and approach God’s throne, where there is grace. There we will receive mercy and find grace to help us just when we need it.” GNBUK
We should, instead of worrying, humbly and with thanks, reach out to God, share your problems and He will answer your prayers for nothing is impossible to God.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” KJV
Sometimes life gets in the way of our faith. We should know that, being a believer, the devil will constantly tempt us and plant obstacles in our way. Remember is it NOT God who tempt us, but He may ALLOW difficulties to test us and give support to those who need Him.
James 1:13: “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man” KJV
While your struggles may feel overwhelming, you have to remember that God is on your side. It may not feel that way while you are in the storm. You may question everything holy and good, asking: “Why me, Lord?”
Think about Peter whom Jesus told to walk on the stormy water. He was very confident at first. But….
Matthew 14:30:”…. when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.”
Peter lost faith and felt afraid when he noticed the intensity of the storm. And look what he does; he reaches out to Jesus to help him.
Matthew 14:31:”And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” KJV
Just like Peter we need to keep in mind the power of our Lord. If you are dealing with endless negative issues, you MUST HAVE faith and reach out to God through our Savior Jesus Christ.
I do hope you understand that you are NOT alone and that the light of God will lead you through all your trials.
