Opening My Heart

Welcome!

It's my heart's desire to be an encouragment to others. The purpose of this blog is to uplift, encourage and be a help where I can in sharing thoughts and blessings, creative ideas, and helpful recipes for food allergies. I am not at all close to being a good writer but I want this just to be a tool for helping others as some have helped me.

God has been so good in bringing me to realize my need of salvation and continuing to work in my life to bring me closer to Him since that day. My heart has been so full lately from the overwhelming blessing of family, friends and of Christ's love for me. As parents now, our eyes have been opened more and we understand a little portion about Christ's unconditional love for His children. I am so grateful for a wonderful Savior Who loves us and pours out His blessings upon our lives.

In all honesty, everyday is not a bed of roses but we can live joyfully in the midst of what's going on around us or even through the situation the Lord has placed in our lives. I wholeheartedly believe the Lord brings things into our lives so we will be able to help others in a better way. With the Lord's help, I am trying to find that "good" in every situation He brings and have a joyful spirit in the midst of what He is doing. I desire to take what the Lord has brought me through and has taught or is teaching me to be a help to someone else. As women, it's so easy to get distracted and complain about what we are going through or how our life is in comparison to others when the Lord wants us to be content and have a calm delight that He has purposed for us to have. I am striving to magnify and show God's goodness through having a happy and joyful spirit in my life and in my home and can hopefully be an encouragment to some along the way sharing joys, trials, and my heart. I pray it will be uplifting and a help to you as you journey with me in JOY UNSPEAKABLE.
