Daily Walking with God
Being Still
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters. Psalms 23:2 God has a way of refreshing us. Last week Hurricane Hermine decided to create a little havoc in the south. On Thursday our county canceled school due to the inclement weather. As a...
"Is anyone listening to me?"
If only you would listen to His voice today! Psalm 95:7b Do you ever feel like you are speaking and in mid-sentence you wonder or even say out loud, “Is anyone even listening to me?” Especially now with an electronic device attached to just about everyone’s hand, and...
Haters Gonna Hate
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your...
Seeking Peace
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5:9 All I can write about is from my own personal experience. I know that any time, and I mean ANY time, I am struggling with something or someone and I cry out to Jesus, His PEACE washes...
No matter the age or stage…Keep pouring God's word into them.
School has started. Jobs continue. My children are growing up. #dontblink Parents/Friends of youngins in school or young adults, I want to encourage you to do something. Some of you may do this, or something to this effect, already. Send your kiddos a little word for...
I’ve got to relax and get into a pure heart state of mind.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew 5:8 I need some help here. I’ve said before that I am by no means a theologian. Studying God’s word, desiring to know more about Him, growing more in love with Christ daily, and sharing His love? Guilty....
You are Crowned with Mercy.
“MERCY!!” was the cry we heard coming from another room. I’ll never forget the time when one of my children wasn’t feeling well. This child was not one to be graceful when regurgitating. You would have thought that someone had lit a fire in their belly each time they...
Just do the Right Thing.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew 5:6 As I am sitting here about to type my journal entry on the next Beatitude, my husband shares a video with me on some people in Rio, Brazil who are either biking,...
Be content with who you are, and more importantly Whose you are.
Confession…I am the youngest child of four, AND the ONLY girl. So, yes, I am a bit “spoiled”. I like to call that a blessing from God. Being in that God-given situation, I’ve often had more confidence in myself than warranted. The attitude of “I can do that”, still...
When we are sad…He comforts us.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 Tim and I arrived home last night from visiting some precious and lifelong family friends, when I looked ahead to see what was the next Beatitude. Wow! I knew this one was coming up, but I didn’t...
Wanna be Rich?
The next few days, I’m going to focus each day on a different Beatitude. What is a Beatitude? They are the blessings that Jesus listed in His Sermon on the Mount. First of all, do you want to be a beatified person? Of course you do! According to the Merriam-Webster...
Do you have a plan for your life?
Do you have a “plan” for your life? Maybe someone else thinks they have a “plan” for you. Making plans are great, just make sure that you are prayerful, flexible, and patient. Why? Because God has had a plan for you since before you were born. A great plan! His plan...
