Fighting the Flesh, Keeping the Faith

Real stories of failures in the flesh and triumphs of faith.

ABOUT THE BLOG

When my flesh and my heart fail, God is my portion and my strength. Psalm 73:26
This Psalm has inspired me in many ways. It's helped me deal with my lifelong anxieties and it's inspired the name for my blog. Flesh and Faith is a place where I want to share with you some funny, crazy, and very real stories of my fleshly failures and some heartwarming, inspiring, and very real stories from my faith in a faithful God. Not sure about you, but my flesh fails often but my faith is strong. My hope is that these stories inspire, encourage you and bring glory to God. I pray that my words help you to fight the flesh, build your faith and find your strength and portion in God.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Real Me

This is me in the flesh. I'm messy, unorganized, forgetful. I'm human, I'm weak, I'm fleshly and I fail. But for all of my fleshly failures I have a faith that is way bigger than a mustard seed and can move mountains. I have a faith that is confident in what I hope for and assured of what I do not see. I am a Christian, child of God, wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and secretary of our local small town church. My husband James and I have been married for 17 years and counting, if he continues to lavish me with good things. We are raising two daughters to love and serve the Lord. One teen and one pre-teen. Lord help us. They are beautiful and dad is a great shot. The oldest, Ashlin is a future volleyball pro, if there is such a thing and my youngest Jamie is a drama queen who can sing and perform like nobody's business. We strive to love and serve the Lord together, but we may not all end up at the dinner table at the same time each night, because that is our life. But when we're together and having fun we can laugh until our sides split. I have a crazy silly and sometimes cheesy sense of humor and I tend to think way outside the box. I'm an avid Oklahoma Sooners fan, "Boomer Sooner" and have an odd obsession with baby groot and Abraham Lincoln. This is me in all my not so glorious glory. I hope you can relate.
