Daily Walking with God
Stop, Look, and Listen
Stop. Look. Listen. I’m sure you’ve heard these words since you were a little child. Your parents would remind you of this before you crossed the street. You heard that you are to do this before crossing a railroad track (especially if you rode a school bus). You...
Being a parent isn’t for sissies!
Being a parent isn’t for sissies! No matter the stage your child is in, you need to remember that “This too shall pass.” I’ve said this quite often in my short 19 years of being a parent. But this stage has me on my knees more than anything. With three children...
God-fearing Women
Every day I am surrounded by women who are strong, loving, compassionate, and most importantly ladies who fear the Lord. In Proverbs 31:30we read “…but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised.” When I read this verse my thoughts went to my mom, my...
God ain't there…I ain't going.
God said, “My presence will go with you. I’ll see the journey to the end.” Moses said, “If your presence doesn’t take the lead here, call this trip off right now.” Exodus 33:14-15 Amen! I have discovered in life that if God’s not going there, I don’t want to go. ...
A message from my "Everlasting Mom"
I woke up this morning thinking about my mom, me as a mother, all the motherly-influences I am blessed with in my life, and my late mother-in-law. Tears began to come as I pondered on all the wonderful memories I have with Jany. There were tears of fondness,...
Make the most of every opportunity.
A little reminder... I pray many blessings and much joy for you! Have a wonderful day. – Stephanie
Keep Looking Up
“So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 I must confess…when I keep my focus on...
From the Broken Road to the Blue Sky
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalm 43:5 I just came back from a prayer walk. My heart has been heavy with prayer requests and my own attitude on various...
A verse or two to help you through…
“Be happy because of the hope you have. Be patient when you have troubles. Pray all the time.”Romans 12:12 I don’t know what you may be going through, or have gone through, or what you will go through, but I know this verse helps me. I have hope. Hope in the fact that...
Finding the Humor in Difficulty
Are you like me when you watch a movie where the couple wakes up the next morning, roll over with a smile, and gives their spouse (you’d hope they’re their spouse, but most likely not) a big wet kiss, and I say to myself, “Ugh, go brush your teeth!” Morning...
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are? Many people have the attitude that they are owed something when they haven’t done anything or take full advantage of their status no matter the cost. I’m sure we’ve each had our moments of “I’m owed” attitude, but notice those mentioned are...
What Matters?
It doesn’t matter your occupation or seniority. Your financial status doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you are alone or in a crowd. Your stature just doesn’t matter. JESUS KNOWS YOUR NAME AND WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU. It doesn’t matter what people think of...
