There are so many Kingdom principles that don't make sense, and yet work. God can do more through a moment of obedience, than we can do in a lifetime of professional work. Imagine being an expert fisherman and toiling all night without any luck. Then along comes a rabbi. He tells you how to do a... Continue Reading →
I read this scripture today in my search for verses about how much God cares about me. Not just me, but people in general. The last part of the scripture just leapt of the page. "His holy people (that includes me) who are His rich and glorious inheritance." I am God's inheritance. I have pondered on that little fact... Continue Reading →
Jesus is the bread That feeds my soul. He provides nourishment to my body. He sustains me.

Matthew 26:36-46 tells of Jesus praying in Gethsemane. Although Jesus knew that the journey ahead He would walk alone, Jesus hoped his friends of three years would be with Him to encourage Him and pray for Him.

I love the fall. The next two weeks are suppose to be the peak season in our region for the foliage to come alive with the vibrant red, yellows and oranges. The trees' leaves are slowly starting to change. I am waiting with great anticipation for the weather to cooperate for a long motorcycle ride... Continue Reading →
A friend recently told me that I needed a "safe person" in my life, someone I would feel comfortable talking with openly about anything. In the natural, I know that this is true. The truth is I do have and always have had that place of safety in my life. Trust comes hard when you... Continue Reading →

One of the definitions of trust is dependence on something future or contingent : hope. About two years into my second marriage, I put my trust in God for my husband's surrender to Him. I can't say my husband is not a believer; I have confidence that if he died he would make it to heaven. However, the... Continue Reading →
