How to Share Your Faith In a World of No Contact

 

This weekend, I had the great opportunity to participate in a girl's retreat. As I led the Bible study with the older girls, we discussed what they felt was the hardest part of walking the Christian walk. They all agreed that sharing their faith was difficult, especially in today's world. There is a huge problem in our world with connecting to others. There is an anxiety and fear that others will reject us if they don't like what we say or do.  Because of this, most avoid connecting if it involves face-to-face contact. This includes sharing our faith. To help with this fear, I gave the girls some inventive ways to share there faith for introverts. I'll share them in case you want to use some of these. Here they are: 1) Write a positive scripture and the phrase, "God sees you and loves you " on some paper with however much money you feel led to give. I told the girls to use a dollar or two. Write for you on the outside of the envelope. Put it in an envelope and stick it on a shelf in a gas station or grocery store.  2) Paint some rocks with scriptures about God's love or phrases and hide them in public places. 3) Buy a shirt on Amazon that says, "You matter."  on the front and on the back, "To the person standing behind me, you matter. You're important, . .." I had a delivery man in a gas station line thank me for the shirt. He needed it that day. 4) Put a scripture or God statement about His love on paper, fold it, and put it in a baggy with some change and tape it to a vending machine.

These are a few ideas. Also, don't be afraid to just show love and kindness to people, no matter how they act. It witnesses of God's love greater than anything. No one can argue your testimony. What God has done in your life is fact. Share it! I hope these tips help to spread the Word of God's goodness.

Have a great week high-heeled warriors!

What Is Love? Loving When It's Hard.

  I want to start by saying this has been one of the most straining weeks my husband and I have experienced in a while. As many know, my husband's father nearly passed away this week. He has been sick for a few weeks. My husband had a feeling, prompted by the Holy Spirit, that he needed to get his dad to the hospital on Sunday evening. His dad had a doctor's appointment for Tuesday, but he felt like it needed to be right away. He was admitted into the hospital, and by Wednesday, his dad had sepsis. The doctors gave his dad eight hours to live. We watched his pulse and blood pressure plummet and waited for the inevitable. Meanwhile, we prayed that God would move. A miracle occurred, and he began to improve. He has been taken off the ventilator and is breathing on his own with a steady blood pressure. During all of this, my husband and I celebrated our 27th anniversary. Neither of us had hardly any sleep the first 24 hours. My husband only had 3 hours of sleep for 72 hours, so ...

Update: My Daughter's Latest EEG Six Years This Week After Brain Surgery

Image
  A couple of weeks ago, I went with my daughter to her yearly neurologist appointment. They have slowly been lowering her seizure medication. It's easy to worry after all that we've been through, but as we visited the bathroom in the waiting room, we had a little reminder to trust God. There on the paper towel dispenser was a little Jesus. It reminded us He's always with us, even in hard times. The neurologist wanted to do a new EEG. The last one was a couple of years ago and was inconclusive. We scheduled the new EEG for last week. After prayer and remembering Jesus is with us, we went. She received the results the next day. No seizure or abnormal activity! Every year that passes is good news. We are so thankful that God is faithful, and Jesus is always with us! Have a great week high-heeled warriors!

Ready to Die?

  We celebrated the home coming of one of the longest-attending members of our church. I've been to funerals that were extremely sad, and I've found that I'm an empathetic cryer. I attended a funeral with a friend. I didn't know the deceased, but as we walked by the casket at the end of the funeral, I messy cried. As I heard and saw the family crying, I couldn't help it. I've been asked to sing in a lot of funerals. This empathetic crying has made it difficult to sing. A few years ago, I mentioned to a couple of friends about my messy crying and worried about losing my composure during the song. The husband had shoulder surgery the day before and was on some really strong pain killers. As I sat behind the piano and looked out at the crowd, he smiled extremely big in his painkiller-induced state and gave me a very visible thumbs up sign. At that point, I struggled not to laugh. Crying was forgotten. I say all of this because this weekend, I was preparing for cry...
