Daily Walking with God
Motivational Monday: Be clean on the inside
When I rewatched this video, I sound like a “hot mess”. The thoughts in my head were running rampant, but a few points to remember are: No one is perfect...follow The Perfect One, Jesus! Get your inner self washed by the blood of Christ. Please don’t judge, that God’s...
Two thumbs way up…Breakthrough

You are just passing THROUGH your valley
“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14 NLT We all have “stuff” that we are going or will go through. That’s the key word...through. I want to share some statements and bible verses with you that came from the Jennifer Rothschild bible...
Convicted to Live Life to its Fullest

How are you reflecting the Shepherd?
When I read this sentence in Jennifer Rothschild’s bible study on Psalm 23, it made me think of a phrase I say often with my children, and in various journal entires here. My saying is, “Remember who you are and Whose you are.” Jennifer’s statement, “The condition...
Take the right path and bloom and grow

Hippity Hoppity Easter Time!
Yes! Easter is right around the corner. That means colorful eggs, bunnies, pretty new dresses and maybe even a hat, and...mmmm...candy…especially Robin Eggs! By the way, when I went to pour those candies into the jar, they just wouldn’t all fit. Fiddlesticks. I...
