Getting To The Top

By Shirley Mozena|2018-10-26T19:13:47-07:00June 10th, 2016|Hope and Joy|

Perhaps you’re facing something more difficult than a trail winding up a mountain. Is it a difficult marriage? Is your adult child wandering away from the faith you believed he’d keep? Is someone you love sick? Has the doctor told you something isn’t quite right and there are more tests to be done? Did your boss tell you that the company is making cut-backs and your job is in jeopardy? Perhaps people are saying things about you that are not true. Whatever the difficulty, I challenge you to give them to the Maker of the beautiful world we live in. He knows your difficulty. He’s right there with you. He loves you.

Hope—Very Real

By Shirley Mozena|2018-10-26T19:09:07-07:00June 10th, 2016|Hope and Joy|

My life is good, but I still need to be reminded of where my hope lies. I also read, "Cease striving and know that I am God." I learned that "striving" means sink down, let drop, relax. Sometimes I don't relax very well.

Mrs. Grumpy Skirt

By Shirley Mozena|2018-10-26T19:06:50-07:00June 7th, 2016|Hope and Joy, Spiritual Reflections|

I wish I would learn to always be thankful and grateful for my situation. But I am not. I woke up grumpy and it continued throughout the day.

My future on this earth is uncertain, but my eternity is certain and the best is yet to come. This I know for sure: I am not alone, for I have that same risen Savior walking beside me.

An “Aha” Moment

By Shirley Mozena|2018-10-25T18:53:26-07:00June 7th, 2016|Hope and Joy|

The method I like takes you through on a slower path. Each day you read a certain section of the Bible

The Key

By Shirley Mozena|2018-10-25T18:44:42-07:00May 20th, 2016|Hope and Joy|

I really enjoy looking back sometimes. Looking back usually shows you how you’ve moved forward. I write a blog, keep a journal and write down prayer requests. Then I can look back and see how God has worked in my life. It’s amazing, actually.

I thought about the various zero milestones in my life. I remembered each one of them. Some were more special than the other. Others were really difficult ones and with not much joy. I clearly remember the one ten years ago....
