How quickly Christmas present becomes Christmas past… That was the realization I had as I lay on the sofa watching “A Christmas Carol” which for me, has become a Christmas tradition I made for myself years ago. It was my father’s favorite Christmas movie, and so I try and honor his memory by ending Christmas […]
Be aware of familiar spirits that niggle at you. Sometimes you don’t recognize what they are because they are the background whisperers who whisper things so quietly in your ears and have for so long that you have become desensitized to what they are. They’ve become the background noise and their job is to harass […]
What are the ingredients of you? What comes out when you are hard-pressed? Sometimes Holy Spirit allows you to go through a situation in order to show you where you are at spiritually…. When you are “hard pressed” the truth of where you are in spiritual maturity gets revealed by your response of the pressing. […]
You never know what is going on in someone’s life… We are only able to look at the outside demeanor of a person, but God looks at the heart. Can you imagine what it would be like if God gave us the ability to see others as they REALLY are? Imagine being in a room […]

Had it really been 34 years? She could still remember when she had first received her shiny new soldier’s fatigues. How she […]
You never know who Holy Spirit is going to use to minister to you… Not only the “who” of it, but the “where” of it. I’ve learned not to put God in a box. I share with you this true story with the permission of the sister it includes. Yesterday, God introduced me in the […]
The first blow caught me by surprise. I simply didn’t see it coming… The force of the blow knocked my head to the left. Another resounding blow turns my head back to the right – like an old fashion typewriter, the carriage flying furiously to the other side. Right Left Right Left Stunning me, rendering […]
Holy Spirit turned my attention this week to the story of Lot and his wife. I believe that when Holy Spirit turns your head to different scriptures, it’s for a reason and as I prayed and thought more about Lot’s wife, I believe the reason God brought it to my attention is because He wants […]
Are you listening to what God is saying to you? Once you have given your heart to Jesus, it is important to remember that in order to grow spiritually in your walk with Him, you not only need to “converse” (pray) with Him but to also listen. Sometimes this can be difficult because the spiritual […]
“In Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them” (Ps. 139:16). When it is all said and done, I will feel as though I did the best I could. I say that with certainty, mistakes and all… Oh how I wish that […]
