This morning as I drove into town, I began to think about kindness. Acts of kindness. My mom was the first person that came to mind. You see, she took care of all our mail and things that needed shipped through our local post office. In doing so, she became...
I was sitting in my prayer chair reading my Bible one day last week. One would think it would be the most relaxing place for me. Normally, it is. However, with the challenge of the past 6 months, I noticed something alarming that morning. I realized my body was not at rest...
The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 I have read this scripture before, several times, but it has never quite captured me...
I was out for an early morning drive when my mind began to wander to something I later found to be quite profound. While I drove, I passed the home of someone I knew. My mind went to a conversation I had recently had with a friend concerning this person. ...
Last night I dreamed throughout the night. As I dreamed the Lord kept speaking the same thing to me – it made no sense at the time. He said, “Sit and be.” Upon waking I pondered these two words, I could not understand what God was telling me. As most...
Don’t cry over spilt milk.” “Shake it off, you are fine.” “Suck it up buttercup.” These are all phases I was raised with and subsequently raised my daughter with. My mom was never a petting kind of mom. Her goal, as she has often told us, was to teach us to survive anything. And...
Over the weekend I was catching up on some online sermons from ministers I enjoy listening to. This is something I try to do each weekend. One morning I listened to three different services in a row. On the third service, something caught my attention. All three praise and worship teams sang...
Some days don’t turn out the way we want them to, no matter how we try. Have you ever had a day like that? I had one recently. It seemed there were distractions and roadblocks on every turn. It felt like I accomplished nothing. There was nothing I could do but go home at...
This morning I was reminded of a situation that once occurred with an acquaintance. They wanted me to do something that, at the time, I couldn’t do. I told them I could do it, but it would have to be a few days later. That didn’t really work out for...
Today I was reminded of something the Lord showed me few years ago when I went to watch Brailee at one of her horse-riding lessons. At the time, Brailee was only four years old. This child has loved horses for her entire life. It is something within her. We thought it was a...
I sat at my desk, reading an email I had just received from a friend who was traveling for ministry work. Upon reading, I realized it was actually a prayer request. Due to the many attacks taking place at the time of her travels, she was requesting prayer. As I...
This week I wrote about the NEW God has for us being upon us. While I still know this is true, I also know it is up to us to walk into it. We must take that step, refusing to allow anything to hinder or stop us. Recently a close...
Lately I have been studying the Old Testament. This past weekend I found myself in the book of Joshua. This was a time when Moses had died and Joshua was in charge of taking the children of Israel into the Promised Land. It was the land God had already said...
It was a crisp early morning as I headed outside to water my new flower bed. In the midst of watering the flowers, my neighbor strolled by walking her dog. “It’s looks so good!” She said. “Thank you” I replied. Laughing, I went on to say, “I always forget I have to water...
Stronger Together The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12… Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help...
One of the things God has been highlighting in my life lately are the power of words. Specifically, word curses. Proverbs 18:21 say, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Most of us are familiar with this scripture,...
