I am so happy to share that my children's book is now on Amazon! I wrote it to help my young grandchildren learn about God's amazing creation in a fun way. My granddaughter is the main character, which makes it really special. 💞

I hope families enjoy reading it together. Thank you for your support & prayers! 🙏🏼

Psalm 55:22 is one of the most quoted verses in the book of Psalms, and for good reason. 🤍It’s especially powerful when you’re overwhelmed, hurting, or have been hurt by someone you trusted.

David is deeply troubled in this Psalm. He describes his heart as being in pain, fear coming over him, and even wishing he could just fly away and find rest. What makes his pain even deeper is that it wasn’t an enemy who hurt him. It was someone close to him, someone he trusted and shared fellowship with.

Then comes this beautiful reminder:

“Cast your burden on the LORD,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”
Psalm 55:22 🙏

The Psalm doesn’t tell us that we won’t have burdens. David certainly did. It shows us what to do with them.
Give them to the Lord.

We don’t have to fix everything. We don’t have to understand everything. We don’t have to carry everything ourselves.

I also love how David ends the Psalm. After pouring out all of his hurt, fear, and disappointment before God, he ends with these simple words:

“But I will trust in You.”
- Psalm 55:23 🤍

Sometimes that’s all we can say. 🥹
Lord, I don’t understand it, but I will trust You. 🙏

@PaulJTrojan1 Praying for Cheryl 🙏

[Paul J Trojan @PaulJTrojan1]

My sister Cheryl goes for her second chemo treatment on Friday.
She has lost her voice

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@KimPrather1 This is so cool! I had no idea cosmos were that easy to save & grow again. I’m going to have to start collecting seeds from mine now. 😊

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

Please pray for Ruth. 🙏

[Ruth @RuthSagan1]

My heart is breaking 💔 😢 I need someone to minister to me please 🙏

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

Hi Ruth. I’m not sure what’s happening in your life right now, but I know that Jesus certainly does. I’ve been dealing with a lot of heartbreak and various trials myself for what seems like years now. I’ve cried more tears than I ever thought I had.
One thing I keep hearing in my spirit is the Lord’s promise, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Sometimes when everything else feels uncertain, I have to remind myself that He hasn’t gone anywhere. He is still with us in the middle of the pain, even when we don’t understand what He is doing.
I’m praying for you. 🙏 ❤️

@joecast50967150 I believe Matt 24 concerns Israel & the future Tribulation leading to Christ’s return. So if we see the stage being set for future prophecy, how exactly is that supposed to be an argument against pretrib?

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

The Jews preserved these writings, some were certainly read & valued, but they were not ultimately included in the Jewish canon of inspired Scripture. The early church was not unanimous about the extra books. Some accepted them as Scripture, while others distinguished them from the Hebrew canon. The disagreement existed for centuries before Rome *dogmatically defined its canon at Trent in 1546. So, no. It’s 66 God-breathed, inspired books of Scripture. 🙏

Just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

This is why we spread the gospel…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The gospel itself is God’s means of bringing people to faith. Jesus said that when He was lifted up on the cross, He would draw all people to Himself. Just as the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness & all those who looked to it lived, Christ was lifted up so that whoever believes in Him will have life.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@MitchMi68122792 @ProvisionistP The Scriptures tell us exactly why. We don’t need to guess. They love darkness rather than light and want to rule their own lives. That’s the problem Jesus identifies, Mitch. It’s because of what they love and what they are unwilling to do.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@MitchMi68122792 @ProvisionistP Because they don’t want to. That’s exactly what Jesus says: “You are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.”
Jesus puts the blame on what they love & what they are unwilling to do.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@MitchMi68122792 @ProvisionistP Jesus said they “refuse to come” to Him so that they can have life.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

If you can balance it well, that’s great. I obviously failed to do that. I spent many years working to elect conservatives. I volunteered for campaigns, went door to door, attended rallies, spent countless hours phone banking thousands of people, registered people to vote, served as a county chair for the Cruz campaign, put up signs, and used social media to promote candidates. I even had my kids involved at some of the rallies.
Looking back, I don’t think any of it led to much besides disappointment after disappointment. These people make promise after promise to get elected, and within a couple of years, most of them sell out to special interests, donors, party leadership, or whoever else has influence over them.
I poured way too much of my time and energy into politics thinking we could change things if we just elected the right people. Eventually, I realized (through a lot of prayer) that politics had taken up a place in my life that it never should have occupied. I’ve repented and I am not looking back. I will vote if I have someone to vote for, but God changed my priorities. I’ve never felt more peace about a decision in my entire life.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@Scrip7urScholr I am so sorry. 💔 May the good Lord comfort you and give you peace. 🙏

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@Annchap43858665 Depends on the person/relationship. Sometimes yes and sometimes no depending on who is lying to me.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@JimmyParker87 Who knows really. There are a ton of videos just like this one of women filming themselves cursing at and screaming at their kids. The world is sick.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

⚠️ LANGUAGE WARNING: This is disturbing.

A “mother” curses at her little girl & threatens to hit her, all while keeping the camera rolling. Her husband backs her up in the background. Terrible parents.

Lord, please protect these children. 🙏😢

[PJ Masculinity @pjalphareacts]

Toxic women will be mean to their kids for clout, this is disgusting

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

@JimmyParker87 She probably is mean to both depending on the day. I think she is simply being nice to him to hurt her daughter in that moment. It’s simple manipulation.
