A Solid Foundation Is A Must

by Tshanina on Saturday, May 19th, 2012



 

Someone in our neighborhood is getting a new house. Oh how excited they must be! The lot has been vacant for years so it’s been neat to see the changes that are being made daily.

 

I’m always amazed at how quickly houses are built, aren’t you? One day they’re working on the foundation and just a few days later they’ll be laying brick. I’m sure you know that a foundation is the most important part of building a house – get that wrong and you could have nightmares down the road.

 

As I think about the foundation of a house I can’t help but compare it to our finances. No matter what stage of life you are in, it’s important to have a good, solid financial foundation. If your dream is to send a child through college in a few years, you should probably start saving now. If you want to go to Australia someday, you should probably start paying off some of those bills so that you’ll have the money for that wonderful trip.

 

Think about where you want to be 1, 5, even 10 years from now. How can you begin to build a solid foundation to get there? You’re the only thing that’s keeping you from your dreams.

Twizzler Super Long Nibs Review

by Tshanina on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012



 
Twizzlers are one of my all-time favorite candies! Our family always snacks on them when we get together. In fact, my niece said the other day, “We need a bag of Twizzlers; it’s a tradition.”

 

 
My sister actually found this new creation by Twizzlers. They’re called Super Long Nibs! Much like the other Twizzlers candies, I fell in love with these chewy, cherry candies at first bite. If you like Nibs you’re going to love these! The truth is, you just can’t go wrong with any of the Twizzler products!
 
If you see these at your local grocery store grab a bag but don’t plan on them hanging around your house very long!

Take A Minute Tuesday

by Tshanina on Tuesday, May 15th, 2012



take a minute tuesday

 

Today as we take a break from our normal posts, I encourage you to be still for just a few minutes and take some time to meet with God. God is all around us; we just have to take the time to experience Him. Psalm 46:10 encourages us to, “Be still and know that I am God.“

 

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. ~ James 5:13

 

If you’re feeling insecure about yourself and unsure of your abilities today, I have good  news for you. You don’t have to know all the answers. You just have to now the One who does know all the answers. If you’re lacking wisdom; if you’re overwhelmed with responsibilities; if you’re having trouble at work – go to God.

 

James 5:13 tells us to do just that – “Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray.” Prayer changes things. Have you been hitting your knees on a regular basis? If not, you’re missing out. God has all of the answers. He knows the exact information you need for your meeting tomorrow. He knows the way to win over your difficult friend. He knows it all! And what’s more, He is willing to share it all with you.

 

Prayer is your connection to the Creator of the entire Universe. And we have access to Him twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year. You just can’t beat a deal like that! So why not put in some “on your knees time” today? After praising Him for all of your blessings and putting in all of your requests, make sure you take time to listen. God may want to impart some wisdom to you this very day.
