Molli Moments

Open your eyes and heart to see Jesus in your life. He is playing ball with you in all you do come rain or shine. How has He hit a grand slam for you today?

My mind keeps rolling with hurts and pains of the world, yet my words are frozen inside. I gossle myself as I whisper, “Jesus.” and a little louder and then strong and confident, “Jesus.” His name is sufficient.

Layer up your knowledge of what interests you. There is always something new to learn.

A variety of life circumstances and unanswered questions could leave me hopeless; if I chose to be. Life circumstances and unanswered questions, don't have that much power over me. It's my decision to choose hopelessness or hope, no matter the circumstance.

Too many times this winter I've pushed working out aside to do other things. Bad idea!! It's time to do something different.

C.S. Lewis said it well. “Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.” The real power is doing good when no one is looking. The real power is being the anonymous blesser in someone's life.

I have a sign that says, “Life is better by the lake.” While it does have its perks, life is better with Jesus. Live in the in between with Christ. Enjoy some Heaven on earth as we grow in His image.

Joy, fun, laughter, growth and love has been a result of Jesus encouraging me to trust Him and lean into His wisdom and guidance. I am forever grateful for His faith and trust in me to have faith and trust in Him.

Jesus entered our realm of being in darkness and became our living, breathing Light of life.

It's not the first time I've been on the Struggle Bus and won't be the last. The crazy part is, the Struggle Bus is where growth occurs the most.

You're cruising along the people mover when it comes to the end and you have to take a step to move forward or stay frozen in place. What are you going to do?

Twu Wuv comes from our Heavenly Father, embeds within us and expels through us as we live with a purpose to love as He loves us.

Gratitude is a deeper, personal appreciation for receiving an act of kindness from another. When gratitude is given, the soul of the giver and receiver are graced with God's presence and blessing.

Friends, co-workers, bosses, acquaintances, jobs and all other circumstances will let you down at some point in life. Sad, but true. Jesus is in the business of eternal reliability.

Cynicism and skepticism are children of doubt. They can not coexist with joy. Jump for joy for His healing power in your life.

“If your path is difficult, it is sometimes because your calling is higher.” - Toby Mac We are all called to a higher calling. You don't have to be a preacher, a world renowned evangelist or a popular Christian artist to have a higher calling.

Do you ever feel like talking to God is like talking to a brick wall? You don't hear a response or see a change? Here's the thing. There are no brick walls, at all; no bricks in sight.

Even if you are facing a battle “on your own” you're really not alone. We have one Battle Buddy with us at all times; Jesus. He has also given us Battle Buddies wherever we go.

We need a day of rest to replenish ourselves physically and spiritually. We are not created to work 24/7, 365. We are created to rest on day 6 and have a deeper encounter with Him on day 7.

Our Heavenly Father is the Perfect Father. He yearns to spend time with you. He wants you to know all about Him. He is all in for His love for you.

Change of plans occur, interruptions happen, unexpected events shift what a day looks like. Carve out quality time with Jesus. Who better to spend time with than with someone who wants to spend time with you.

You want to get to know your Heavenly Father, get to know His Word. God will empower your mind to understand, soften your heart to receive and give you the endurance to keep going when the intimidation starts to creep in.

It's exciting and nerve-racking to explore something new. You can open yourself up to a whole new world you never expected or thought was possible. With each new understanding of who Christ is, a whole new world is revealed.

In my quiet times with Jesus, I'm learning more and more about who He is, who He is to me and how He lives in me. Love is a state of being. Love is a glimpse of the realm of God, of the realm of who He created us to be.

What would it be like to be permanently anchored to Christ and never have the fear or anxiety of drifting away? Are you willing to sacrifice quiet time to spend getting to know Jesus at a deeper level?

Families come in all shapes and sizes. You have been placed in the family Christ desired you to have. Embrace each other and remind one another of the comfort and peace of family.

What is your default setting? How does it affect your heart and mind? How earnestly do you desire to live out the heart of Christ and to think like He thinks?

“Why not?” seems to be the motto for people who thrive on trying new things. Try something at least once. Right?? I have more joy, excitement and pleasure when experiencing something new that was unplanned. Most times fear and anxiety hold us back from doing something new that we hadn't thought of before. Try something new today.

You are never alone in the valley. He is right there with you, holding your hand to help balance your next step. Take a minute and look up and see His beauty that surrounds you and be overcome by His peace.

How often do we desire to perch on God's knee and seek His shelter? I don't have to be cautious or fearful when approaching. We can have full confidence and take a leap of faith and land on His knee. I want to share in His vibes. I want to hang out and get to know Him more.

Have you had someone back you up and tell others to wait a minute, you need to listen up. What he or she has to say, you need to hear. No matter your age, your thoughts and opinions matter.

Do you ever feel like you are playing Hide and Seek with Jesus? Seeking Him out and He's right in front of you and you can't see Him? Or you're wandering around aimlessly trying to find Him, when He has been and always will be right inside of you?

Laughing is contagious. Have you been around someone who was laughing, you started laughing and you have no idea why you're laughing?

His plans for us truly are for good and gives us hope and a future. It's not said to appease our wandering hearts and minds. It's said to give us singular focus to look for Him wholeheartedly for the goodness we receive when we find Him.

As living stones for Christ, building up the body of Christ, we too are chosen and placed with purpose. We were not haphazardly created and thrown willy nilly to fend for ourselves. God knows where He has already placed His people, knows who He needs where currently and sees where He is going to place us in the future.

The church is not the building at all. WE are the church. His children, beloved, believers, brothers and sisters in Christ. We no longer have to go to a designated building to encounter God. We have Him in us, with us all time. We are His temple in motion.

We need to allow ourselves to go away to a quiet place. We also need to learn how to have the mindset of being in His stillness in the midst of the daily grind. Too many times I vear off with my mind going a mile a minute as He patiently walks beside me waiting for me to turn to Him and revel in His presence and be still.

God delights in you. He sees you fighting and battling and getting back up time and time again. He's giving you a hand up so you can try again. He's proud of you and loves you deeply.
