Enough

By -
I have a problem... And I'm sure a lot of you have the same problem... I always feel the need to do more, to do better, to be better, to be more to more people, etc... You get the point... I drive myself crazy feeling this way b/c I never feel like I'm enough. There isn't enough of me to go around... to get everything done that I think needs to be done (in the way I think it needs done especially). I am a bit of a control freak... yes, that's a problem all in itself... but it leads me to always feel like what I'm doing or who I am isn't enough. I could be better and do better at pretty much everything... or at least that is what the world tells me and what I let myself believe. I was refreshed today to read THIS devotional. I hope it inspires someone else to feel like you are enough in the Lord's eyes just as you are. I hope to remind myself of this the next time I'm feeling like I need to do something more than just be who I am.

    I often times let my 'control' issues lead me to believe that I need to do it all or it won't get done the way I want it done. Thanks for posting this Chelsa. :)

    I agree with Casondra since I am the same way. I too thank you for posting this, especially after the day I have had, it fit well.

Prayer Request Box

By -
Hi everyone! I know this is an inspirational blog so Casondra wanted to added a prayer request box to the sidebar.  I thought it was a GREAT idea.  Anyone should be able to post on it even if they aren't a friend/follower, or you can request for someone else.  It will probably show up as unknown if they aren't our friend/follower though, which is perfectly OK too.  It's about all of us praying as 'prayer warriors'.  That doesn't mean that we have to automatically have a name or complete specifics to do that. I did want to say that it has a time lapse on it though in order to go through the system.  It may take a few minutes for your request to actually show up in the box, same with replies.  We tested it tonight and I had one that took upwards of 5 minutes.  So don't think it's broken, it's working, just takes patience.  If we start having them take 15 or more minutes and it still doesn't show up AFTER you refresh your browser, let me know.

What's it all about?

I've mentioned Katie before on my other blog. Actually...she's a follower here at 'Enjoying Life One Cup at a Time'.  I absolutely ADORE her blog (www.imperfectpeople.net)....and today's post was no exception.  I wanted to share it with you guys. (and I hope she doesn't mind) but it was just too powerful NOT to share! God doesn’t work by Karma. Good for good, evil for evil. And I’m thankful because I certainly don’t deserve how good he has been. Everything that happens, good or bad isn’t always just about us. We all search for meaning in life’s circumstances but the real (sometimes hard) truth is... IT’S NOT ABOUT US. God is a lot more important than us .  He loves us no doubt.  But I think he gets a little chuckle watching us trying to make it all about us.  I can’t think of anyone else who was raised from the dead, for whom the calendar changed from BC to AD, or for whom people centuries before his birth (even outside of the bible) predicted hundred

Friends are angels who lift our feet when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly! I wanted to post a little about each of the contributing authors. Amanda .  She has been married to Brandon for 10 years now, and they have three beautiful kids.  Currently prayer needs are Brandon interviewed for an underground job with the coal mine, and has got the job...he just needs to decide if he actually wants to take it.  Prayer warriors lets lift them up! Cassie. She is married to Adam and they have two kids.  A daughter and a son.  They recently moved and Cassie is working on her doctorate.  GO CASSIE!!!  :)   Chelsa . She is married to Ryan, and you can tell by her picture that they have two very handsome little boys.  They also have A who is in Heaven with Jesus.  Chelsa's strength and love for the Lord amazes me.  They are currently in the process of building their 'dream' home, so please keep them in your prayers. Kate.  Kate has a loving fiance who we c
