Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. I thought about the things that I want to see in the life of those I love and in the life of those I work with daily. I want good things for them all. A true relationship with Christ, love,... Continue Reading →
Starting Over
This year has been a year where God has led me to work on discipline and self-control. As the year started, I was diligent in seeking God and exercising discipline and self-control. As I ended my fast and went back to "regular living" I slacked off, and eventually found myself down a path I had never intended... Continue Reading →
Sliding
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. Hebrews 3:12-13 Sometimes in life we go along, and find life is...

Precious Gifts
I am sitting at the hospital, waiting for the precious gift God lent me, to give birth to her own precious gift. It has been a long journey, but God is giving her the desire of her heart. Laurin had longed to be a mommy for such a long time. She sufficed with babysitting. Then... Continue Reading →

The laughter is contagious and they have only had a blanket. They were standing at the window. Initially I suggested... Continue Reading →
Striking
I keep hearing on the news about the Walmart Associates that want to strike this week, on the busiest shopping day of the year. Today, I hear that it is because of unfair wages. I won't argue to Walmart's pay policies, what I will say is they need to figure out a better way to... Continue Reading →
In The Potter’s Hands
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. I often hear this verse in the context of "God's still working on me." We are clay in the Potter's Hand. He is shaping us and molding us,... Continue Reading →
Open the Floodgates
As we were in praise and worship tonight singing "Let it Rain, Let it rain, open the floodgates of Heaven" it occurred to me that typically I personally sing this sing talking about my own life. Thinking "God pour out your Spirit in my life. Open the flood gates of Heaven in my life." It... Continue Reading →
The Journey of Grace
There is a song by Big Daddy Weave called I am Redeemed. It is a powerful song that has ministered to me every time I heard it over the past few months. Wednesday, driving in my car, I had a revelation that I really am redeemed, it was if Christ was sitting in the car... Continue Reading →
