Walking with God
What's the plan?
Most people know the Bible verse Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." But keep on reading the following verse: "You will call to Me and come and pray to...
Praying on this Presidents' Day
Today is Presidents' Day. It is a day set aside to honor our first president's, George Washington, birthday. It is only fitting for us to observe a quote by President Washington, "It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." It is my prayer...
Let Your Light Shine
"Light and happiness shine on those who want to do right." Psalm 97:11 I pray that you will let your light shine for Jesus, and may others see that light in you. When you have turned your dimmer to brightness in and for Christ, you will find joy...complete joy. You...
Is your word true?
For the word of the LORD is right and true; He is faithful in all He does. Psalm 33:4 Can this be said of your word? Seriously? Is your speech bathed in honorability and accuracy? What about your faithfulness? Will folks say that you are unwavering and true-blue?...
God is into YOU!
Last night I was praying about an upcoming event. I was trying to walk through every aspect of the situation and give it all to God. A couple of sentences later, I was like , "Oh, I forgot about this detail, Lord, but I know You've already thought of every...
Y'all…LOVE
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:5 If there is any verse that I say EVERYDAY, it's this one! I pray it for each member of family daily. Many times I've told my children to do what this verse...
Prayer…it works!
Last night I found myself praying for my children and asking for qualities of joy, compassion, integrity, etc., tailoring each request for a specific child. In the midst of my prayer I inquired, "God, is that too much to ask?" And then I quickly heard Him whisper in...
It's a new day…New Mercies!
"One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Ephesians 4:6 I'm am just a tool for my Carpenter...clay for The Potter...a sheep for my Shepherd. Each day I pray for God to speak to me and through me. Years ago I thought it was...
One Step at a Time
"The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives." Psalm 37:23 This photo may not seem like much to you, but for me it is HUGE. Every since I broke my tibia and fibula and dislocated my ankle, the day before Thanksgiving, I've...
God is at work, even when you can't see it.
God is doing amazing things, even if you can’t see them. I have witnessed meteor showers before, and they are spectacular! Last night Tim informed me that another meteor shower, “The Geminids”, were occurring. I set my alarm for earlier than normal, rose out of bed,...
I am "Being Still"!!
Be still and know… I am, God, I am, but… If you haven’t heard, I had broken my tibia and fibula and dislocated my ankle the day before Thanksgiving. I am so blessed!! Blessed for brokenness? Well…yes…of course…in various ways. For this current blessedness, I am...
"Crowned One"
The Lord Himself will give you the sign, Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call Him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). Isaiah 7:14 What does your name mean? I grew up being reminded that my name means “crowned one”. I...
