Hello and welcome! My name is Maryann Lorts and I am a daughter of the One True King. I need to remind myself of this truth every day. I get out of bed and wake to a tired world and see a need to be a light. My calling may be small among many, but by God’s will, I will run the race that He has placed before me and finish well.

People want ease. The way that's fast, popular and People want ease. The way that's fast, popular and has least resistance is the way that people follow, often like sheep. Even those called by the Lord want the easy and high road. God doesn't say anything is easy other than placing our faith in Him. The new life we're called to live is often rough and mocked. And in that, we're blessed to keep to the path that God is calling us into walk. Our faith focus should be on what is right according to The Word of God, not according to interpretation, or man's made up religious feelings...or secular society. We need to stay on the true path of righteousness. Be strong. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV
God sees our burdens and hears our prayers. He alw God sees our burdens and hears our prayers. He always cares. We are the ones getting in His way by filling the void with useless doubts. We need to place our burdens at the cross and get out of God's way of caring for us. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 NIV
Our old lives should be abandoned when we place ou Our old lives should be abandoned when we place our faith in Christ. The new life we embrace should be honoring to Him- not to idols and false ways of living. We should be filled with truth, not thoughts and feelings fueled by emotions. Being steadfast in the Lord is the only way. We must leave pride behind. Glory belongs to the Lord alone! In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Philippians 2:5‭-‬8 NIV Photo credit YouVersion
Are we relying on fools...self? We are to trust th Are we relying on fools...self? We are to trust the Lord, period. We can't follow self, man, material things created by man...Only Jesus. He is the only true North. Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe. Proverbs 28:26 NIV
