My Life is Not My Own

In the month of June, I taught on Worship for four weeks at our church. Those times birthed something in me that seems to grow deeper day by day. It is a desire to once again spend my days with God. While it sounds wonderful and it is, it makes...

Guarding Your Oil

Not too long ago I read something online that I felt was not only powerful, but timely. It seems lately, the Lord is cautioning me about who I allow to lay hands on me and those I invite into my inner circle. There are people who will simply drain the...

Becoming a Generous Giver

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (2 Cor 9:6-8) I was meditating on this familiar verse when a thought came to me… “I wonder if I am a generous giver?” More importantly… I wonder if GOD would consider me...

The Brightest Day

Shine!

Things Done Right

I love when God speaks life-changing words, during a normal conversation. Several years ago, I was having a phone conversation with a friend. She was talking to me about where she and her husband are, spiritually speaking. She shared with me how she had said to her husband, “we have...

Presence of God

As I stepped into the sanctuary, I encountered the tangible presence of God. Something was very different. Although the service didn’t start for another half hour, the tangible presence of the Lord greeted me as I entered the room. The place was heavy with His presence. In silence I sat...

A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone. This is the dictionary definition of the word, trust. In the Strong’s Concordance, trust is defined as to have confidence in, to be secure, to feel safe, and to have no care. Lately, I have been compelled to...

Debt Cancellation

Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin…enjoy! I felt strongly that this week we needed to pray regarding the financial struggle many are facing both personally as well as our national debt. Debt is debilitating. So is lack. Anyone who has had to...

Have you ever heard a single word from God that stopped you in your tracks and lit you up at the same time? I heard such a word several months ago. Today, God brought that word back to my remembrance. Could it be that it is for such a time...
