  • Destressing the Stressed Out Gal with Cindy Rushton

    Stressed? Been stressed a little too long? Too often? Need some help? Well, try the following and see if they don’t help a bit!

    –> Go on a Prayer Walk—regularly! Praise and worship the Lord. Pour out your heart. Talk to Jesus the whole way! Listen to His sweet “conversation” with you. Be refreshed!

    –> Use a Daily “To-Do” List to operate from. List your TOP FIVE things each day the night before. Go back over each morning during your Quiet Time and pray about your day before you. Take it all to God and lay it before Him. Keep in your own “Brain-in-a-Binder” so you can rest your mind. Go over your list as you throughout the day to keep a tab on how you are doing (also so you will not chase rabbits). Watch how much more peaceful each day will be.

    –> Turn on Praise Music—LOUD! Got an iPod? I call mine my “stress-buster.” I LOVE turning it on while I clean or while I work on my daily chores. Not only does it make the work much more fun and easy, but I also find myself taking the Lord into every aspect of my day. Priceless!

  • Never Give Up in the Battle by Lucia Claborn

    Are you ever tempted to give up in the heat of the battle? Sure, you are! We (including me) have all wanted to quit at some point in time because life’s situations just got too hard, we could see no way out — no help on the horizon – and thought it better to find a cypress tree and have a pity party for ourselves.


    However, you need to know that God didn’t draw you to Himself, and then anoint you with the power of the Holy Spirit to be a quitter! He made you to be a winner, an overcomer, in every area of your life.

    You may have never been told that before, so I get the wonderful pleasure of telling you now…God created you to triumph! “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ Jesus…2 Corinthians 2:14a.“

    No matter what life’s situation is that you are facing and need to conquer, you must make a decision that you are never going to give in or give up! (This is exactly what the devil wants you to do…give up and quit! Don’t give him the satisfaction of beating you!) One key to victory is continuing to do the right thing with the right attitude and refusing to quit! (more…)

  • ‘d NEVER do…

    Today I did what I said I’d NEVER do.

    Well…I remember thinking in my godly little way that you would never catch ME dead doing that…

    …so frivolous
    …such a waste
    …so SELFISH
    …so superficial
    …a total waste of time and money.

    Well, has my opinion actually changed in 2 hours? I don’t think so. I think it was a slow fade over the past 7 years. (more…)

  • Forgive… by Elisabeth Rushton

    Betrayal and hurt. They seem to come in a “bow-wrapped package” that life throws at you.

    No matter how young or old you are, you have more than likely known a friend or two to betray you. But how did you handle it? Did you forgive them the second that it happened? Did you go on like nothing ever happened? Or did it take a little more effort?

    If you have been really painfully hurt like I’m talking about, (more…)
