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 …
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. …
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. …
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 …

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 …
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 …
