There is something I have been mulling over in my mind for days. It started with seven of my favorite words… On earth as it is in heaven. (Mt. 6:10) As I studied this scripture it led me to more scriptures. In this chapter of Matthew, Jesus told us how...
Today I received a text from a friend inquiring about my health. Her text asked, “Any evidence yet of your healing?” In response I shared with her that although I have not seen a full manifestation of healing, I am seeing some ‘signs’ of improvement coming forth. A little later...
I recently saw words on an advertisement that caught my attention. The bold lettered words said, “Plan Your Day…Grow Your Life.” Proverbs 16:3 in the Amplified Bible says, Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], and your plans will succeed [if you respond to His...
This morning as I drove into town, I began to think about kindness. Acts of kindness. My mom was the first person that came to mind. You see, she took care of all our mail and things that needed shipped through our local post office. In doing so, she became...
I was sitting in my prayer chair reading my Bible one day last week. One would think it would be the most relaxing place for me. Normally, it is. However, with the challenge of the past 6 months, I noticed something alarming that morning. I realized my body was not at rest...
The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 I have read this scripture before, several times, but it has never quite captured me...

Last night I dreamed throughout the night. As I dreamed the Lord kept speaking the same thing to me – it made no sense at the time. He said, “Sit and be.” Upon waking I pondered these two words, I could not understand what God was telling me. As most...
Don’t cry over spilt milk.” “Shake it off, you are fine.” “Suck it up buttercup.” These are all phases I was raised with and subsequently raised my daughter with. My mom was never a petting kind of mom. Her goal, as she has often told us, was to teach us to survive anything. And...
Over the weekend I was catching up on some online sermons from ministers I enjoy listening to. This is something I try to do each weekend. One morning I listened to three different services in a row. On the third service, something caught my attention. All three praise and worship teams sang...
Some days don’t turn out the way we want them to, no matter how we try. Have you ever had a day like that? I had one recently. It seemed there were distractions and roadblocks on every turn. It felt like I accomplished nothing. There was nothing I could do but go home at...
This morning I was reminded of a situation that once occurred with an acquaintance. They wanted me to do something that, at the time, I couldn’t do. I told them I could do it, but it would have to be a few days later. That didn’t really work out for...
