Over the years I have shared stories with you about my grandchildren, Bryson and Brailee. Often God speaks to me through these two. I am so thankful when God does this. Many times, like the instance I am sharing with you today, it catches me off guard. Bryson is a...
I knew what I needed; I had felt it all day long. Still, the day was busy, there were people all around. When I was finally alone, the phone kept ringing. It seemed to be one thing after another that had to be dealt with. I was becoming desperate –...
Something the Lord once spoke to me came to mind today. “A voice of maturity” – I remember the day the Lord taught me about this. We have all been there, at least I know I have. We are believing God for something and become frustrated in the wait. We...
I was walking down the hallway, getting ready for work, thinking about a message I once heard. It was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. The minister shared that this year we stepped into a new place in God. He went on to share how God...
Taking a deep breath, I absorbed the words the Holy Spirit was speaking to my heart. Peace washed over as I heard this familiar phrase. “Eyes on me.” I remember the first time I heard these words. I was watching a movie about a teacher whose students weren’t listening. Snaping...
This morning, I was thinking about my Aunt Sherry who just went to be with the Lord. I began to think about all the life lessons I learned from her over the years. We were close, we spent a lot of time together and each time, she taught me something...
One night while Bre, my daughter, was at my home, she received a call from Bryson, her son. After the call, she quickly left. I didn’t know what the issue was, only that it involved a bird. The following day, I asked Bryson what happened. Here’s his story. The night...
A couple months ago, my daughter and I were having a conversation when she made a statement that stuck with me. She shared with me that her husband has said, “I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, then you would realize you are beautiful, just the way you...
My sister shared a story with me recently that was quite profound. At least the message I got out of it was. Her daughter, my niece, just completed her second year of college. She hopes to go on to medical school after the four years at this school. In taking...
It was early morning. I was grumbling as I swept cat hair off the rug on my back porch. My mind went back to the first time I saw this stray cat. He unfortunately showed up on my porch while my grandkids were visiting. They were both saying, “Nana, it’s...
“Don’t you realize, you are now eating the harvest from the seeds you sowed last season?” This is something God once spoke to me… It was last year when God began to speak with me about a scripture found in Deuteronomy 8:18, “But you shall remember the LORD your God,...
Today, I thought about a conversation I once had with my grandson, about what he wanted to do when he grew up. Without hesitation, he said, “I want to work in the field of space, even if I have to be a janitor.” “A janitor?” I questioned. He said, “Yes,...
Sometimes I can’t help but think of how awesome our God is and what He miraculously does with what we seem is little or not enough. We are all familiar with the story of David and Goliath. All the soldiers were afraid and intimidated by Goliath – no one wanted...
Peter Wagner once said…“God’s purpose may be thwarted or it may be accomplished depending, to one degree or another, on the obedience of His people and their willingness to use the weapons of spiritual warfare that He has provided. God is powerful enough to win any battle, but He has...
I want to share a story with you from several years ago. I may have shared it in the past, if so, perhaps you need a gentle reminder…I know I did. Bryson, who is now 18, was 2 at the time. I had told my daughter I would babysit him...
Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the Lord with your possession and the first fruits of all your increase, so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.” The way we give our offerings to God is important. What portion we give to Him is...
