In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? It is as simple as spelling the word faith out on each finger.
Daily Walking with God
What/Who do you need?
What do you need? Or better yet, who do you need? Do you need others to make you feel a certain way? Recently a teenage girl told me about how she is just coming out of a relationship. She didn’t realize how much she enjoyed feeling “needed” by someone, and that she...
Do your BEST!
“Do your best, prepare for the worst— then trust God to bring victory” Proverbs 21:31 That’s it. That’s what you need to do. Do your best! Here are some verses to encourage you to not slack off: “In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as...
There is hope.
Have you ever been cheated on in a business or personal relationship? Can you often read something in the media and wonder if it is really true or not? Have you ever been treated unfairly, bullied, or been the one doing wrong? Well, unfortunately, that’s what happens...
"I love you"
There are times when I just don’t know what to say to God, so I simply just say, “I love you, Lord!” When I say those four little words a few of things happen. Either: my mind opens up with all the blessings that God has given to me; my thoughts rush with what trial...
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
My heart was smiling from atrium to atrium this past weekend. You see, my Holly was in a pageant. Our small town of Plant City is known as the “Winter Strawberry Capitol of the World”. One way we celebrate the start of our annual festival is the selection of a...
Let love be in the air.
When you were young did you say the prayer, “God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen”? It would be a prayer I’d say daily when I was a little girl. Even though it was said as a rote prayer, I did understand its meaning, and I grew to believe...
Timing
The other morning I was in my daughter’s room around 6:50 saying my routine thing, “Good morning, Beautiful.” I decided to climb in her comfy bed and lie there for a bit. I cracked up when her alarm went off. I saw the time that she sets her alarm for each morning....
How to protect yourself:
Boy oh boy can (and does) Satan love to wreak havoc in our lives. Can I get an "Amen"? I have had two conversations lately when it is obvious that Satan is grinning from ear to ear. One friend has a loved one where their body is being attacked. Symptoms are there...
"What's in it for me?"
I have had my share of humble pie. And FYI…it doesn’t taste very good at all. In James 4:10 we read, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” Just yesterday my pastor gave a definition to the word humility. He said, “Humility is a humble...
A Blessed Woman…my momma.
What happened in 1941? Was it WW II, Joe Louis dominated for heavyweight boxing titles, Orson Welles directed and starred in “Citizen Kane”, Bob Hope performed his first USO show, Joe DiMaggio broke hitting streaks and was named AL MVP, Walt Disney released the...
How can I pray for you today?
Those of you that know me know that you can count on me to pray for you and yours. I pray because I sure need it, and plus…Jesus did, and I believe He is a pretty awesome guy to follow His ways. Well, last week I saw a young lady, a college student, who is the...
Good for the soul.
This evening I came home feeling defeated. I knew I had to get back to work while at home, but I also knew that I had to have my mind set in peace and confidence in God first. So before I began “getting back to work after being at work all day”, I rested in God’s...
