3:20 – Words Are Powerful #faithbites #faithjourney words Words are powerful. With a word we can lift up a person or tear someone down. We can show our love or our hate. Through my life, I’m learning that we use the same word with different meanings. For instance, I wrote a #faithbite about coexisting with others. My meaning was we […]
3:19 – Do You Feel Like A Lost Cause? #faithbites #faithjourney cause Its gloomy and cold outside. I’m tired and a bit grumpy. Not a bad day per say, but it reminds me of those bad days. A day when everything you do turns out wrong. When no what, you just feel like a lost cause. Guess what? You may […]
3:18 – We Are All Teachers #faithbites #faithjourney teachers Today I helped a mom learn how we sell girl scout cookies today. Then my youngest and I built her first Lego set. Now I’m trying to explain patience to her. These are all times when I became a teacher even though professionally I’m not. My eldest says I teach teachers […]
3:17 – Listen AND Follow #faithbites #faithjourney listen I was walking the halls of my daughter’s school and saw the scripture verse of the year: Matthew 7:24 – “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.” While I’ve seen this picture over and over again, today something […]

3:14 – Give Up Fighting and Start Living #faithbites #faithjourney fighting How many times have you been told to keep fighting? That if you give it everything you’ve got, you will win in life. Nothing comes without sacrifice. We’ve all heard these saying and every day can be a struggle. What if I told you “the works already been done.” […]
3:13 – Playing Peek-a-Boo With God #faithbites #faithjourney Peek-a-Boo Not sure why, but today I was thinking about games we play as a child. I instantly thought of Peek-a-Boo as it’s an odd game. The baby sees us the whole time but we cover our eyes as if we disappear. Then the baby laughs when we come back. I understand […]
3:12 – Read It For Yourself #faithbites #faithjourney read Do you ever have the problem of finding out what is true or not?
