Who Are You Living For?

Tip #31 – Live everyday asking:

“Will this bring me closer to God?”

If there are things in our life that are drawing us AWAY from God, instead of closer, we need to consider ridding our lives on them. Whether it is an action or an item, we need to consider how it effects us, how it effects others, and how it effects our faith.

Kristin’s Action Plan: I have started to look at each item in our home asking “does this bring me closer to God?” By living with this in mind, I find my life is MUCH more simple, organized, and content. Why do we try to complicate life when God is not?

Unexpected Beauty

Gaining Christ

Last week in Bible study we looked at Philippians 3:1-11. The verses that hit me the hardest were verses 7-11, which are below: But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ…

KonMari-ing When You Can’t Get Rid Of It

What if you have something that you own or something in your life, that does not bring you joy, but you can’t get rid of? Maybe there is an item or an event that you can’t seem to rid your life or mind of?

The Cost Of Normal

When meeting with the surgeon last week, he told me that I could live a normal life again. A normal life. When he said that, I started to tear up, but in reality, I had no idea what I was tearing up about because truthfully speaking, I have never known normal. And who has? What…
