I am a blessed girl! God uses everyday situations in my life to teach me about Him and His love. God’s Word is alive and active!

Become a Christian
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
Someone else is watching you…
On July 31, 2013 we read 2 Chronicles 16:9 ("Does He see you?") “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” In today’s scripture reading we see that God isn’t the only one keeping His eye on us. ...
Lessons from Duck Dynasty
I have had a Duck Dynasty kind of day. No, I didn’t sit and watch old episodes on tv. But I did sit and watch a ton of videos on the computer. When I read the scriptures this morning, they were all so good I just didn’t know what to write for my journaling. But...
Praying for the missionaries.
Many believers in Christ just don’t feel the calling to go out, and I mean way out, to share the Good News of God with others. That’s okay! When you are a Christian, you have a responsibility to share Christ with others. It may be in your workplace, neighbor, city,...
How is your walk?
Last week a precious friend, whom I appreciate her walk in Christ, was walking towards me in the hallway at school. As she passed she said, “I have a devotion for you.” I asked with excitement, “What is it?” She replied, “I could tell by your walk that it was...
Dress to impress…who?
Summertime is over and now it’s time to figure out “What in the world do I wear today?” The week before school started my daughter went clothes shopping with a friend. With the “school dress code” in mind, Holly had to make sure she chose wisely. She’s limited on...
Revenge!
Don’t say, “I will get even for this wrong.” Wait for the Lord to handle the matter. Proverbs 20:22 is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. We want revenge for those who do us wrong. You see it in the media all the time. People take matter into their own hands. ...
Work Hard & Appreciate What You Have
If you see or hear a slogan, a gimmick, that seems too good to be true in the earning money department, then you are right in second guessing. “Get rich quick!” “Money. Money. Money.” “Earn $10k(+) in one week.” (This is on a cardboard sign on side of the road. ...
Free Pedicure!
Who knew that I didn’t have to pay for a pedicure in order to have beautiful feet? I remember that one of the first bible verses that my pastor told me to memorize when I became a Christian was Romans 10:13. For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be...
Friend issues… Bullies…you're not alone.
Oh me, oh my. The school year is about to begin. I teach middle school. That means….get ready for the “friend drama” and bullies. I just want you young folks to prepare yourselves (especially girls) for this phase in your lives. In Proverbs 20:6 it says, “You...
I'm not standing alone.
Woohoo! I am so grateful that I am a Christian! Why? Oh there are many reasons, but for now I’m appreciative that when life gets hard, and it does, I’ve got team captains that stand in the gap for me. When I read Romans 8:26-9:5 there were so many great points I...
Why do I do the things I do?
Why do we do the things we do? Three illustrations ran through my mind when I read Romans 7:14-25: The title, “That’s a lot of do-do”. (Cheesy? Yes, but it presented itself that way when reading the words. A form of the word “do” is mentioned about 23 times in...
Stop and Praise
Psalm 96:1-9 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole world sing to the Lord! 2 Sing to the Lord and praise his name! Tell the good news every day about how he saves us! 3 Tell all the nations how wonderful he is! Tell people everywhere...
