Years ago, I listened to a teaching by Pastor Dave Roberson from Tulsa, Ok. This teaching greatly impacted my life - from that day to now. It was called, Peace, The Aggression Weapon of God. When I first began to study this subject, I wasn't clear on how peace could...
It’s that time of year… when we begin planting seeds to get a jump start on gardening. As I was thinking about this today, I remembered something that happened a couple years ago, when Bre and I planted our seeds. I had purchased some herb seed to plant, some for...
It’s something we don’t talk about very often. Many don’t even consistently partake of rest. I see this with those who are in business, ministry or parents, or dealing with sickness or a sick loved one. We seem to run all the time, without thinking about how much our body...
We were driving through town the other day when up ahead we saw blue lights. “Uh oh.” Breanne said. I thought, “it must be an accident.” However, as it came closer, I realized what it was. “Pull over!” I said. “It’s a funeral.” I don’t know if you do this...
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.Ephesians 6:16 Several times this week, God has prompted me concerning the shield of faith. He has compelled me to continually pray that the shield of faith is in place...
It was late one evening when I finally sat down to relax a bit. I picked up a magazine that had come that day in the mail and began to flip through it. Suddenly something caught my attention. It was only two words, yet they spoke volumes to me. Weed...
Every now and then, God will remind me of something that happened a few years ago. During those times of reminding, He is often instructing me to be a raven for someone else. This conversation was based on the story of God feeding Elijah with a raven, of all things, ...
Today, I was reminded of a trip Breanne, and I once took out of town. It was a bright sunny day. We were driving to a nearby city to pick something up for a birthday party. I was the passenger that day. I was quietly riding along, looking out the...
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. (2 Tim 4:2) I thought of this scripture last week when I received an early morning call from my aunt, the call actually woke me up. She informed me that she...
It happens to all of us. Out of nowhere, an unexpected challenge comes our way. Our first response in situations like this is vital. I had such an event early Saturday morning. I know better than to speak words that line up with what the enemy is attempting to do...
And he shall speak great words against the most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High. (Dan 7:25) I have thought of this Scripture many times over the past few months, as I see the weariness on the faces of those who have been standing in faith,...
I once heard a profound statement that said, “Prayer is not complete until you have stopped and listened for His voice.” I began to think of how I would feel if Breanne came to me and said, “Mom, thanks for helping me yesterday and thanks for all you do for...
Recently, while teaching a group about communion, I was reminded of something a pastor friend once shared with me. It was a profound insight, and I believe it relates to spending time with God as much as it relates to remaining in a state of humility. Lately, I have been...
Recently, after listening to our pastor teach on offense, I began praying a scripture he suggested found in the book of Psalms. Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! (Ps 139:23) As I began to pray this scripture over myself daily, God...
Today, I want to share with you something that happened many years ago now. It comes back to mind each year as I begin to think about canning season. But first, I want to share some foundational scriptures with you. These are powerful truths we should all be praying over...
This past Sunday, I was listening to Marsha Johnson teach a ladies Sunday school class. I actually knew ahead of time the subject she would be teaching on. She had shared with me that she was teaching on focus. My initial thought was, “I don’t have trouble with focus, I...
