Necessities for Disneyland

I took a Disney trip with my family last Saturday and it was a blast! I wanted to share some "necessities" that I knew I needed to bring on my marvelous Disney day! Keep reading to see what God did! You may think that making sure to bring your wallet, snacks, and your Disney annual pass is a necessity and it certainly is, but I want to share some spiritual necessities that we don't always think about while on vacation or family outings.  1. Time with Jesus. Some of you may follow me on my Instagram or Facebook where I shared the sermonette from Oswald Chambers while on my way to Disneyland. It was a picture of the song 'The Cause of Christ" by Kari Jobe, a bible verse, and this quote;  "When we choose deliberately to obey Him, then He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist us with all His almighty power." -Oswald Chambers Psalm 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. These words...

Be Careful What You Pray For

Do you have a fear that grips your heart? Is there something you fear at work? Do you pray with anxiousness and fear?  I want to share a few of my experiences and what God taught me through them. Last year when Haden had his surgery, and my mom took a leave of absence from work to be with him. She was and still is the director of the learning center we work at. I am the assistant director. I had some support from other directors during her absence, but there were plenty of days where I was running the campus and calling the shots. I was cowardly going into the first work week without my mom. I lacked confidence, I cared too much what people thought of me in vain ways such as; pretending I had all the answers to everyone's problems, and showing no fear or emotion other than a smile. God had quite a bit to teach me. I prayed very hard that I would not have to deal with specific issues during the time that my mom was gone. I was not willing to pray that God would just give...

The Doctor's Song: Part Two

It's cold, the TV is playing a sermon from a church, its about 5am Sunday morning. I am trying to catch up with some sleep in a dark family room after a night of lying next to Haden as he tossed and turned with wires attached to his brain for seizure readings that entire week. My mom had gone through a week of making sure that he didn't turn too much, and my dad would drive out after full hours of work to be there to support my mom at all the times he could. I was able to get a little sleep that morning, but my mom called saying that I needed to get back to the room. Haden wasn't being very responsive and he seemed extremely lethargic. They took us down swiftly to receive a Brain Scan to see if there was any bleeding(that's the biggest concern since they had a grid on his brain). We waited. My dad was on his way. The news came. They told us that there was some bleeding going on. At this point we didn't know how bad. My mom wanting more answer's, but also tryin...

Please take the time to watch this video:  God's Love Story to You See the Bible verses below for the different topics I bring up in the video :)  - God loves you John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” - Adam and Eve, and Sin Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so...
