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
Relinquish yourself from being your own boss.
“I desire to do Your will, my God; Your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8 This verse is one that I turn into a prayer each day for myself and my family. I pray that we will each have the desire to do God’s will and not our own. Oh, man, have I so gone down the path...
We are all broken.
Dear Broken One,… Did you think I was writing a letter to you? Oh, but I am. Simple Scenario: This past weekend my “Simple Blessings” bracelet (by Silpada), that I haven’t taken off my wrist in three years, finally broke. Over the past few months I had noticed how the...
No Peace or Know Peace
This was the scene Tim and I experience the first day-and-a-half of our little get-a-way weekend: News vans cars were parked outside of our rental home. There was about a two block width area blocked off the beach with one of those “Police Line - Do Not Cross” tape...
God will do what He says He will do.
Journal writing about Jeremiah 29:11 is nothing new for me. I searched and discovered I’ve written about those God-breathed words about seventeen times (Click here). I appreciate how God reveals something different to me when I read the same verse I’ve read over and...
Who's The Boss?
“My son, listen to your father when he corrects you, and don’t ignore what your mother teaches you. 9 What you learn from your parents will bring you honor and respect, like a crown or a gold medal.” Proverbs 1:8-9 Can I get an “Amen, Praise the Lord. Absolutely”? Not...
The Giddy Groom
My husband thinks I’m crazy, but I absolutely love weddings! Every time I hear the vows being said, I say them to myself as a reminder of my covenant with my man. Over the past three weekends, I’ve attended two glorious weddings. My nephew, Luke, married his love,...
Learn from Other's Mistakes
Before you even start reading, please know that I’m by no means casting any stones. I’m a work in progress. I just reveal what God reveals to me. “Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life. You can make many plans, but the...
Take Your Bible with You!
Challenge on! Okay, so it may not be a challenge to really bring your bible to school or work, but sometimes being bold to leave it out and share it is. Yesterday the youth pastor at my church, Ricky Lindsey, posted on social media that October 8th is National Bring...
God is my God, and I am His
“O God, you are my God…” Psalm 63:1 Before I could even continue with the rest of verse one from Psalm sixty-three, I had to stop and just say “Thank you, Lord, Jesus, my Savior, Amen!” (A little happy dance was taking place right there.) Isn’t it wonderful to know...
The Sure Thing
“Depend on God and keep at it because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.” Isaiah 26:4 When I read the words in this verse, “a sure thing”, my mind clicked back to a movie I saw back in 1985 with the same title, “A Sure Thing”. So I when on You Tube to watch the...
Choose to Live Beautifully
I want to address something that was on my mind while driving home from work. I was counting my blessings and thinking about the different “passer-by-comments” that I’ve heard from others, whether recently or in the past. Comments like, “Looks like you had a great...
A Beautiful Sight
The other day I saw what I believe to be one of the most beautiful sights I’d ever seen. My heart was overflowing with love. A grateful grin came across my face and a lump in my throat. I saw something that I pray the women will have the pleasure in seeing and/or even...
