To think that the creator of the universe, controller of the sea, would ever think about us enough to care is overwhelming. Not only does He care but He wants to save us. Even the smallest tear catches His eye and tugs at His heart. To think the highest of kings would send His ONLY son to die on the cross for things that were wrong just because He loved us is indescribable. No love could be perfectly like it, only simply a mirror version of it. He truly does love us. Let the truth sink in while you listen to Strong Enough To Save by Tenth Avenue North.

Our husbands (or wives) aren't perfect and they're not always who we need them to be but it is so relieving to know God always holds our heart. When we're heart broken, when someone's let us down, even when somebody doesn't know how to be there for us. God hols our heart and Tenth Avenue North points this out in their song Hold My Heart. Here it is!

What is the Key to Resolving Conflict? That is a great question and I most definitely have an answer for you. Let's take a look These images are from Google Images and I am going to use them to represent my point take a look at these couples Do these couples look happy to you? Why do you think that is? "But people who are together longer become more happy with each other." Actually age and experience has nothing to do with how happy a couple is together. These couples have experienced conflict but none of them are speaking to each other. This, Communication, seems to be the key of a happy marriage. Take a look: These couples might not be the happiest but don't they look less stressed then the others? I wonder why... When communication isn't happening, nothing is being resolved...therefore the two are unhappy with each other and a wait is on them. It could be hurt feelings, pain, fear, or any number of feelings/thoughts. The opposite is sa

As you can probably tell by the title, this post is all about our insecurities. Love triangles or "Affairs" are one of the big sources for insecurities in relationships. Many of times we are far too quick to assume the worst in a situation. We see a girl talking flirtatiously with our man and we suddenly think he's flirting too. Sometimes that is the case but not always. These doubts and fears are things we cannot always avoid but we can avoid assuming the outcome. Assuming has never fixed anything and your relationship will not be pardoned from this. Talk with your boyfriend or partner about what is going on. If you talk it through then it's more likely to be sorted out rather than blaming him and making him feel you don't trust him. Maybe he is untrustworthy here but allow him to tell you himself. Same goes for the men as well, do not assume your wife or girlfriend is at fault. Always talk to the other person...as you know communication is important to r

I was reading in my devotional book today called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young and this is the word I got today: "In closeness to Me, you are safe. In the intimacy of My presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense my nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only My presence can fill. I designed you for close communication with your Creator. How I enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with Me in the garden of your heart, both you and I are blessed. This is My way of living in the World - through you! Together we will push back the darkness, for I am the Light of the World." After reading this it moved me to tears and my heart ached. I began longing for God and realizing the distance I've had from Him. So many times we don't realize how far away we are from someone until we stop to look at it. Life was so e
