Finding Hope Amid Disaster: When the World Weighs Heavy

Last updated on: November 20, 2024 at 11:12 am By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

There is a heaviness deep in my soul, and it is proof of the chaos that surrounds me. At almost every turn, there are traumatic things taking place, and finding joy and peace in the midst of it all, is not easy. No matter how much I try to shift the discouraging negative thoughts, they come flooding back in, refusing to be settled or calmed. Some are the typical repeating problems that seemingly never get resolved, some are concerns for... Read more

Warning! Subject Matter May Be Controversial for Those of the Christian Faith! I’m guessing my opening statement might have caught your attention rather quickly!

Today is July 4th, a day referred to as Independence Day in the United States of America, where I am blessed to live. There will be many celebrations of this great day all around our country. It’s our way of commemorating the founding of this great nation. There will be barbecues, picnics, gatherings with family and friends, and firework displays to honor the day that we gained our freedom to exist as the United States of America! But I wonder,...

The Journey to Rediscover Identity & Purpose Isn’t Easy

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

Several years ago, I started a journey to rediscover myself, and the calling that God has for my life. From the outside looking in, you might have laughingly thought that I was experiencing my own personal midlife crisis, and you may have been partially correct. However, many factors were affecting my life at this time, and perhaps my age was one of the biggest contributing factors, in the beginning. There was a profound urgency deep inside, requiring that I figure... Read more

Pondering the Prayers Answered Verses the Praise Given!

Last updated on: August 13, 2024 at 3:58 pm By Teresa Nichols

0 Comments

Sitting on my porch on Mother’s Day morning, I was feeling very thankful! As I thought about being a mom and life in general, I began to think about how many times I pray and ask God for things, fully expecting Him to hear me and answer.(Which is a bunch of prayers, if I’m being totally honest!) Then I began pondering the prayers answered verses the praise given for them! Regretfully, I felt like I probably had not been nearly... Read more

I have been pondering a subject to write about this past week, but nothing specific came to my mind. We took a little vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC this past weekend and each morning I would get up, grab my coffee, Bible, journal and head for the balcony. My original intention was to turn in my Bible and create a post for Facebook, Instagram and Patheos. Daily I read, but nothing grabbed my attention as something I should share in... Read more

Is your focus where it should be? Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the responsibilities you carry, and struggling to know where to even begin? Or is it possible that you know the order of importance for all the things required of you, but you just can’t... Read more
