Simple Truths Blog
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 …

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 …

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 …

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ~ Be joyful always; Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. It's been raining..raining...and raining some more in our "neck of the woods". 🙂 Puddles everywhere. As we were getting ready to leave one of the buildings at the women's retreat …

I'm good at stuffing. Stuffing drawers. Stuffing cabinets. Stuffing closets. AND, yes, stuffing my feelings. Throw it all in and hurry and slam it shut before it falls out or comes undone. Just, out of sight, out of mind. That's. Not. Healthy. So, to be honest..it took me writing out my testimony to realize some …

Colossians 4:2 ~ Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Why is it, that we tend to look at prayer as a last resort? Oh...come on..don't tell me you always think "let me pray first." We like to think of ourselves this way. We like for others to think of us …
