As we talked, we began recognizing similar behavioural patterns and habits in our lives - habits that needed closer attention.These were habits I witnessed in my mom as a young child, habits I hated, and now they were a part of me. How hypocritical of me! That conversation truly opened my eyes. I started examining my life carefully and noticed behaviours that followed me from...]]></description><link>https://thetruthfuljourney.wixsite.com/website/post/the-devious-twins</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ed13b540a0465aa6c58174</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 19:23:54 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Debbie Frederick</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[God, I Really Need To Go!!]]></title><description><![CDATA[This story may sound humorous to you, however, at the time it certainly wasn’t a laughing matter! *** In the mornings before leaving for my walk, I always make sure to use the bathroom, but one morning I thought to myself, I can wait until I get back from my hour walk , or so I thought. I headed out around 6:30 a.m., just before my daughter left for work, and about ten minutes into my walk, I suddenly realized I really needed to use the bathroom. At that point, I was too far from home to turn...]]></description><link>https://thetruthfuljourney.wixsite.com/website/post/god-i-really-need-to-go</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69becfaf4d56f917b021f334</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Mar 2026 17:05:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Debbie Frederick</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Whom Does Your Confidence Lies?]]></title><description><![CDATA[As a little girl, I remember the excitement that filled my heart whenever our parents took us to the countryside to visit our grandmother. Those visits felt rare and precious, almost like a small celebration, because we didn’t get to see her often. The long journey was always worth it; Grannie was always waiting. One particular Sunday remains vivid in my memory because instead of spending the day at her home, we went to her workplace. She worked as a domestic maid for the priest in her...]]></description><link>https://thetruthfuljourney.wixsite.com/website/post/in-whom-does-your-confidence-lise</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6989397a224842e16d385ae2</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2026 01:36:24 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Debbie Frederick</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saying It As It Is!]]></title><description><![CDATA[While driving a few days ago, I was listening to a program on the radio and the conversation centered around the way we live as christians. A few minutes into the program, the speaker quoted one of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous sayings: “ I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”  Ouch! Why would he make such a statement? “I like your Christ, I do not like your christians. Your christians are so unlike your Christ.” My inquiring mind led me to do...]]></description><link>https://thetruthfuljourney.wixsite.com/website/post/saying-it-as-it-is</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6936fc3693c302270320c903</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2025 16:29:08 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Debbie Frederick</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Conflict Spills Out.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Sometimes what we see in others  is a quiet reflection of what God once healed in us It had been a long day at work and I was looking forward to a quiet, relaxing evening at home with my family. As I turned the corner and approached our driveway, something unusual caught my eye -  clothes and shoes were being tossed out of my neighbor’s front door and onto their driveway. I was stunned. What in the world is going on? I quickly opened the garage door, drove in and closed it behind me. Then I...]]></description><link>https://thetruthfuljourney.wixsite.com/website/post/when-conflict-spills-out</link><guid isPermaLink="false">691128422d7e1116eb74e811</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Nov 2025 23:54:54 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Debbie Frederick</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[I’m Not Impressed!!]]></title><description><![CDATA[There are moments on this journey of faith when God uses the simplest things to teach me deeper truths.        Recently, I caught myself thinking about how much I know about certain celebrities, public figures and even ministry leaders. If you were to ask me about them, I could probably tell you quite a bit. I might even know where they live, who they’re married to, or if they have children.

You should never assume!"  He then asked if I knew what happens when we assume. I told him I didn't. He said, “you’ll make an Ass between U and Me.” When he explained it to me, I was shocked for two reasons. First, he was a pastor, and I couldn't believe he was saying that! Second, what he said was a real eye-opener.
