On to the Other Side

So, what could "on the other side" possibly mean? On the other side of the street, state, country, planet? It is about living in the Kingdom here on Earth. A lot of Christians are just waiting for the Lord to come back instead of living a Kingdom life while you are here. So, we are able to live this lifestyle now, today, this moment. Especially right now in this economic squeeze it is so important to receive what the Lord has for us. We can cross over, but still be living here. We had a pastor speak a couple weeks ago and he mentioned about how Christians aren't any different than non-believers. I think he called them cultural Christians. This made me examine some of the things going on my head and my home. You can't be a cultural Christian and live on the other side. We were once in darkness, but now we walk in the light...we want others to see this in us. This area has been especially loud in our lives right now. Matt and I have been standing in his throne room worshiping Him and believing for all of our needs. And he has been faithful in every step... Last Monday, when Matt went to work our prayer was that the Lord would bring in more business than ever because he lost a whole week of work because of the tropical storm. And in His faithfulness Matt was able to fill out more applications in five days than he did the whole rest of the month. I was amazed....he was at 15 applications on Monday and came home at 33 on Friday. Only the Lord can do that. He has provided for us in such amazing ways...Matt's boss is amazed that he is doing so well in his first year...one of the best ever in this company. Only because of the Lord's favor and because of the covenant that we have with Him. So, as we walk on the other side, will you join us? What an amazing journey this has been and we are excited to see what else he has for us!

Pulling Myself Out of the Deepest, Darkest Depression...My Story

Image
     This post has been churning in me for months and knew that I wanted to write it and post it one day. I have been very open and honest about where I have been at the last few years, so some of what I write today may not be a surprise to anyone. Either way, I hope it brings help and healing and promise to some of you.      Two years and ten months ago my husband and I had just got into bed. It wasn't very late...maybe around 10pm. Life had been busy...he had just flown in that morning. He was long distance commuting between Florida and North Carolina with his job. I had picked him up that morning in the Greenville, South Carolina airport and then we headed to a swim meet in the same town for our daughter, Esther. We were there most of the day...stopping at some stores before we headed back to our home in North Carolina. I hadn't talked to my mom in a few days, which was rare. I was super busy and she hadn't called me either. I called her, and she didn't answer.

2020...What does that look like to you? I am ready to BLOOM!

Image
As I sit here at my desk, we have already gone through the first few days of 2020. I keep shaking my head when I think that we are already 20 years into this century. Doesn't it feel like moments ago we were talking about Y2K? So much has happened since then. Matthew and I were talking just this morning that I will turn 45 this year, and how half of my 40s will be over and how fast they have gone. And how difficult they have been. But I have hope. I never lose hope. I got that from my mom. I am expecting a great year. Not because I think I won't have trials this year, it's because I am stronger than ever before. So, a few days ago I was listening to something. I can't even remember what it was. But I heard the word BLOOM. And I instantly knew God was saying that this is my word for the year. I don't always take a word for the year, but I knew God was speaking to me. He told me that this is my year to BLOOM. The old is put away and the new is coming. I am walking i

Warning: Do you think your child may be Dyslexic?

Image
Three years ago today our world changed so much here at the Reynolds Nation. On that day we found out officially by the psychologist that Judah was dyslexic. I had been concerned for about 9 months that he was...I had heard on Good Morning one day what are some of the signs of dyslexia. Though I always watched my kids for dyslexia, Judah just didn't have the classic signs... like the turning of the letters B, D and P.  Everyone always looks for that, but Judah didn't do that. But he was behind in his reading. And wasn't progressing in a rate that was okay. So, we had him tested. And it was confirmed. And on that day I started an intense search to find what help we could find for Judah. Several people pointed us to the Barton Reading and Spelling program...and that's the avenue we took. I took the training program and I tutored Judah...he went from a reading level of a kindergartner/first grader to a sixth grader when we were finished with the program. And then I s
