For those who knew our Daddy.. For those who didn't.. Below is WHO HE WAS and a little of what we (his children) wanted to share about him. How do we even put into words, the depth of love we have for a man that modeled unconditional love and was the picture of love? We …
Quit Believing Lies
Let me just jump right on in and say: WE HAVE to QUIT believing the LIES that WE tell ourselves! Oh, you don't lie to yourself? Really? You just lied. "I'm NOT GOOD ENOUGH". "They'll think I'm stupid." "UNWORTHY" "I'm just a ..... (you fill in the blank.)" "There's already a book, blog, …

I Hear You God
I recently spoke at a "Girl's Night Out" event that was held at Redland Baptist. Not because I am a "speaker", but because of a youth director's obedience to God and because I knew that when she asked me to do this that it was definitely God wanting me to. Like I said, I am …

Knock Knock
During my morning Bible study/quiet time, I read and soaked on Revelation 3:20. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. ~ Revelation 3:20 Let me give you a little background on this …

In The Broken Places
When I was a little girl, I loved to make grilled cheese sandwiches. The only problem was, when I opened the cheese and removed it from the plastic it would sometimes break. Well, for some reason, I would throw the cheese away if it broke. I suppose I thought that it wasn’t any good if it was broken. 🙂
My parents were youth directors at one time and we regularly had teens at the house. One was in the kitchen when I was throwing away my “no good” cheese, and couldn’t believe what I was doing. My mom had to explain to me that the cheese was okay. Being broken, didn’t make it “no good”. Being broken, didn’t make it unusable.
This leads me to share with you: Just because we may be broken or defective, doesn’t mean that we are unable to be used by God.

Saying NO to the Good Things
I’m a work in progress. Mostly, in progress. 🙂
Philippians 1:6 (NIV) ~ being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
For the past several months I have been learning to say “NO” without feeling guilty.
That can be hard for a person who doesn’t want to hurt others feelings. Very hard.
It can be very difficult to change patterns of behavior that you have had for most of your life. That “people pleasing” gene.
I’ve learned that I have to say “NO” to things that are good…in order to say “YES” to the things that should be my priorities. To obey GOD…and aim to please HIM first.
Like I said before, I’m a work IN PROGRESS. I still fail miserably at times.
At first, changes can cause feathers to ruffle…

New Year New Me
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. …

Just Passing Through
One year ago today, Granny Shiver joined the love of her life and others in Heaven.. It’s only fitting to share this post again.. In Her Memory..
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psalms 34:18 NLT)
There are things in this world that happen, that I’ll never understand. I won’t claim to understand.
This I know, My Savior.. My Redeemer, is GOOD.
The truth is that this world that we live in is broken and sinful. So much so, that God sent His one and Only Son, Jesus… Immanuel.. To save us.
John 3:16,17 ~ “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
Jesus means, The Lord Saves.
Immanuel means, God With Us.
When trials come.. And they will…
When circumstances are sometimes awful.. And that’s a guarantee…
