Heaviness is a Spirit – Isn’t it Time You Removed it?

Are you downhearted? Discouraged? Depressed? Forlorn? Sad?  It could be that what you are experiencing is “a heaviness of spirit.”  Did you know that is a spirit?  The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:12: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this […]

You Get to Choose, the Choice Has ALWAYS Been Yours!

You are precious to God. You matter.  You were created with a purpose.  You were created with gifts. God made you special. Even if you are not feeling that way right now, even as you read these words. Listen and I pray you hear Holy Spirit speaking through these words – there is NOTHING worse […]

You are NOT an Ugly Duckling!

God loves you so much… YOU were created IN LOVE, it doesn’t matter how your conception occurred – God created you!  And He created you with a purpose in mind!  He created you with specific gifts that make you special! There is only ONE you!  You ARE special!  Your job is to discover just what […]

Are You Out of Order?

The things that matter to you define how you try and live right? Proverbs 23:7 says: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”. So, how you think defines how you live… Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “Belief” in the three ways listed below: “Something that is accepted, considered to be true, or held as […]

Walking in Obedience and Learning to Discern – For Ourselves.

There is something crucial to our total well-being that God wants those of us who are striving to walk in accordance with His calling our lives to remember to do, and that is to allow Holy Spirit to replenish us… Listen, there truly is NO greater joy and satisfaction than walking in the calling that […]

Are You Familiar with the God Who Laughs?

We are so wrong when we view God as a “stoic, disciplinary, shaking His finger at us” kind of God… YES God IS Holy and we should treat Him with the honor and respect He deserves as our Creator.  But when we focus on the image of a God that seems “unreachable” or “unloving” or […]

Have You (in Christ) Done all You Can?

Today I woke up and as I sat down at my computer, after praying, my mind went blank… I didn’t have a Word to share or a notion as to what I should write.  And then I thought about the scripture, the last part of Ephesians 6:13 that says: “…and when you have done all, […]

The Dandelion

The wind carried the little seed far from its original origin, gently lowering it exactly where it wanted it to be, soil in between the crack of a driveway in front of a single-family home. Cold, the seed snuggled deeper within the soil looking for the warmth the soil provided and settled as deeply in […]

Are You Closing This Year with Fear OR with Faith?

New Year’s Eve is soon approaching, it is a time that should I allow it, feels me with unease and anxiety – which are two things that are NOT of God… I guess I always feel that way because it causes me to look back on the year that is ending, with all that has […]

You are NOT Alone

Are you in a situation where you feel as though no one understands you? As though you are at a standstill in your life with no idea how to move forward?  Do you feel alone in a room crowded with people? That no one “gets” you?  Are you at a point in your life where […]

God’s Christmas Gift to You – Have You Received and Opened it Yet?

I did not grow up in a Christian home, both of my parents did not attend church, I did not know anything in the Bible other than the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (from a picture filled Children’s Bible).  God was not “personal” to me, He was the BIG, pie-in-the-sky […]

Don’t Lose Focus!!!

Have you ever had a “Job” experience?  You know, a time in your walk where if you were walking in accordance with your flesh the words you *might* feel like uttering are nothing in line with how the Bible tells you to respond? 😉 Come on, I’m being honest!  Times where you know that ol’ […]
