Recently I have been listening to some new songs that are great! Some of them might be older but new to me. Hopefully God will speak to you through this today. You might need encouragement, hope, peace, love...I hope you find it :) Fear does not own you! You are free. As you go through this week, sing this song!!  Your chains shall be broken I recently heard this song and I love it!! You are God's master piece even if your cleaning up after the messy kids (and sometimes the biggest kid in the house), or finishing a project last minute. You are a work of art and you are priceless! God loves you with a reckless love. Your family, friends or this world may make you feel like you are not loved but you are so loved!! There is no one More Beautiful than you. It may hurt, the pain might be deep...But God A . L . W . A . Y . S has a good reason. Think positve because it brings you to God. When it hurts there’s a real good reason. "You let me be where I’ve b

"Fight For You", what does this quote mean? It should resemble all relationships but there are too many that are far from it. What does it mean to fight for somebody? When you think of the word "love", what comes to your mind? Maybe you picture a scene in the top romance movie, or maybe the couple holding hands on the street "they must be in love right?" So many people have this idea that love is a magical thing. Like in fairytales...the "Happily Ever After" but I'm sorry to tell you: If Cinderella and Prince charming were to be married in real life, their story would be more complicated than that. The things is that so many people want that type of relationship, friendship or marriage where everything is perfect and goes smoothly. That, however, is not how things work out. We have flaws, there are struggles, and we have to make a choice to stay with our loved ones regardless of the circumstances and atmosphere. Jesus was the perfect resembla

This is a great activity to do with your family and even the kids can get involved! We all know that unless we put the bible into practice everyday, we will never live the right way. How do we go about putting the bible into practice? If we do not look at it as something we have to do but something we enjoy doing, it will be much easier. Everyday pick a piece of paper that describes an attribute of love or a command (make it extra fun by drawing one of each everyday) and try to do it throughout the whole day. The person who does his challenge completely earns the reward for the week. You can also add prayer to the daily challenge as well. Write down names to pray for and pick one out for the day. Each day pick a new one.

You've been married for some time now and you want to keep the spark alive, what are some things you can do? That's easy! 1. Love Poem I know even the name sounds scary. It's really not so bad. A good idea is to write down all the things you feel or like about your partner and read them to each other. 2. L.O.V.E Is A Four Letter Word I think you know what this means. Write out the word "love" on a piece of paper like this: L O V E and then next to each other make it into a word. It can be things you like about your partner...ETC It should look like this: Lovely One Viable Excellent 3.Who Am I? Do you know a lot about your partners family/friends? Try this game! Write a bunch of names on a piece of paper and cut them out. Then fold them and put them into a hat. Then try giving clues or acting out the name you got and see if your partner can guess which of your friends/family members you are trying to be. You must act out one of your own family m

Many people ask the question "how do I teach my kids to do right and to stop doing wrong?" There are tons of sites that you can get the answer to this question from and they can be helpful, but sometimes and it can be hard to know how to apply them to our lives and families. I am going to give you the clearest answer through an example: There is only one sun in the morning, and at night there is only one moon...sure there are tons of stars hanging around the moon but without the moon and without the sun we wouldn't be able to see. Our lives as parents represent this. As parents we are like the sun and the moon, giving light to our children to guide them and show them the right way. If our light is out and we aren't acting the way we should or the way we want them to, then their going to have a hard time acting the right way. Other people are like stars to our children. They may have some friends or relatives that can show them some light but ours was meant to be the

There is one attribute of a godly family that stands out over them all; That is love. Love is the greatest thing a family can show the world. The sad part is, it's not shown much anymore. People are only thinking about themselves and not all the other people first. One of the biggest problems we have is children growing up to become violent seekers or trouble makers because they aren't shown the right love at home. That doesn't mean they're treated horribly, but sometimes all it takes is parents who don't know what they're doing (how to live the right way) to cause their child(ren) to become criminals. It's hard to blame those parents because sometimes their being taught that way by their own parents. Don't take only advice from your parents, or your family, but let God guide how you do things.

Hello, My name is Forest! I am the author of this blog and I thought I'd introduce myself and share a little about me. I started this blog not to get noticed but to share knowledge that I have gained through Christ with others. My goal is to reach families and start a revolution! One thing that makes me different from most people is the unique view I have in life. I call it my perspective. In every situation in life I remind myself that God always has a good plan and in the end he always does. In my life I have been captivated by the amazing works that God has brought into my life through my pain. When things seem to get tough, I know I am right where God wants me to be. To some people, going through storms in life would seem like God doesn't care...but I see it in a positive way. He wouldn't let me go through a rainstorm unless he knew their would be a rainbow in the end. He wouldn't allow me under the crashing waves unless he could see the tropical shore ahead. Life

Servant, that is one word many people tend to view negatively. Even Christians seem to find this word unsettling, but why is it that we see it this way? In this world serving someone else is looked upon as a lowly thing. We are taught that we are who matters most. Serving is actually the most righteous thing anyone could do. In John 13:1 Jesus gave a perfect example of serving by washing his disciples feet. In fact the very man whose feet Jesus washed, belonged to the man who would betray him. We all want peace in this world and that is accomplished when we serve others. We must do what is difficult. It is put perfectly in Romans 7:19 "I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway." The point is, we do whatever is easy. We take the short and simple road hoping we'll make it through. Going the easy way isn't always the best way. Getting everything immediately, isn't always beneficial. Going with what everyone e

Today our topic is joy! The main point I want to state is that Joy is not quite the same thing as happiness...I know that's probably a big shocker! But it really is completely true. The difference is that one lasts and the other fades but only comes at certain times. A perfect analogy of this would be: Take two different types of marriages. 1. there is love in the relationship but that love depends on what is benefitted by the relationship or how easy things are. Once things get rocky, the feeling goes away and you just give up. That was never true love. 2. This one is much more firm. When the grounds are shaken to the fullest, both remain to stand in what is called true love and faith in God. Joy is just like the second marriage. Even though the world is stormy and dark around you, there is still calmness inside your heart that comes only by trusting fully in God. Happiness is like the first, when things become difficult you let your peace slip away. Being stressed about a situa
