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. …
YOU TALKING TO ME ?
Psalm 18:31,32 (NLT) ~ For who is God except the Lord? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. I have to be honest. Sometimes I really do find myself talking back to The Holy Spirit. When I feel there is something way …
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. …
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 …

Kind Words
A little bit of encouragement goes a long way. Am I right? Definitely. Those of us who have ran in races know that this is true! Anyone who competes in any type of sport..knows this to be true. When you are feeling as though you can't go any farther, and you hear cheers...your spirits lift …
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 …
HER TESTIMONY
Philippians 4:13 ~ I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength. Isaiah 40:31 ~ but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Psalm 34:4 ~ I sought The Lord, …
