Matthew 6:34 So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. None of us are promised tomorrow, and yet many times we spend today looking back at yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. In doing so we miss out on today. Recently my youngest daughter turned eighteen. I... Continue Reading →
The Little Things
As I read the scriptures though, there is a consistent theme of God wanting to be in the small details. I think about how He wanted the ark made, or the temple, or the tabernacle. He cared about the very intricate details. He cared so much, that he took the time to spell out every... Continue Reading →
Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness
Realizing the difference between Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness is important. There are times where we look at forgiveness and think that because we act differently that we have forgiven. However, sometimes that is just a lie that we tell ourselves that opens us up to a stronghold in our life. There are times that we... Continue Reading →

Many things she said were quite accurate, and not easily known. Other things were way off. What stuck me about our conversation is that... Continue Reading →
If you fear…Remember
He must have been a believer because other than the reverential fear of God we have nothing to fear.

I Just Simply Love You {Acceptance – #Tuesday@Ten}
Imagine for a moment, that "I just simply love you" that was the thought that came to me as I was walking on the treadmill this morning. I admit I was looking at the over-sized card that my husband bought me for Valentine's Day, that I didn't appreciate. I hung it up, as a token... Continue Reading →
Delayed Promises or God’s Timing
Genesis 40:14-15 (NLT) “And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place. For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.” For two... Continue Reading →
