Welcome April Lynne Self

By -
I Can Do All Things is excited to welcome aboard a new writer for our blog. After much prayer, and seeking the Lord to lead us to the right person, someone that will help spread the truth of His loving word, we have welcomed April Lynn, into our blogging family. April's writing brings a different flavor to I Can Do All Things, one that we think you will enjoy. 

A little about April Lynne:

April Lynne Self has a passion for knowing, living out and ferreting the Truth.  God drew her at an early age, to know Him, despite growing up in a home that did not believe in God.  She studied on her own for years, but late in life went back to graduate school, to get her MDIV in theology from Liberty University.

She loves people, and has a heart for freeing the hurting soul, from the misery, that the lies of Satan will create.  This comes across in every vocation of hers:  as a high school math and science teacher, a park chaplain, a supervisor in industry settings and now as a grandmother and an "entrepreneur" running a business /ministry off of the James River.

God has gifted her with a teaching Spirit that she hopes comes across not only in word but in deed.

Welcome aboard April Lynne, we know God is going to do great things through you!

Dating Chronicles: What Do You Bring to the Table?

By -

After being married for 20 years, getting divorced, entering in and out of the dating world for the last 4 years and meeting so many different people along this journey... I have to confess - My curiosity has gotten the better of me. I've heard this question over and over again and I just need to know! Is - "What do you bring to the table?"  currently a first date, second date or third date conversation? Like do you really interview your potential match with this question?  I was young when I got married and we both brought the same thing to the table. Nothing. Unless you count similar upbringings, equal morals and values. Financially we had nothing. No real estate, no stocks, no 401K... Nothing! However I am well aware that dating now versus 25 years ago is completely different. I am constantly being reminded by those around me of my ancient way of thinking. So - in order to further educate myself and bring my caveman thoughts up to the 21st century, I decided to bring ...

Coming Out of the Dark

Inhale... exhale.... inhale.... exhale - This is the current theme of my life. I'm taking it d ay by day and breath by breath. It's been long enough since my divorce, that I probably shouldn't reference it anymore... however there is not a set time on trauma recovery. I have healed (mostly), my ex and I are in a good place, my kids are doing amazing and I'm moving forward with my life. The most difficult thing that I face now - is myself. When I look in the mirror, I see the demons that I've allowed to speak to me for the last almost 4 years, and they are ugly. They say ugly things, try to get me to do ugly things - and - full transparency, some days they win. Throughout this long unexpected journey, I'd like to say, I did not lose my faith but I did take a path that went completely opposite of the one God had laid out so perfectly for me. As my story continues I am finding that the winding roads of what has felt like a never ending detour are leading me back t...

Lessons Learned: You Can't Change Anyone Except Yourself

Are you an eternal optimist? I am. So much so... I've been told that it's annoying... I can't help it though - I'm a hopeless romantic, glass always full, you can do it, don't give up kind of woman.  This blessed personality is a curse as much as it is a gift. The blessing is obvious. I see the good in people. I see the diamond in the rough. I see what can be instead of what is. I wear rose colored glasses and rarely take them off. God loves us and all things work together for our good according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) This is my motto and how I do life. The curse. You can't change others and make them put on the rose colored glasses. You can't help those that don't want to help themselves. You can't make others see the good in themselves that you see in them and you certainly can't convince them that their behavior is destructive and harmful to themselves and others.  This has been one of the hardest things for me to learn. As someone that...
