So, where do I start? As we enter into 2021, The Lord has impressed on me TO FIGHT, FIGHT IN THE SPRIT! We are in a battle, but not just some ordinary battle; this is Spiritual warfare! Everything that has been going on around us the past twelve months has made it easy for us to take the bait of Read More
New Beginnings
Happy New Year! Well, we made it through another year, and what a year it was! So much happened in 2020, but it feels as though not all of it was a loss! As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about [a]this present result, to keep many people alive. Genesis 50:20 NASB I Read More
Unseasonal Gifts
The gifts God urges us to give are not limited to fitting under a Christmas tree one day of the year; they are not seasonal. The gifts He urges us to give are as endless as His creativity and compassion. Read More
Joy in the Midst of a Crazy and Turbulent World
Have you ever noticed; when God starts working something on the inside of you, the enemy immediately comes to try to steal it away. That is what the enemy does. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10) God has been stirring in my heart the truth about joy. One moment, I would be thinking about the joy of Read More
Dead Ends
I went for a walk this afternoon and there were several ladies walking around praying. I looked around, trying to find an area where I could be alone. I spotted a path with only one other person on it. As I walked, I began to tell the Lord of my love for Him and to invite Him to do as He wills in Read More
Keys to the Kingdom
Keys open locked things. You need a key to get access. Let’s take a locked box, for instance. The box without a key is useless; if you don’t have the key, you can’t get to what’s inside. If someone told you that the box contained everything you needed, then gave you the key, would you throw the key away or forget Read More
Jesus Our Sure Foundation
With everything going on in our world, we need a sense of security more than ever and the only true security comes in our relationship with Jesus. One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 33:6, “He shall be the security and stability of your times.” Like the old hymn says, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground Read More
What Type of Lenses Are You Wearing?
There are different types of lenses. A few weeks ago, I was with some friends; one of them was trying to read something to me but was struggling because she didn’t have her glasses. I happened to have my cheaters with me, so I let her use mine. Unfortunately, she was still unable to see a thing as we obviously Read More
Walk Worthy
Castles, knights, princesses, and crowns – these are the stuff of every girl’s pretend years. What girl (of any age) doesn’t love her a sparkling tiara? I will be the first to admit that I got up in the middle of the night in the summer of 1981 to watch Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s royal wedding. We have a Read More
What Are You Looking At?
I work in the early childhood field, and we tell teachers frequently, “What you focus on you get more of.” What we are trying to convey is if you focus on a negative behavior, you will get more of it. If you focus on the positive, you will see more behaviors that are positive. The same is true as Read More
