You are Significant





The Search for Significance.


I am so loving reading this book and getting to share it with a group of Ladies. One thing that has really spoken to me is that we are ALL God's masterpiece. I have always heard that and I am very familiar with the verse in Ephesians 2:10. I just have not been applying it to my life and knowing it deep in my heart. I was recreated in Christ Jesus. AND I did not do anything to deserve it. NOTHING!  That simply means to me that HE loves me. I cannot prove my love back to him to get him to love me.

SO then why do we try to 'prove' ourselves to others? Why do we get so caught up in what others think about us...or that they might not like us because of this or that? Are we not that confident in the LORD when He has already died for us and said YOU ARE SIGNIFICANT!

What if we went thru the day today feeling significant for Christ? How would that change our way of thinking, acting and re-acting to certain people or circumstances.

Women..  How does that effect your relationships?  What if we reached the point of believing God for the truth he has for us instead of the lies from Satan? Would we then except how we are loved thru Christ? What does that look like? Well according to the bible here are just a few ways how Christ loves us...


  • He is our protector- 
  • He is our provider- Jehovah Jireh
  • He is our Rock
  • He is our Strength
  • He is our Shield
  • He will not abandon us
  • He is now here - Jehovah Shammah 
  • He is ever loving
  • He is eternal
Now who can take that away from you?  Who are we that we deserve such love?  We did nothing for it. It is a free gift of those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23)  

ON the flip side of that, maybe you are holding people to your standards. Maybe you have made someone feel less significant then what God has made them. Christ is the head, not us. He knows the heart...not us. We are called to love Christ and love others. (Luke 10:27) If we do not think we are significant then how can we help others to see that they are significant? Step back and look to see how you view God and if you truly believe that YOU are significant...then pray and ask God to open your eyes that you may see those around you as being significant.

 Christ knows us and loves us. The truth is that NO ONE can take that away from us. Not a man, not another woman's opinions about us, not in our performance of what we did or did not do. 
Regardless of all these things... YOU ARE SIGNIFICANT!!!

This I Know

Its been a little over 3 months since I last wrote a post. I usually only write when I feel led too. Since my Aunt died I just haven't really had anything come to mind that was worthy of writing about. I am not depressed.. I don't have writer's block.. I just haven't had anything to put down. Even now I struggle to find words to describe what I am feeling/ going through.   Last week just days after having my thyroid removed I found out that the results are cancerous. This put me right back in the hospital for another surgery to remove the other half which also showed to have cancer in it.  I have a good prognosis so far and will have radioactive iodine in a few weeks. First I will have to try to survive without artificial thyroid hormone or a thyroid for a few weeks. It is good to get my TSH numbers up so that the radioactive iodine will be most effective in killing out all remaining thyroid cells. If you need more info on thyroid cancer and treatments you ca

The Lovely My two year old, Eli, drags me out to the back porch. I do not really want to go. I think of all the excuses, but he wins. He has on his sweet boots and sweat shirt and a baseball cap. He is adorable. I am still in my lounge clothes. A long sweater. Yoga pants. No make up. Today is a sad day. My dear dear Aunt is dying. She is getting closer to drawing her last breath on this earth. My heart hurts. It is heavy. I wiped tears from her eyes just yesterday. I say thank you to God. I am blessed to have been a part of her life. I am blessed because I know her. Eli wants to play with bubbles now. I pour them in the bubble machine and watch as a thousand bubbles fill the crisp cloudy air. He is so excited. I am still.    I imagine. Today I have spiritual eyes. There are a thousand souls floating up. She may be one. Floating. Enjoying the space around her. Free from being held down. Perfect. Perfect. God holds these. They are right with Him. Free. I

Every Effort

“Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification” Romans 14:19 You may have been yelled at, treated wrong, or accused of untruthful things. Or maybe you have been the one doing the yelling and treating others wrong. Maybe you think you have the right to say and do certain things because of what has happened in your life. Paul is telling us in Romans 14 about the Christians in Rome and about how they were judgmental and critical of each other. If you read the whole chapter you find out that some of the Romans thought it bad to eat only vegetables and some did not and so on and so on. Why would this be in the bible for us? Who cares if they did or didn’t eat meat or vegetables? Paul’s point is this… Do not pass judgment on others. Paul says in verse 19 therefore, because of these things, make every effort to live at peace…God knew how hard it was going to be... we were all made so different. Therefore (because of these things) m
