How is God stretching and/or strengthening your faith?
Self-control. Need I say more.

AMEN- self control, I have started a new healthy eating program and need self control!
Today I was out shopping, I really feel cashiers in stores with lack of kindness from customers. So I made a point to wish them all a Happy Easter. God is strengthening my faith by showing kindness. 🙂
Self Control as a mom of 59 almost 60 with a 13yr old teenager – Lord set a watch over my mouth. She is a great kid who is very good at being 13. I so want to build her up and encourage her and it takes great self discipline not to correct all of the unimportant things.
As a mom/step-mom to an 11yo, 14yo, and 19yo – wow, do I hear you this morning! You can do it – the Holy Spirit is with you, giving you the fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23)!
You spoke too soon … I completely melted down today!!!! I am a sinner saved by grace… That is what today means to me… Sigh…
Melt downs are good tools to remind us not just that we are sinners but that we have God’s grace! We aren’t called to be perfect (we can’t be), we are called to keep orienting our lives back toward God. Hang in there.
Bosses… employees… residents…. school… family… health issues… but God is giving me strength, help with mouth control, and more than provides for my needs. I am so blessed.
I am being stretched to learn what is meant by denying myself and loving others. Wow.
I am being stretched by learning to sieze opportunities to share with others. I am not good at initiating comversations, but being a missionary in an Asian country forces you to do that. Please Lord, give the strength and the courage to be bold when opportunities come up to talk with others.
Dear Wendy & Sisters:
I have lost my little Missy this year(mini chiguagua)9yrs.
I was grieving deeply and sorrowful when The Lord said cristal clear in my ear” She is not hurting anymore”.
To know that He cares and his love for us is so great and so is his pain for his children when they are suffering.
My faith is stronger as I get to know his character.
God bless you all .
