Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. (Psalm 116:15 ESV) When I knew my Daddy was definitely dying, (I believe he had coded 2 or 3 times by this point) as we all surrounded him in the hospital, I sang "Jesus Loves Me" and "Zippity Doo Dah" in his …
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, …
What Are You Filling The Voids With?
As promised, today I am sharing with you all the message that I shared with the girls last weekend at the "Girls Night Out" event. Of course, this will be more of a summary of the entire message. In fact, there will be two parts to this post, and I will post Part Two tomorrow. …
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 …
Take Off The Mask
Romans 3:10 (NIV) ~ As it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one. Romans 3:23, 24 (NIV) ~ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came from Christ Jesus. There's something to be said …

Labels are for cans of food. Labels are for items of clothing. Labels are NOT for people. They shouldn't be...that is. Romans 2:3 ~ Do you suppose, O man ---- you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself ---- that you will escape the judgement of God? Hmmm. OUCH. So.... …
Need THE Doctor
~ Short And Sweet Simple Truths~ Sometimes, I'm not so "nice". Sometimes, I am grumpy. Sometimes, I am easily angered. Sometimes, I am judgemental. Sometimes, I am impatient and selfish. Sometimes, I'm a basket-case. Sometimes, I am insecure and sometimes, I am repetitive. Sometimes I'm not the type of wife, mother, or friend that I …
For the Whole World To See
One dog is sitting practically on my head. One is on my legs. The computer in my lap...Chili in the crock pot. The sound of the water running into the aquarium beside me. There are to-do lists. Places to be. Schedules to keep. But first, a message to share. The messages that I share with …
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 …
Don’t Be A Blessing Robber
There are times when we least expect it that GOD reaches out and loves on us. We don't deserve it, none of us do, but HE freely gives us HIS LOVE. I don't know why it still shocks me sometimes... My FATHER GOD, HE loves me! So much that HE speaks to me in …
