Walking with God

I needed this reminder.

I needed this reminder.

What a slacker! I’m talking about myself. The first thing each morning, I read the daily bible verse that I receive on an app on my phone. Most days I even read more than the presented verse and am blessed by God’s words. Then, I open my email inbox to read the...

Are you Superstitious?

Are you Superstitious?

Are you superstitious? Tonight (Wednesday the 22nd of June) the Tampa Bay Lightning are playing game four in the Stanley Cup Finals. Tim and I were at the last home game, and they won, so we should go again to bring them luck. And wear the same outfit. Oh, and eat the...

The Golden Rule

The Golden Rule

In a conversation regarding the Golden Rule, a person told me their rule, “I treat people the way they treat me…I match people’s energy.” Yikes and ouch. God has a strong opinion on how we are to treat others, even when…especially when, our energy doesn’t match. The...

Where are your priorities and perspective? Roman 8:1-4

Where are your priorities and perspective? Roman 8:1-4

I could only read four verses today before I was just overcome with gratefulness and indebtedness to Christ. Netflix can wait, God can wait too, but I choose to follow Him.  He truly fills my soul. I want to encourage you to choose wisely…perspective of the world or...

This higher the hair, the closer to God: Romans 7:14-25

This higher the hair, the closer to God: Romans 7:14-25

Struggling with sin? I’m pretty confident to say that the answer to this question is “Yes”. Remember that although there is a war raging within your mind, which is the power of sin, there is a greater power that can dominate…the power of the Holy Spirit. When you...

Welcome to our Sunshine State: Seek to understand

Welcome to our Sunshine State: Seek to understand

I feel like the following is a PSA for newbies to Florida and our beaches. In the last journal entry, I shared Romans 7:7-13. In verse 9 it mentions, “At one time I lived without understanding the law…” In the margin of my bible I had written “You know what you know....

God’s law reveals our sin: Romans 7:7-13

God’s law reveals our sin: Romans 7:7-13

The older I get the more unwanted hair appear where I really don't care to have them, and most of the time I don’t even realize they are there. It’s not until I look into a magnified mirror that I gasped with a “what the heck” or “oh no” comment to myself. Why didn’t...

Is this Heaven?

Is this Heaven?

Will heaven look like this? My heart was pounding with so much joy! The scene was one filled with family, peace, newness, exploration, calmness, and love. On my early morning walk, the beach wasn't bombarded with beach goers, yet. There was a storm the night before,...

Live in freedom: Romans 7:1-6

Live in freedom: Romans 7:1-6

In the verses read today, the example of marriage is used. So, how could I  not use this photo of my man. Right now, I pray for your earthly marriage, or the marriage-to-be in your life, that it is centered around Jesus Christ. If you are still single, don’t settle....

Get right (Romans 6:15-23)

I hope you enjoyed the video reading of Romans 6:15-23, and the little comments and stories I intertwined: https://youtu.be/R3iPwp6XF1Y You choose…a slave to sin or slave to righteous living? Slave to sin:  Leads to death ( a spiritual death) Impurity Lawlessness...

Koinonia…Get it.

Koinonia…Get it.

Can you imagine not gathering with your family or friends or church group? Wait! Of course you can. We just survived a world pandemic where many restrictions were put on all. So…sure…imagining not getting together with others is very fresh in your mind. You may even...

You don’t want to miss the call.

You don’t want to miss the call.

When my husband went on a trip six time zones away, I noticed that when it was around the time that he were to be calling me, I had my phone on or near me at all times, prepared to answer when Tim called. I didn’t want to miss a call. One afternoon, while I was...
