A man of God once asked Smith Wigglesworth a question. “How do you wake up in the morning?” in other words, “How do you begin your day?” Why is that important? Because how you begin a thing matters. If you begin your day rushing around, anxious and in a hurry, it will often set the […]
Pride is a subject we seldom hear taught about in church these days. However, presently, I am seeing God work on this attitude in many of those around me. Just this week, Breanne and I were talking. She said to me; “I believe I have walked through this season to get rid of pride.” I […]
I read something the other day that said, “A seed sown in good ground, doesn’t struggle to produce a tree, it simply does what it were designed to do by God, it will produce what the seed was sown for.” Isn’t that good news!?! When we sow seeds of the word of God into our […]
This summer has been hard. There is no way around it. What I thought was going to be a few weeks off work with time to refresh and renew has been a time of one challenge after another – one loss after another. So what do you do with that? For me, I purposed in […]
God often speaks to me through things of nature. There are certain things in nature that if I need to hear from God, he will show me these things. One of those things is rainbows. I love them. They always remind me of the faithfulness of God and the truth that he will never break […]
One day last week, it was 3am and I was trying to sleep but something was keeping me awake. Finally, I sat up and prayed, asking God “What is it you are trying to tell me or show me?” He did not disappoint. He began to deal with me about some things I had scheduled […]
Over the past few months, there is a subject God has brought up to me over and again. The subject is, a strong spirit. After weeks of God speaking to me about building a strong spirit within me, it seemed everywhere I turned someone was saying something about a strong spirit. Most recently, one minister […]
Silence is not new to me. I am very comfortable in silence. Many are not – many need noise to feel at peace. Not so with me. However, lately, the silence is much greater and deeper. I have come to believe it is a spiritual thing. After completing a time of fasting, I found I […]
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. (Prov 10:22) This is another scripture that has reverberated in my spirit for the past month. We know the blessing of the Lord makes one rich, but we don’t always remember that He adds no sorrow with it. The word, […]
As with most folks, there are many things I am praying about this month, even this week. There are times in our life when it seems we are bombarded with prayer requests. There are times when it seems one thing happens after the other and we are trying to keep up. I don’t know about […]
I was listening to Pastor Bill Winston this morning, when I heard him make this statement… “somewhere that you are not.” As my day progressed, I could not get this statement off my mind, somewhere that you are not. I began to ponder this idea of being somewhere that you are not. I could think […]
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17 (NIV) I want to share a day in our life that happened a few years ago. God reminded me of it today and it always brings me to tears. The day began as […]
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. (NLT) This is the scripture that came to mind on day, several years ago, as the principal of Brailee’s school shared a story with […]
This morning, as I drove to work, the Lord reminded me of something He taught me a couple years ago. I knew I had written about it before. I also knew He was telling me to revisit it. I want to share it with you today, as I feel some of us may need this […]
Have you ever had a day or a situation occur when you decided, I AM DONE WITH THIS, I AM NOT TAKING IT ANOTHER MOMENT!? I know I have. Actually, I had one of those this week. When I have moments like that, I am always reminded of the scripture in Genesis 27:40 that says; […]
I never tire of the things God teaches me and reminds me of during planting season. One day, a few months ago, I was preparing some Kennebec potatoes to put in the garden. I was sitting down, cutting them in quarters or halves, making sure there were several eyes present on each cutting. That is […]
Jerry Savelle had a saying that I love… “every day is a blessing day!” This is what came to mind as I thought about a time Bre and I were looking for a vehicle. Allow me to explain. That day, we really had no idea which direction to go and what to look for, Breanne […]
Have you ever had one of those days when things were going wrong one after another? Or where those around you are facing challenges and were bringing those frustrations to you? I think we have all had days like that. I know I have. Just a few days ago I had a day when the […]
It is during the darkest moments of our life that we must shift our focus to clearly see the light. I thought of this today as my daughter shared an insightful truth with me. My daughter battles anxiety at times. When driving, there are some long bridges over deep waters that cause her anxiety. She […]
This morning as I was walking into the prayer room to record the weekly audio partner prayer, my mind was going over all the things I needed to get done this week. As I was thinking about what I needed to get done on Monday, the Lord arrested my thoughts. He stopped me in my […]
