I was recently thinking about the word of God and all that it is to us. I believe at times we become accustomed to the word of God and forget the power that lies within God’s word. Today, I want to remind you of some of the power of the...
A few years ago, a friend said these four words to me; it’s not about you. At the time it seemed harsh and cold, yet it was exactly what I needed to hear at the time. I was going through a very difficult situation concerning a family member. They were...
But the time shall come when you will grow restive and break loose, and you shall tear his yoke from off your neck. Genesis 27:40 My daughter is an adult now. But when she was small, as with most children, I often found myself repeating things to her like "Breanne,...
Over the weekend, I read something that Mark Rogan from New South Wales shared online that really touched my soul. I want to share it with you today – I pray you will be as blessed by it as I was… About 4-5 weeks ago now I was picking my...
After going through two weeks of my granddaughter, Brailee, fighting off sickness and infection, we were all exhausted. When she began to improve, and I got some sleep, I couldn’t help but reflect on the past couple weeks. It was hard. It seemed to be a constant battle. With no...

He said, “stress makes it extremely difficult to conceive.” As I listened, I found that when under significant stress, the probability of conception is greatly reduced. I also found that even animals shut down their...
It was one of those days when God had me call a few people on the phone. Just to encourage them. After the third time God had me make a call, I thought of a scripture in Proverbs. A man has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and how good...
Just before Christmas, a couple years ago, I was walking outside my house and saw a paper lying behind some shrubbery. I leaned over and picked it up. It was obvious it had been there for a while. It was a note from the local water company telling me I...
Psalm 103:20-22 says; Bless the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, obeying the voice of His word! Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you who serve Him and do His will. Bless the Lord, all you works of His, in all places of His...
"Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then...

Eternal perspective or seasonal perspective…which one do you have? I was thinking about this over the weekend. We must realize there is a huge difference in eternal perspective and seasonal or daily perspective. For instance, if I am at a family gathering with lots of food and I choose to...
I have learned as a grandmother that kids go through phases. At first, with Bryson, when he was a small boy, we would become concerned when he seemed to be going through a whiney stage, or a grumpy stage. But, after a while, I learned. It was simply a phase...
Have you ever looked at someone who was being blessed by God and thought…”why isn’t God blessing me like that?” Perhaps it is someone in ministry. Or someone in the same business you are in. Maybe even someone who is believing for the same thing you are believing for and...
This past week I was thinking about something. You see, God had asked me if I wanted to have this one thing; I thought about it for days and realized that while I did like this thing, if I could choose, it wouldn’t be my first choice, it would be...
