Comfortable Shoes
It’s so easy to get complacent and stuck in a rut when our surroundings become common and familiar. We do the same old things day after day and nothing new seems to be happening. It’s like wearing the same pair of shoes everyday because they are comfortable.
We can become comfortable in life as well. But all of a sudden, God shows us a new pair of shoes.
They look good but stepping into them means leaving the old pair behind. What if they aren’t as comfortable as the old pair? What if we don’t want to leave our comfy shoes? We usually look at our comfy shoes in adoration but sometimes we actually turn them over to really see them for what they are. We see the soul is wearing thin or maybe it has even worn out all together.
Life is like this we can become so attached to familiarity and the common that we never really step into something new. Our soul may be suffering because of our unwillingness to change.
Even though the new will be better for us, it can be scary stepping out into something unfamiliar, but it can also be the greatest decision we will ever make.
I just want to encourage anyone who is at a crossroads to take that step, follow God put those new shoes on that He has for you and see how your soul soars.
That is what I have decided to do. Won’t you step out with me into this wonderful life Christ died for us to have?

Why I Do What I do
As many of you may have noticed, I only post on my blog when I am inspired to do so. However today's post comes from a broken heart and the need to do something about it.
In early December 2012 the Lord called me to write a book for Him. It was He who dictated what I was to write. I just obeyed. This happened only two weeks before the Sandy Hook school shooting. When that shooting happened, the Lord said to me, "This is why you are writing, Julie. You are going to reach my children before they go down the wrong path."
Now, I know you may be thinking, "Who are you, Julie, that you should write for God?"
That's exactly what I thought too. I have made so many mistakes and committed so many outright sins in my life. I thought, I can't possibly write books for God. But He laid it on my heart to do this and I was not in peace at all until I decided to obey Him.
These books were birthed out of obedience and a willingness to do God's will. What I never anticipated was that through all the fasting and prayer throughout the writing process, God would instill a love in me I had never known before.
A love for His children so great that I cannot even hear of them being harmed without being brought to tears. This is honestly not me. I do not know what God has done inside of me but I do know I have a heart for His children I have never had before.
So today I write because I heard of yet another school shooting. I have a need to take action but not in vengeance. This action makes me want to pick up all these kids involved in these incidents and tell them how much they are loved, how much they are valued and how unnecessary all of this killing is.
This post is a plea. Please help me get these books to our children. God wants them to know how much He loves them, and my heart breaks every time I hear of His children destroying each other because they just don't know how much they are truly loved. Will you please help me serve God and join me in my effort to reach our children before one more life is taken?
With a very heavy heart,
Julie

When Friends Die Young
We have all experienced loss to some degree, whether it be a family member, friend, or pet. It's never easy dealing with all the emotions that arise. But have you ever noticed how difficult it is when that loss happens to be someone young? Someone who had their whole life ahead of them. I just recently found out a childhood friend of mine lost his life at the age of 24. It was shocking at first. My mind instantly went back to our time at space camp together and how we arranged to go to space academy together too.
We were pen pals for years. He was in Indiana and I was in NY. We would even call each other every now and then. We were kids but I remember having great conversations with Aaron.
He was always so witty and funny. If I was in a bad mood, I wouldn't stay that way for very long if I talked to him.
I found a memorial page his family set up, and it is a great page but also sad.
Someone had posted that He didn't even have a chance to change the world because he died so young. But I wanted to write and let his family know he did change the world. He changed it for me. He changed it by being a part of my life.
I wasn't the most popular kid and I struggled with many emotions for years. Aaron helped me through the worst times I had in middle school. He was really a bright and shining star for me. He really did encourage me and challenged me to do more and do it better.
He was such a positive influence in my life. Sometimes if we influence one person it can change the world.
If Aaron's family is reading this, I just want to say thank you so much for bringing Aaron into the world. Even if it was for a short time it was not wasted time. He truly was a blessing to me. I just know if Aaron were here now, he would still be encouraging me to go on and help others, which is exactly what I am doing.
I will carry our friendship forever in my heart, and I pray that this post, and these books, will be a blessing to many.
Moving forward with the call on my life, is the only way to honor Aaron's life. I am taking his advice and moving forward.
Thank you so much God, for blessing my life and crossing my path with Aaron Schoffstall's. I am forever blessed.

Friends are Forever
After having a wonderful conversation with a good friend last night, I was left with the question, "What makes a good friend?"
People in our lives come and go. We have friends for a short time, and some for the longer haul. We have friends to hang out with, friends to comfort and share things with, and friends to just let loose with. All of these types of friends are good in their own right.
But what makes a good friend? I learned last night.
My friend and I were separated by God. He called her into service away from me. I was headed in my calling while she was headed into hers. We had to separate for a time. She obeyed God, although I didn't understand the need for her to be pulled away.
Her obedience to God by backing off of our friendship helped me to grow in ways that would have never been possible, had she been right there for me to turn to.
See, I needed to learn and grow with God, and learn not to turn to someone else for guidance and direction. I needed Him, but as long as she was there I would go to her not Him. He knew this, but I wasn't aware. So by being pulled away from our friendship, she was being an excellent friend to me.
Although it hurt, I now know a good friend will always obey God and turn away from us if it's the best thing for us. A good friend wants to see us grow, and be healthy. But even more a good friend wants us going to God because they know they will not be there forever. They know God will always be there forever and ever, no matter what. A good friend will do what they need to do selflessly even if it means they get hurt too, just to see us in a better place. A good friend will even walk away if they know it's best for us.
If you are in a situation right now that feels enmeshed and if you know the relationship is unhealthy the following prayer may help.
Dear God, please help me turn to you and not someone else for the answers only you can give. Help me turn wholeheartedly to you, God. I know you already have solutions to every situation in my life. Thank you God for always leading, guiding, and directing my steps. Thank you for removing anything from me even my friends, if it means I will take my eyes off you. And thank you for giving us good friends that point the way to you. Amen.

Helping Each Other
It's amazing what we can learn from animals. We watched a documentary on PBS all about the animal kingdom. We saw how chimpanzees, monkeys, and apes help each other.
Now this was interesting, because in school we all learned about survival of the fittest. We learned how the dominant ones are the ones that succeed.
Well, this show was saying how the exact opposite is true; especially when it comes to the animal kingdom.
It's not survival of the fittest that helps these apes and chimps. They actually learn to work together. What they have learned is if the dominant ape or chimp is always cheating others, and acting badly to get their own way, the others learn not to trust them.
Pretty soon the other apes, chimps, or monkeys will actually separate from the dominate one so that He/She becomes isolated and cut off from the rest.
So, what in fact happens, is although there may be dominant animals, they still figure out ways to help each other so that their species can move forward as a whole.
Wouldn't it be great if we would apply this knowledge to our own society? Just imagine how our lives could be if we were more helpful to those around us instead of just trying to dominate one another for our own selfish gain.
Let's challenge each other to be helpful and be a blessing to one another. Let's see how helping each other improves our lives, and the lives of those around us. We can definitely impact our world in a positive way.
After watching this program, I have acquired a new motto.
If an ape can do it, so can I.
Let's get busy helping each other have a blessed day!

Hope for Tomorrow
Have you ever had one of those days when you wish you could just go back to bed and make the day be over with already? Have you ever just wanted to fast forward to tomorrow?
We have all had days that just seem to bomb from the minute we wake up to the minute we go to bed. But just hoping for tomorrow really steals the gifts God has for us today. I know we may not feel well or we may be facing a huge problem.
We tend to think we can't take anymore and sometimes we really do wonder how we will make it through the day. God is with us though, and He promises we will never be given more than we can handle.
As I have been studying my bible recently, I have discovered that a lot of our problems are just opportunities for us to practice handling them God's way.
It's amazing to see what happens when we determine to do something the right way. Our level of peace grows, and I have been amazed at the calm I have experienced in my heart regardless of my outward circumstances.
Today I would like to encourage you to do the right thing. If you are facing any kind of problem look up issue in the back of your bible, read all about how to handle it God's way.
It is amazing to watch God work for us when we are determined to handle things His way regardless of our feelings.
Once we discover the peace He really wants us to have, we won't have to wish for our day to be over. We won't have to hope for tomorrow either, we can be content in where we are today.
Don't miss out on God's awesome power in your life! Let's be determined to start handling our problems God's way!

Abbey of Genesee
Have you ever thought about spending a weekend with God? I knew God was asking me to get alone with him and get real quiet, so this past weekend I went on a silent retreat to the Abbey of Genesee. It was an amazing experience. The monks hold prayer services at the Abbey where psalms are chanted. These services are open to the public, and the monks observe silence during their work. They are well known for their bread as well. Perhaps you have heard of it; Monks Bread made by trappist monks.
I really wanted to write about the Abbey because the grounds are just beautiful, and they have hard workers on staff that make our meals, and make us feel very welcome even though silence is observed by all. The retreatents lack nothing. There is a bathroom and sink in each guest room, and a shared shower. The grounds are so peaceful and very well maintained. There is a path that leads to the Abbey and to the greenway trail so you can really experience God in nature. I cannot say enough about this place, but to top it all off in the midst of silence, God draws out the things from the deepest recesses of our heart. I gained many insights and many things were revealed to me and I was only there for one weekend. Needless to say, I am going back. If you have ever thought about taking a retreat I would encourage you to do so. It is amazing, and I am sure quite a different experience awaits for each of us as only God knows what He would like to reveal to us. But even in the midst of dealing with hard issues, there is no better place to be than surrounded by God and nature. His peace certainly does reside in this place.
God bless, and please check out the Abbey of Genesee in Piffard, NY.

Dancing with Jesus
We have all watched beautiful dance performances where the performers move in sync with each other, making very difficult moves look easy. Every time I see these type of performances, it makes me want to learn to dance.
One morning in my prayers the Lord asked me to dance with Him. I thought to myself, "ok Julie, now you are really losing your mind." But, I got up and said yes to God. Pretty soon we were ballroom dancing across the living room floor with dips and twirls and twists, the whole nine yards. It must have looked crazy but I didn't care. I was having so much fun I said, "Wow, Lord! I didn't realize you like to dance!"
He taught me a very important lesson that day. He taught me when I walk with the Lord, I get distracted by all the other things around me. When I walk, I don't stick to the path, I go here and there. However, when I dance, I must follow the Lord's lead. I don't know where He is going next but we are moving together so fast I cling to Him so I won't miss a step and fall. When we dance, the Lord is my only focus.
I never looked at dancing as training in faith, but it is. When dancing, you must stay with your partner, and trust your partner, you must follow his lead, you never walk away or get distracted when you are being twirled and dipped, you hang on for dear life! At least that's what I do. I have never moved like this with anyone.
At one point I even said, "Lord, my husband may get jealous". He said, "Why? He can dance with Me too if He wants". I couldn't help but laugh.
I am just blown away by the Lord and all He does to pursue us and keep us looking to Him.
If you are just trying to make it through the day, I would encourage you to ask Jesus to dance. He is awesome and you will not be disappointed.
I really do dance with Him every morning now. Dancing with Him puts me in a better mood and I am able to find joy in my circumstances.
I now know, that no matter what, Jesus really is there, not only to help us through our problems and everyday life, but He wants us to dance with Him, all the way through our days.
Next time you hear, "May I have this dance?" My deepest hope and prayer is that you will say yes Lord.

Influencers
We have all had people in our lives we look up to. People we think really have it all together. They know what they are doing, they know why they are doing it, and they really know how to get the job done. These people can be powerful tools and resources in our lives, but is this really good for us? It can be. It's always beneficial for us to learn wisdom from those who have walked the path before us, but there is a danger with influential people in our lives as well.
How can powerful influencers be a danger? The danger is not in the influencers themselves. The danger lies in us. There is a fine line between influence and idols.
When we look up to someone, we may like what we see, like it a lot, and want to do things exactly like these people. We may take on traits and behaviors we would not have come up with on our own. And therein lies the problem. How is that a problem? From experience, I can tell you when I was trying to do things just like someone else, it never really seemed to work for me the way it did for them. I would go nuts trying to figure out why. I would talk to them and see what I needed to tweak. I would try, and seem to fail again and again. I would take more advice and do more tweaking and pretty soon started thinking, maybe I'm just not good enough. Comparing myself with the people I wanted to be like made me miserable.
I would look up to them and fall short every time. I didn't realize all the while I was taking on a condemning spirit of myself. And pretty soon it was affecting everything in my life. When things were not working for me the way I thought they should, I would beat myself up thinking there must be something wrong with me.
I spent years trying to fix myself so I could be just like my idols. When it seemed to work I would feel great about myself, and when it didn't work I would feel down. It's an awful roller coaster ride that never seems to end. It never really occurred to me perhaps this was not the plan for my life.
I never even considered God may have something totally different in mind for me. I was just so focused on my influencers/idols, I was missing out on all the things God wanted for me.
Well thank God He brought this to my attention. I am on a totally different path now and loving it. God is showing me things I never knew I could have. I didn't even know this path existed for me. I am so happy I have learned the difference between influencers and idols.
People, no matter how powerful, are not what we should look up to. We should look to our Creator, the one who made us and the one who knows the plans He has for us. We all matter, we all have a job to do, and God knows exactly what that is. We can all be happy and feel fulfilled when we do what we were created to do. If you feel stuck in this condemning pattern, this simple prayer may help:
Dear Lord, please show me what you want me to do. I receive the plan you have for my life. Guide me in the way I should go. Amen.

Fourth of July
My Father God, we remember you on the 4th of July and we honor you alone. Before we were born a nation, you were first and foremost in our forefathers prayers. All of our policies, government, and money rotates around you.
Since the birth of our nation you have blessed the United States with freedom. Because of you, our nation has prospered. Even with our world the way it is today, you still bless us.
We pray for all our soldiers residing with you who fought for our freedom. Bless them in your holy land. We pray for all of our soldiers fighting today, that you will protect and guide them.
Even in our Pledge Of Allegiance, we remember you, "one nation under God". We are nothing without you.
Please remember your servants in this day and age and bless us on this freedom day.
Amen
