Are you a God's Girl or God's Man?

Oh my! As soon as I read today’s scripture in Galatians 2, I closed my eyes, threw my head back, and started singing (in my scratchy, sore throat voice) the song that mimics verses 20 and 21.  Hear, listen: ...

Who are you trying to impress?

Do you worry about how you look?  Is your hair in style, should you wear makeup or not & what kind, or are your clothes the “in” brand? What about the vehicle you drive?  Does it matter what color it is, how big the tires are, or how fast it will go? Do you often...

Just three things to say:

  I just want to say three points after reading today’s scriptures: Praise God that He is a gracious and compassionate Lord! I think back at the various times in my life when God totally showed me His graciousness and compassion.  He could have torn my tail up...

A thorn in my side

Have you ever heard the expression “_____ is like a thorn in my side.”? Your fill-in-the-blank may be a job, person, or any type of situation that is causing difficulty for you at that time. Years ago, while at the beach, Cole was running on the dock barefoot.  While...

Get your opera on…

I read Isaiah 9:6-7 today and got a little giddy and even started singing in a beautiful operatic voice with various harmonies joining me (in my mind of course) the words penned. Take a look: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be...

Work, work, work

“Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. 5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.”  Proverbs 23:4-5 Are you a workaholic?  I was just looking up statistics and information...

Think it….Act on it.

Yesterday a friend sent me a message after reading yesterday’s journaling.  Here’s our conversation: Friend:  Your posts definitely make one think… what one does with that is up to them. You have no reason to ‘feel bad’. Me:  Thanks. 🙂 They make me think...

I felt bad…Now I don't.

Sometimes when I journal something I think, “Ouch! Should I have written that?”  But then God assures me that when I pray to Him each morning for Him to speak to me and through me, that’s what He does.  It’s not me, it’s God. Much of the journaling that may convict...

"Passionately" speaking…

You want a romance and passion in your marriage?  Read and live out the book of the bible, Song of Songs.  You just might find yourself blushing when reading that book. I hear women talking negative about their man.  Putting their spouse down, possibly without even...

Growing old on the outside…

I had to laugh when I read Ecclesiastes 12:1-4 yesterday.  I copied it into my journaling notes to write about later. I read it aloud to Holly and she said, “The bible tells it like it is doesn’t it?  It doesn’t hold back.” Check this out: The Problems of Old Age...
