A wise person once said: " Every day may not be good....but there is something good in every day. " It is only 6 WEEKS until Thanksgiving! Here in South Georgia the extremely hot days have turned into 80s on some days. That's better than 100 though! Leaves are falling. The skies are looking more …
They Don’t Know the Truth
After seeing a whole lot about false teaching...etc.. I was compelled to dig up scripture that related to it. FALSE PROPHETS ~ DECEIVERS ~ PRETENDERS ~ COUNTERFEITS False prophets and those who seek their guidance will all be punished for their sins. (Ezekiel 14:10 NLT) Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. (Matthew 7:20 …
Some Days are Hard
SHORT and SWEET SIMPLE TRUTHS Some days ARE harder than others. Harder to choose joy. Harder to be patient. Harder to believe that things will get better. ROMANS 12:12 ~ Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. I don't know about you, but on those days, I'm even more heaven ready. …
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 …
You Know It’s Time
Walking closely with Jesus, listening for his voice, and then knowing that you've just got to take that step and obey. But..... Is that MY voice I am hearing? Is that HIS voice? Is it because I. Am. Tired. ? Is it because It. Is. Right. ? How do you know what to do...where to …
When You Are Hurting
I wish I could give a simple answer. An AHA!! type of answer..that could make things make sense to people who are hurting. I can't. I can only point the hurting to the ONE who heals all hurt. In HIS time..in HIS way. The ONE who promises to never leave us. The ONE …
Not So Excellent At Times
Recently, I completed a bible study on a book called, The Excellent Wife. Martha Peace is the author. This book was very convicting and challenging at times. There were even days when I wanted to throw it out the door. (haha) Why? Because...SELF didn't feel like being that EXCELLENT on that day. But...God would …
Even When
Even when...things are falling apart, God is still God. HE remains sovereign. HE is always good, and only capable of LOVE. Even when...things fall and break into tiny pieces...like one of my favorite coffee mugs did this morning..it's not the end of the world. God knows all. HE is in control …
Just Take That Step
I have gotten into the habit of saying that I have a "brown thumb". Truth is, I have had a LAZY thumb. Yes, you heard that right. It's a matter of discipline. Remembering to water, feed, and weed these plants. It's a choice. To watch them grow to their full potential or let them starve …
Cutting Loose
I think it is extremely important for us to remember that ANYTHING or ANYONE that we put first in our lives...becomes an idol. So, if it isn't God that is first...then we have to re-adjust..re-order the things in our lives. With that being said.... Do you have too much on your plate? Are you loaded …
