that there are definitely areas that God has been speaking to me about, and calling on me to change. Anyone who knows me well, knows I am pretty strong-willed. Sometimes God really has to get my attention REPEATEDLY!!! There are a couple of things that keep coming up that I know God is revealing to me
I John 2:2 states "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins, but for the sins of the whole world." As I read that tonight, it really sunk in to me that Jesus has already paid the price ,as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. He paid not just... Continue Reading →
So many times growing up I remember my mom saying "Because I said so" in response to my endless questions of why. Or to my complaints or excuses as I tried to get out of 'whatever' I was doing or not doing at the time. I truly hated that response. Yet, often I find myself... Continue Reading →
Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit when he went into the desert. The Holy Spirit led him there to be tempted forty days and forty nights. (Luke 4:1-2). So many times, I think of this time in Jesus' life and I think He fasted for forty days and then the devil came to him... Continue Reading →

I have heard Philippians 4:19 quoted so many times "And my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches and glory by Jesus Christ" as a verse to say God will give you everything you need. While that may be true, in the context it was written their need was going to be... Continue Reading →
I can't say how many times I have read the story of Jesus being led into the wilderness and His temptation. Last night I read it, and I saw something I completely have missed before and it definitely shed light on the things I face. Coupled with my daughter's insight into my problem with patience,...

I have always said patience is a virtue, one I don't have. Then I heard a message that Patience is a fruit of the Spirit and that the seed is planted in me already. Although I know it is in me, I never pray for it to grow because that means it will have to... Continue Reading →
I was reading in Mark 9:14-15 And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. As I read this familiar passage, where Jesus heals the boy who the... Continue Reading →
