Finding Happiness?

02/05/2015 22/09/2016 Women

During my twenties, I was a bridesmaid in several weddings. Unfortunately, most of those couples are now divorced. It will come as no surprise to you that each of them stated they were unhappy and they were getting a divorce in order to find happiness. After all, happiness is the American birthright, right? The United States Declaration of Independence says, in part, the following:We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with..

“Help, I’m Insecure”

02/04/2015 15/01/2017 Heather Lindsey

Note that this isn't the entire chapter, but you can find the rest of it on June 5, 2015 on this site when it goes live! :))** One of satans biggest weapons is doubt. Satan loves for us to question who we are and how we measure up to others (Ephesians 2:1-2; Ephesians 6:12; 1 Samuel ..

“Trusting God Through the Hard Times”

24/03/2015 15/01/2017 Heather Lindsey

I know that its hard to trust God at times. I know that you have your good days and then you have some really rough days where you're like.. Lord, how long before.. this or that?I've learned that I can't focus on "this or that" or what I think I'm lacking. My focus must be on the Lord alone because if I ain't content with just Him, then He won't bring things into my life so that I can make those things my idols. Philippians 4:11-13 New Living Translation (NLT) Not t..

“When It Feels Like God Abandoned You”

11/03/2015 15/01/2017 Heather Lindsey

This area has just been heavy on my heart so I wanted to remind those of you who are going through some hard times that God has not forgotten about you. Yes, you. In the world of social media, technology and TV, it's so easy to glamorize what everybody else is doing while thinking, Lord, have you forgotten about me? Have you abandoned me? No, God hasn't abandoned you. But, He is disciplining you. And you have a choice. You can either press through this test and mature in your walk wit..

MCFARLAND USA: An Interview with Legendary Coach Jim White

20/02/2015 27/07/2016 Movies

Do you like sports movies? I cry every time I watch Field of Dreams. The rousing underdog stories of Rudy or The Rookie almost feel too good to be true. The cynic in us may resist, but once you actually meet Jimmy, the guy who sank the winning shot in Hoosiers, your perspective shifts. These aren’t just tall tales, manufactured by Hollywood. These can be modest, “everyday” heroes who challenge us to practice, to press on, to never give up. I recently met Jim White, the legendary cross-country c..

“Help Me, I Can’t Stop Procrastinating”

10/02/2015 22/09/2016 Heather Lindsey

So, if you're in a season where you feel super sluggish, kinda lazy and you feel like doing nothing, I can relate. Being now 18 weeks pregnant, I have had my days where I only want to lay in the bed for the entire day. But even before I was pregnant, I had my seasons where I struggled in this area. It's almost like, it's on my checklist to take care of this but I just got too busy throughout the day to get to it or by the time I got home, I had zero energy to accomplish that task...

In this ever-changing world in which we live, all of us feel a little “un-balanced “ at times in our lives.
