Promises

Fake it till you make it.

I have heard this term and believe me..many times used it and operated by it. I have smiled when my insides were screaming. I have cried when I was finally quiet and alone. In fact, that was me for years of my adult life. I functioned and even excelled at work and being a mom...I went above and beyond but I was still left anxious, empty, and just physically and mentally exhausted.

Until....I found Christ and began to build a relationship with Him and lean on him daily.

I now try to live by a new motto!

Speak it till he keeps it!

Sing it till he brings it!

When I am worried about my children....Proverbs 22:6 (TPT) 

Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they’ve learned from you will be with them for life.

When my dreams feel like they are crumbling down around me...Psalm 37:4 (TPT)

Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most.

When I am drained from the battles I face.... Philippians 4:12-13 The Passion Translation (TPT) 

I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.

When I have a need that seems impossible or out of reach....Mark 11:24 The Passion Translation (TPT)

This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

When I don’t know what to do...James 1:5 The Passion Translation (TPT)

And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and he will give it! He won’t see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace.

Happiness is based on circumstances but joy comes from the Lord! His blessings and peace are new everyday.

This smile you see now....it’s genuine!
