Prayer For Nov. 8th

Hello, Friends! Here is the prayer for today…

Dear Lord,

We are told that whatever we do in word or deed, we should do everything in the name of Jesus and give thanks to you through Him…we are told to give thanks to you because you are good…to give thanks to you, Lord of Lords, because your love is eternal and you are faithful…we are to give thanks to you for your indescribable gift, Jesus…we are to never stop giving thanks…we are to overflow with thanks…

For many who are praying with us, they are offering a sacrifice of praise today. Their hearts are heavy and they are not feeling like praising, but praise always lifts our spirits…it lifts us to a place that is beyond our struggles…it helps us to find peace as we enter into your presence.

Lord, life can be hard…it’s hard to imagine going through the…

Currently Playing – So You Can Cry

I’ve been meaning to come though with more “fun stuff,” so here we go!

I’m a SERIOUS music lover.

I play music almost EVERY day. Usually repeating one album or song for hours at a time. (My husband tolerates my musical obsession… he LOVES me y’all 🤣😂🤣)

For the past week, I’ve rediscovered my love for Ne-Yo.

I’m learning more of his new music, but “Year of the Gentleman” is STILL my FAVORITE album.

Prayer For Oct. 29th

Hope For The Broken Hearted

Hello, Friends! Here is the prayer for today…

Dear Lord,

We pray for all who need are feeling stressed. Please ease their tension…may they feel your peace overtake them in body, mind and spirit …may they find deep, restorative sleep… please help us all to find the place where we can, “let go” and trust you to handle our troubling situations… you handle everything far better than we can…help us to learn how to do our best and be satisfied with that… please help us to trust you to do what we cannot…

Too often we struggle with expecting to be able to do everything… we think we should be able to “do it all” and be able to keep the same pace we always did, but that’s not always possible, especially during times of illness, grief and adversity…help us to remember that sometimes you allow things to happen so…

Married, Approaching 30, Childless and Content

I scrolled past this on one of my Pinterest boards this morning and thought it was worth reposting.

If you’re dealing with something similar or praying through a season of infertility or loss, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers 💗💜🙏

I was about to be 30 when my initial post was shared, now I’m approaching 32 and not much has changed.

However; I do realize that these years have granted me the benefit of WISDOM gained.

I can be CONTENT in my situation, but that does not mean that I am COMPLACENT.

I can be grateful for my marriage and the union that we continue to build while also working to develop myself as an individual and wife who will (I believe) one day become a mother.

I’ve been a bit more quiet during the last half of this year.

Intentionality.

Earlier, I mentioned that 2017 would be the year I, “unplugged” and I became more committed to that personal vow as the year went on.

I have been working on personal goals and taking better care of myself.

Despite having had a few health challenges, I am feeling better now and looking forward to several things and living my BEST life.

I think Drake said it best,

“I’ll be back 2018 to give you the summary….MORE LIFE”

Fix-It With Fran

I love kids. Especially young kids (toddlers), but I don’t want ANY….right now.

Still, I have STRUGGLED with this.

Partner that with the conversation I experience almost daily: “Are you married? (Yes). Do you have kids (No). ****Insert confused/shocked/lost puppy/blank stare here****

I know I’m not the first to experience this and I understand that most people don’t mean any harm when asking those questions; However, it’s been on my heart to have a conversation (blog) about this topic. It is so frustrating/challenging and sometimes just downright draining to deal with this as frequently as I do.

Then came the guilt. Thoughts like:

Am I being selfish?

SHOULD we have kids now?

I know there are many young, married couples that are praying for children, but right now that’s not my prayer.– Does that make me a bad person?

Maybe it’s another character building exercise God is walking me through…
