GOD IS NOT LIKE ME
I am so glad that GOD is not like me. He is good. All of the time. I'm not. He is merciful and faithful to me all of the time. I don't always show mercy, and as much as I want to be...I'm not faithful to Him every single second of every single day. GOD …

USE ME BUT
We say "USE ME" to God. Then we get rattled when he asks us to get up and move. USE ME GOD... But .... Use me how I want to be used. Heavens no, don't ask me to do that. I cannot be inconvenienced. Use me Lord. But. I am not equipped. That would be awkward. Somebody …

The Beautiful Remembering Kind
"Leave behind footprints in concrete not footprints in sand that wash away..." ~Heather Dawkins A thought that came to me the other day. I was on the treadmill.

Missed Blessings
That nudge I get, the one that I can't ignore, that's The Holy Spirit. My JESUS living in me. Convicting. Pushing. Nudging. HIS presence. Every single time that I obey whatever it is that God lays on my heart, I am blessed. Usually the obedience is preceded with an uncomfortable feeling of SELF fighting with …

There is beauty in the ordinary. I step onto the pavement, and the breeze is blowing cool and crisp air, and I look down and …
