“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again – my Savior and my God!” ~ Psalms 42:1

This verse really hit home for me today. And because of the power this verse holds, I felt the need to share it with each of you. All too often, we wallow in our sorrows and throw pity parties for ourselves. When we focus so much on the troubles of life, we tend to lose sight of the many blessings we’ve been given. But no matter our earthly circumstances, we must remember the hope our God brings. Instead of concentrating on the negatives, let’s remain optimistic as we still have so much celebrate. And instead of losing hope and becoming discouraged, look for the peace and reassurance that our Lord offers. He may not wipe your situation away, but He’ll surely wipe away your tears. Put your faith in God and you can get through anything.

Orange juice is full of calcium… that’s no hidden secret. We all know that orange juice is the best thing to drink when you’re under the weather. I just bought another gallon at the grocery store and am drinking my 400th glass of the day. Since I have no appetite and haven’t eaten since yesterday morning, orange juice is currently my best friend.

Anyhooo. We turn to good ol’ OJ when we’re sick, but what about the other 351 days of the year (assuming you’re sick about two weeks of the calendar year)? I usually stick to coffee, water, coffee, chocolate milk (of which my husband refers to as his version of “crack”), some adult beverages and coffee. I don’t even really think about OJ when I’m not sick. But, what’s odd is that if the calcium in OJ is  so good for you when you’re sick, why wouldn’t it be good for you when you’re healthy?  The thing is, it’s still good for you…but we only turn to it when we need it.

The same tends to be true of the Bible. Continue reading →
