Sometimes You’re Just Out Of Sorts

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ 1 Comment

So I don’t really know why I’m feeling like I’m feeling, I wish I did.  Since this past Sunday, I have been in a terribly foul mood and oh just so angry.  I have lots of busy “head talk” going on and that is never good.  My poor Michael, he just can’t seem to do or say anything right this week.  I wish I knew why.

I really expected this week to be a beginning.  I recently signed up for an online Bible Study hosted by the Proverbs 31 Ministry – Proverbs31.org –  It is a bible study on the book “What Happens When Women Say Yes To God” by Lysa TerKeurst.

Your Word says…. therefore

I wish I could take credit for this, but I found this list in my bible some years ago, and when I’m feeling out of sorts, this is a strong reminder of who I am in Christ.

I am justified and declared “not guilty” of sin. 
“All are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus” Romans 3:24

 No condemnation awaits me 
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Romans 8:1

 I am set free from the law of sin and death
“Through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set youfree from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2

I am sanctified and made acceptable in Jesus Christ
“Those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Cor 1:2  Continue reading →

The Bathroom Mirror

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

About a month ago, things at Mike’s work started getting really crazy.  There was talk of layoffs, people getting fired, etc .  It made things around here very tense and I don’t do well when there is tension in the house.  As Mike would leave each day for work, I would pray Lord just be with him today… keep him focused.  Late one night after a particularly stressfull shift at work… well…  I sort of lost my cool.

Now keep in mind that Mike is a wonderful God-fearing man.  But… the “old” mike shows up from time to time.  I didn’t know him then, but from what I hear I wouldn’t have liked him very much.  As asked him straight out if he believed in God, he said yes you know I do.  Do you believe in the Bible as the word of God… again, yes of course I do.  So then I started spouting out scripture about being anxious and that he needed to stand on that scripture and believe.  I could see that he was thinking about what I had said.

So then next day he heads off to work and I have a thought.

IMG_0685  I decided that I was going to put up the scripture on the bathroom mirror.  Well needless to say, he laughed at what he saw.  Then he stood there and read it over and over.  As you can see from the picture, there have been so many scriptures added to our bathroom mirror.  Continue reading →
