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
Fighting For Change
It’s time, we all need to be fighting for change. First, we have to change ourselves. To do that we need to know which areas of our lives need more God. We all have some area in our lives where we need to let Jesus in. Just stop here for a moment….take a deep cleansing breath, hold it, slowly Read More
Believe
There have been two times in my life where I was asked; “if money was not an object what would you do?” I was thinking about that not too long ago, what would I do if money wasn’t an object, and as I was sitting there daydreaming of all the things I could and would do, God spoke to my Read More
In His Presence 24/7
Psalm 27:4 AMP “ One thing have I ask of the Lord, that will I seek and inquire for, and insistently require; that I may DWELL in the house of the Lord, in His presence all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty, the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness of the Lord and to Read More
Listen
I wouldn’t say I’m an expert on listening. Not even close. As a friend, I catch myself interrupting others. As a wife I find myself zoning out while my husband tells me about his monotonous workday, and as a mother I find myself blocking out all noise pertaining to my four dear children. I like my music loud. I like Read More
It’s All In A Name
Every day God reveals himself to us. He beckons us to come closer, to see Him for who he is. He gives us glimpses of his glory through that sunset we cannot stop looking at, that thunderstorm that leaves us breathless. Creation clearly displays God’s power and glory. (Romans 1:2) Not only does God reveal himself to us through His Read More
A Perspective on the Pandemic
The world is focused on the pandemic and there is no doubt it is a powerful virus, but some people have elevated it to a place in their lives and thinking where it should not be. As believers in God and as those who have put our hope and trust in Jesus, we can make it through this time stronger. Read More
