“And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.” 1 John 4:9 I will give you a warning, the thought that came to my mind when I read this didn’t probably come from God. I just know He can use anything... Continue Reading →
Planning and worry
“So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.” Matthew 6:34 I often find myself struggling between planning for the future and reminding myself to live in the moment. I have never been a person who worries... Continue Reading →
What You Think You Know
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.” Proverbs 3:5-6 I love this scripture. I first learned it in King James Version as a child, I love to read it in... Continue Reading →

“Listen! I stand at the door and knock; if any hear my voice and open the door, I will come into their house and eat with them, and they will eat with me.” Revelation 3:20 This was part of the message given to the church in Laodica. They were known as the lukewarm church.... Continue Reading →
Conforming and Consistency

Would You Choose to Follow?
“The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”” Exodus 14:14 This instruction came from one of the greatest of all time leaders, Moses.

The Hardest Job
I was watching a movie this week, one of the characters said "It's the hardest job you will ever do."

Questioning God
“And he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?”” Genesis 15:7-8 I am one of those people who talk to the television,... Continue Reading →
Blessings without Regret
“When the Lord blesses you with riches, you have nothing to regret.” Proverbs 10:22 I just finished reading Stones of Remembrance A Rock- Hard Faith from Rock-Hard placesby Lois Evans and Jane Rubietta. One of the last chapters highlighted the story of Achsah,the daughter of Caleb, found in Joshua 15. They talked about how... Continue Reading →
