Paralysis by Analysis

I read an article one day that I found quite interesting. The title was, What causes us to choke when we are under pressure? Even the title caught my attention because at that precise moment I was dealing with some things. I had even thought about giving up. The article...

An Offering of Peace

I recently read an article about a Peace Offering. I am very interested in the Old Testament and in the symbolism of that testament. Since I read the article, each day at some point, a peace offering would come to mind, therefore I decided to re-read the article and study...

Hurt People

One morning a few years ago, I arrived at work with a black eye. As I looked at it in the mirror that morning, trying, but failing, to cover it up - I had to smile. You see, I didn't fall, no one hit me, at least not on purpose....

Arise and Shine

This morning, as I awoke, the first thing I heard was a scripture; it is found in Isaiah 60, which says, “Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” As I meditated on this scripture, excitement began to build. I...

A Prospering Soul

We all want to prosper, yet most of us would say there are areas in our life where we are not seeing prosperity. As a ministry, many of our prayer requests we receive are for prosperity, either in finances or the physical body. Last week, I was spending some time...

What Footprints Are You Leaving?

It is said, anything we do online, on social media leaves a footprint. I wonder if we realize each and every day, we do this. We leave a footprint. This thought ran through my mind as I saw a post on Facebook last week. I don’t get on Facebook often...

God’s Way of Increase

Over the years I have shared stories with you about my grandchildren, Bryson and Brailee. Often God speaks to me through these two. I am so thankful when God does this. Many times, like the instance I am sharing with you today, it catches me off guard. Bryson is a...

Time In His Presence

I knew what I needed; I had felt it all day long. Still, the day was busy, there were people all around. When I was finally alone, the phone kept ringing. It seemed to be one thing after another that had to be dealt with. I was becoming desperate –...

A Voice of Maturity

Something the Lord once spoke to me came to mind today. “A voice of maturity” – I remember the day the Lord taught me about this. We have all been there, at least I know I have. We are believing God for something and become frustrated in the wait. We...

The Divide

I was walking down the hallway, getting ready for work, thinking about a message I once heard. It was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. The minister shared that this year we stepped into a new place in God. He went on to share how God...

Keeping Our Eyes Fixed on God

Taking a deep breath, I absorbed the words the Holy Spirit was speaking to my heart. Peace washed over as I heard this familiar phrase. “Eyes on me.” I remember the first time I heard these words. I was watching a movie about a teacher whose students weren’t listening. Snaping...

Continual, Abundant

This morning, I was thinking about my Aunt Sherry who just went to be with the Lord. I began to think about all the life lessons I learned from her over the years. We were close, we spent a lot of time together and each time, she taught me something...
