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! A verse that I may have read last year, last week, or even yesterday, may have a new meaning to me depending on the season of life I’m in. This isn’t just true for me, but for you too.

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
In need of grace, and giving grace:
Relationships are like weather we had in Florida the last week of October 2017. In my hometown, we went from the lowest temperatures being in the low 40s to 60s, to the highs ranging from the 60s to 80s. One night you would have a fire blazing in the firepit or...
Staying Strong Through Devastation
It appears that the phrase, “Go big or go home” is being applied to the evilness that continues to occur in our country. 2017 Las Vegas shooting…worst mass shooting in current US history. 2017 New York…greatest number of lives lost due to being ran over. 2017...
Waiting for the results…
Sigh…Just breathe…Smile…Cry…Relief…Praise the Lord! That was how I felt last week when I received the news. Not long ago, I had received a postcard in the mail reminding me that it is that time of year to schedule my appointment. I called the hospital, made the...
Modest is Hottest
Let the Holiday Season begin! My church has an event each year for the ladies called Holiday Indulgence. Kay Morris, our women’s ministry leader, and her team create a festive atmosphere to start our holiday season off, with a reminder of the reason for the...
The Scariest Deceiver of All…
I remember, when I was growing up, my mom always produced the most creative and spooky “haunted house” at our elementary school’s annual fall festival. Fake smoke sometimes filled the air, and caskets had volunteers being raised at the appropriate time to casually...

What will I be when I grow up?
When children are at a very early age, they talk about what they want to be in life. Now, it seems that students practically must declare their line of study for college while in middle school. I remember changing my major three times my first year of college, and my...
Desires
Lately, I think my energy level is Janus-faced. I’m beaming with liveliness one minute, then exhausted and needing a power-nap the next. I believe I resolved today’s levels of bi-polar energy: When I read scripture, my heart was giddy and the feeling of conquering the...
Just Wait
Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 When I read this morning’s scripture, I smiled, even giggled, and said, “Yes, Lord.” I give situations to the Lord, often keep praying over-and-over for His will to be...
Just Pray
I’m not even sure what to write at this time. My thoughts, over the past couple of weeks, seem too deep and transparent for them to be penned on a page. Yet, in this time of quietness, I feel compelled to urge you to pray. C.H. Spurgeon once said, “True prayer is...
Pout or Pray?
On the way to taking Cole to school, the sky was stunning, just absolutely stunning. The drive was peaceful, and then…it happened. This past weekend, and this morning, you would think that our small town is having a massive festival or concert. The interstate, and...
This…made me smile
Appreciate the simplicity of life. You know the phrase “Stop and smell the roses”. Well, the past couple of days, this has been the mentality that the Lord has pressed upon me. A vine of chickweed (I’ll just say a precious wild daisy) captured my attention, as it was...
