Today God reminded me of something that once took place with my granddaughter – it’s worth repeating therefore I am going to share it with you today. One day, a few years ago, I was riding in the back seat with Brailee. Her mom was driving us to pick up Bryson from school. All of […]
A friend once told me a story that was quite profound. This story has remained with me for several years. I want to share it with you today. She shared with me about the men who play in the Super Bowl. She reminded me that the men who are on the winning team receive Super […]
I have always loved the scripture in John 14:30 which says, “I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.” The Amplified bible says it even better… I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of […]
Technology has come a long way. One thing necessary for travel these days, at least for most people, is the handy dandy GPS. I will never forget the first time I used one. I was traveling to Ohio alone. I had set my GPS to take me to my desired location. I had full confidence […]
“Life would be impossible without the atmosphere.” Of course, we know that is true as far as living on the earth goes, yet we fail to recognize how important atmospheres are in our home and in our lives. Things happen when the atmosphere is right for it. We see that in the earth. When the […]
I once received a postcard that spoke so powerfully to me that I kept it – for years. It continues to speak to me today when I need to be reminded to remember the goodness of God. The postcard was a photo of a little girl, looking out into the distance. The caption read, “Sometimes […]
I guess the many responses to last week’s writing should have been no surprise. Fear is everywhere – even in the church. I recently had a friend whose father was hospitalized with covid. Physically he was doing okay – but the fear of it all was something he couldn’t shake. I prayed against fear more […]
For the past week or so, something has been stirring around in my spirit. Three words…Point of Contact. While thinking on those words, I came across a card I once received from a partner. Within her card was a seed she wanted to sow into the ministry. While I was thankful for the seed sown, […]
This morning, as I drove to work, the Lord reminded me of something He taught me a couple years ago. I felt He was telling me to revisit this truth. At the time, I was in a season of prayer about a situation. I felt there was something blocking me from seeing my prayer answered. […]
The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and […]
As with most folks, there are usually several things I am praying about each week, this week is no different. There are times in our life when it seems we are bombarded with needed prayer. There are times when it seems one thing happens after the other and we are trying to keep up. I […]
When God Says… “Pay Attention” Monday night I had a restless night’s sleep, with a jumble of dreams. Dreams are not uncommon for me. I often dream, some God dreams and some not. Yet I have always been able to distinguish when a dream was from God. At least I thought I had. Tuesday […]
Amos 3:3 says, “Can two walk together unless they agree?” This scripture came to mind during a conversation with a friend. We were talking about a biblical situation when she gave me her frank opinion on the subject. I didn’t respond. She asked my opinion and I gave it. I didn’t elaborate. I simply became […]
Last week we talked about the ways in which God speaks. Today, I want to revisit hearing God’s voice. As I shared earlier, there are many ways in which God speaks. We have talked about a few of them. Today, I want to talk about three more. God speaks through things in our natural surroundings. […]
“Don’t you realize, you are now eating the harvest from the seeds you sowed last season?” This is something God spoke to me this week… You may recall, I shared with you how God began speaking to me in January about the scripture found in Deuteronomy 8:18; But you shall remember the LORD your God, […]
I often am asked the question, “How do you know when God speaks?” For me, the answer can be simple or complex. It takes time to learn His voice. It takes time to learn the different ways He speaks. But He is always speaking. His voice is all around us. We simply must learn to […]
“This writing stirred me.” These are the words I read from a partner email. He was referring to a previous writing. As I read his email, my mind quickly went to John 5:4. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, […]
Ecclesiastes 11:4 has always been an insightful scripture to me. As I read it today, I thought about it in an entirely different way. The scripture says, “He that observes the wind will not sow, he who regards the clouds will not reap.” I have often written on this scripture. Previous writings have focused on […]
For the past few days, I have spent more time in praise and worship than I have in some time. This morning, as I was worshipping God, I could feel how different the atmosphere was surrounding me and throughout my home. For that I am so very thankful. It’s been a hard few months for […]
