Many Christians give off the persona as though they are joyful and happy all the time – let’s be real, okay? That’s now how it REALLY is in this walk with Christ. As you can probably tell by my writings, I am not a “fake” person. Why? Because I simply don’t see the point in […]
What an amazing God who loved us enough to bless us with free-will… The ability to choose… What a sacrificial gift to bestow upon those He created in His own image, already knowing that in doing so we would cause Him great pain in choosing to disobey Him… God could have created us with a […]
When I made the decision to make Jesus my Savior, Lord over my life I truly had NO idea that that decision would not only be the MOST important decision I would EVER make, but I also had no idea how true Galatians 2:20 is: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer […]
Imagine this – you are a follower of Christ; you have left everything to follow Him. You have seen Him perform miracles and have personally felt His love. Your only desire is to sit at his feet as Mary (Martha’s sister did) and listen to Him teach. Your only desire is to follow Him ALL […]
I cannot imagine what it must have been like for those that loved Jesus to see Him hanging from that cross. As a mother, I cannot imagine Mary’s anguish. As a friend and as a follower, it must have been excruciating not being able to do anything to help Him. Knowing that He did NOT […]
We sometimes look at the Bible and forget that every person written IN the Word of God were living and breathing people – just like you and I. THEY WERE REAL. They were not characters in a book of fiction, they were people spoken about FOR A TIME SUCH AS THIS. God has placed US […]
What are you speaking over your life or the lives of your family? You can in ignorance speak curses over your family by your words. Speak blessings over your family, not curses! Watch what you say! It is with Words that God created the Heaven and the earth, take a look at the book of […]
I’ve been thinking about how they must have felt on the Titanic – knowing the ship had hit an iceberg and was sinking… Desperate, scared, shocked, knowing that the situation they were in was like nothing they’d expected to confront… When you are in Christ it’s not that you are immune to fear it’s that […]
Jesus shared the following parable, one that stands out in my head and is very prevalent for today. Matthew 13:1-9: “A farmer went out to plant his seed. He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasn’t […]
This past autumn, I was dealing with an unexpected family emergency when the first frost hit. My beautiful outside plants that I had very lovingly and carefully cared for became victimized, carefully and as quickly as I could I brought one particular plant in that I thought perhaps I could save, but the next day […]
As I prayed this morning for a word to write, I asked Holy Spirit, “what would you have me write this morning?” There has been such a spirit of heaviness with all that is going on in this world and I wanted a fresh new Word from Him. This is what He said: “Ask them, […]
