A Quick Message from Kara

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I appreciate you being interested in what this everyday girl has to say ;-). I'm a daughter, sister and friend who simply LOVES life! I believe that we all have been created by God for a purpose and that whatever gifts/talents He blesses us with. . . we should use them to draw people to Him!

{The title of my blog comes from Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." My grandfather gave me the nickname "Bright Eyes" as a child, I decided to combine to the two things-> soft words and bright eyes ;-).}

I am a PK (Preacher's Kid). And I am so grateful to have parents who taught me the importance of having a *personal* relationship with Jesus Christ. I had to get to know Him for myself and I try to encourage others to do the same.

Through this journey called life, God has been my constant. Yes- I have a great support system (friends and family) but knowing that the Creator of the UNIVERSE is concerned about you is an amazing feeling! To be able trust in Him is a blessing!

It's my prayer that through my blog posts, you will be inspired and encouraged to really get to know God on a personal level! If you'd like to contact me, please send an email to karalfrison@yahoo.com or connect with me on Twitter (@SpecialK_930)

Don't be a stranger!
Feel free to leave a comment & spread the word.

God bless,
Kara

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow! I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?" Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV) **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...

7 Revelations for 37

I really was trying to get through this birthday- well- get away with not writing anything specific, but all of a sudden, ideas started flowing. So. . . Here are 7 Revelations that I am trying to be mindful of as I go through Year 37. 1. Proverbs 4:23 is a command (not a suggestion). It reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life (AMP)." Other translations say to keep or guard your heart. . . In other words, be selective and protect it. Watch what you allow to enter your heart. Seeds may be planted by various circumstances, people with whom you interact, etc. but you do not need to allow everything to take root. Things like bitterness, frustration, and envy will try to find a home within you. Beware: Whatever you allow to take root in your heart will be reflected through your actions! 2. This goes right with Point #1. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Clearing the air can also help to keep your heart [and spirit] c...
