Spirit Lead Me: 2 Simple Steps For Seeking The Holy Spirit

Candid Guest · May 9, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Spirit Lead Me is a Guest Post Written by Gloria Sutherland

Our lives right now are filled with many distractions that take up so much time in the day.

The pandemic has really turned so many aspects of our lives inside out. Daily life was already difficult as is but now we are required to take our masks with us everywhere and for some, make the choice to get vaccinated. Whether it be work, school, family, or any social aspect it has become more difficult as a Christian, but especially as a Christian woman to find time to nurture your sense of well being and then also find time for God.

Through this reading, I would like to encourage you, wherever you are right now to seek direction through the Holy Spirit and allow the Spirit to lead you.

3 Steps to Overcome Laziness

Candid Guest · February 21, 2022 · 52 Comments

I’ve been lazy before.  Not the “I should probably get up and work but it’s been a busy day and I’m going to play board games with the kids instead” lazy.  The sinful, procrastinating, anxiety-provoked and provoking, let-down-your-friends-and-miss-deadlines lazy.

There! I said it out loud.

And it wasn’t a short-lived lazy either.

As a teenager, I plagued my mother with my stubborn unwillingness to clean my room until she gave up in despair.  I dumped papers in my backpack rather than stick them in the folder. Every time I opened the bag, I felt guilty.  Every time I felt guilty, I put off sorting them out. The night before they were due, I frantically tried to organize them into something I could turn in. I cost myself not only time and worry but a good grade. I’d like to say I only did this once, but that would be a big fat lie.

How To Choose Joy

Candid Guest · December 13, 2021 · 1 Comment

By Candid Guest Therese Kay

A couple of months ago my friend’s mom was admitted into a nursing home for “failure to thrive.” She was choosing not to eat or drink, which had negative repercussions. When we refuse the nourishment we need, we fail to thrive.

That’s an interesting way to begin a blog about joy, eh? But I truly believe this is a useful allegory. I’ve been there. I refused nourishment and joy and the spiritual gifts (Galatians 5:22-23) that feed me and failed to thrive. Life and grief are hard and therefore we must actively choose to nourish ourselves with the things that help us thrive in life. Joy is a choice that we must actively pursue and seek in our lives.

Praising God During The Struggle

He Carried Me

Written by Candid Guest Leone F. Byron

“You’re falling apart,” my manager said. I laughed, but it really wasn’t funny.  Over the past few months, I’d felt exactly that way; wondering what would go wrong next.

Have you ever felt like that, like your body was spinning out of control, and God wasn’t there to stop it? That was me not long ago as I endured a series of health challenges.

God Speaks Your Language

Candid Guest · October 27, 2021 · 2 Comments

How to Hear God Speak

Written by Candid Guest Amy Nicholson

I know as a Christian I’m not supposed to worry. Like Paul says in his letter to the Philippians, I should not be anxious about anything but “in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6). Being a lover of words, I can’t help but notice the words anything and everything.

Really? I mean, I know the world during Paul’s lifetime was less than perfect but come on! Have you seen the world today? With everything that’s going on, how can I not worry? About anything.

What is Gossip?

Prayer & Gossip

By Candid Guest, Jessica Sims

A few weeks ago, the women from our church’s small group went for a ladies night out. It was a much-needed break from our daily responsibilities. The night was full of laughter and stories, everything from church happenings to our fully dysfunctional families that we love oh so dearly. 

We were having a great time until someone referenced their previous small group. Immediately the vibe changed. The tension was all over their faces. Whatever it was, it wasn’t a pleasant memory. 

These ladies have been friends for years, but I was the new girl they just welcomed in. I asked about the reference to the previous small group and got an unexpected response.

7 Scriptures to Renew Your Faith When You’re Hanging On By A Thread

Candid Guest · October 6, 2021 · Leave a Comment

are you hanging by a thread?

By Candid Guest Chyna Nicole

As a single mom, I find myself hanging on by a thread more than I would like to admit. From keeping my time with God consistent, maintaining my health and business, to my child’s school and extracurricular activities, all to come home and have to keep it together to manage my home. Often I find myself running on empty as though I’ve hit a wall. Am I the only one who experience this or feel this way?

Overcoming Low Self-esteem Through The Vista Of God’s Lens

Overcoming Low Self-esteem Through The Vista Of God’s Lens by Candid Guest, Happiness Hassan

I was one of those many women who used their weaknesses as an excuse to remain in their comfort zone. Unknowing to me, the more attention I gave to my weaknesses, the more it damaged my self-esteem.

Little was I aware that I had succeeded in making the soil of my life fertile for the lies of the adversary. “You are not good enough; you are a failure, and you don’t belong.” Those were the words that kept ringing in my mind each time I attempted to break forth from my past mistakes. I believed those lies, and this pattern continued for a long time until my entire self-esteem was shattered.

Crocodile Tears & Jesus

Candid Guest · August 18, 2021 · 4 Comments

Things had been going so well. But now I watched as genuine crocodile tears ran down his chubby little red face.

Tatum had been having a blast in the electric car his Uncle Michael had brought to our house. Driving the tiny vehicle appeared to be the highlight of his toddler life. I was impressed he could keep the pedal pushed down enough to make the car hum across the patio. Steering, however, proved to be a skill he hadn’t yet mastered. His giggles, though, fully compensated our efforts as we raced to keep the path cleared of porch furniture and planters ahead of him.

God Loves You – A Candid Moment Guest

Candid Guest · August 16, 2021 · Leave a Comment

God Loves You feature

How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Psalm 36:7

            Has anyone ever told you: “God loves you?” Growing up in church, I heard this phrase tossed around quite a bit. As a very young child, I felt the love of God deeply. Receiving and flowing in His love was second nature for me.

            But, as I got older, God’s love became something that I logically understood. The Bible said He loved me, so I believed it, but I felt it less and less.
