Daily Walking with God
No more "funk" for me!
I’ve missed journaling! Today when I read about John and Peter standing up for God and speaking eloquently with the Holy Spirit guiding them, I was encouraged. (Acts 4:1-22) Not only was I encouraged, but reminded how when we don’t know what to say, God does it for...
God's Hand was on her…
(After a busy day, I realized that I hadn't posted anything. I read the scriptures and all was good, but I just didn't feel God pressing me to journal about any of the verses from today. This is a little something I wrote a couple of nights after my mother-in-law's...
Happiness…
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” If you haven’t, I’m not sure where you’ve been, but just “google” it and you’ll see tons of sites appear. I got a good grin when someone asked, “Who said…..?” The reply given was, “a...
Comfort and Peace Through Birds
This journaling has now gone to the birds! I believe that God uses His creations to comfort us and bring us peace and fond memories. Lately, for me, it's about "the birds". When you read back to the June 11 posting you see how the turkeys gobbled in "Grandmama's...
How to stay out of trouble:
Proverbs 16:6-7, "Faithful love and loyalty will remove your guilt. Respect The Lord, and you will stay far away from evil. When people live to please The Lord, even their enemies will be at peace with them." How can you stay out of trouble? One thing you can do is...
Our plan/His plan
"God has a plan for everything. In His plan, the wicked will be destroyed."Proverbs 16:4 When I read this verse I had to pause and think of how wicked our world is. Now don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good going on in our world, but it seems that each day we...
God Speaking Through You
“People might plan what they want to say, but it is the Lord who gives them the right words.” Proverbs 16:1 People were so surprised that my husband, Tim, got up to speak at his mother’s funeral. Frankly, he was too. He had not planned on it, but God did. That day...
"la-la-la-la-la-la"…Learn!
Have you ever put your fingers in your ears and went “la,la,la,la,la,…”? Or you are in the car, someone is telling you something, and you turn the music up? What about you’ve just plain ole turned deaf’s ear someone’s way, stood there, and just shook your head in...
Happy Daddy Day!
"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." -- Billy Graham I am a blest girl! I have four dad’s in my life: George (my daddy), Wayne (my father-in-law), Carol (my step-dad), and God (my...
His Presence
God sometimes makes Himself known in situations when you aren’t expecting it. When this happens, a jolt of reality eventually sets in. The other day I was driving down the road, listening to a Christian radio station, and His presence just hit me. Mercy Me’s song,...
Conquer the world….Done!
Helloooo! Have you read John 16:33? Well, check this out: “I have told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have troubles. But be brave! I have defeated the world!” Okay, we’ve heard it before…Yes! We will have troubles in this...
I Love, Love, Love you!
One thing you knew for sure before my mother-in-law passed away is that she loved you. I told Tim that I heard his mother say “I love you” more in the past four months than one would normally hear in a year. And when she told you her feelings, it wasn’t just once,...
