Here’s a bit of un-edited words that came out in the midst of tears after I got off of the phone with my Mom. She’s getting her 3rd round of chemo tomorrow and is still sick from round two. Feeling alone and helpless and it being too late to call anyone I turned to my friends online, who are truly friends in Christ. Thank you. I am humbled to have you in my life. God uses the simple.

Going Green with the Roots of Jealousy
March 22, 2012 By 1 Comment
I want what you have. I want your new car, your big house or the ministry you have. I want your thin legs. I want your spending money, but I don’t want to give up what I have. I just want it all.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. ~ James 3:16 {Read More}

~via~ I was in my spin class this morning & kept thinking about all of you. Seriously, I was. The instructor kept pushing us harder and harder. The woman next to me was giving it her all & between the 2 of them, they made me want to push harder myself. Go past what I thought I was capable of. I stared in the mirror a moment.

I’m going to tell you how to do everything in your life! (We live in such a society today that we cram too much in. That’s not what this is about. That’s a whole other post.) Take a minute and read these verses. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” (Philippians 2:14-16 - in the NIV version) Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! {Read More}
