  • ”Spring Up!”

    “As I was in my yard this morning pulling weeds and washing down the fences, I kept thinking about how quickly weeds spring up, especially after the rain. Then I kept recalling the Scripture in God’s Word: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now…

  • ”Hold On!”

    “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. (Ecclesiastes 3:1). We are called to “fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12). We are also told to “endure hardness, as…

  • ”Way Maker, Miracle Worker!”

    “We all have areas in our lives that need to be fixed, mended, healed, or set free. I’m not really sure what your need may be, but I do know that every one of us has something in our lives that we wish were better something we long to overcome or get through. Sometimes we…

  • ”Your story!”

    “A year ago yesterday, my husband underwent major surgery. Then, a year ago today, I found out that I had malignant melanoma. This morning, I’ve been recalling our story and everything we walked through over this past year. I remember how I felt, what we endured, and how difficult and discouraging it was at times.…

  • ”Waiting!”

    “Learning to wait is never an easy thing for any of us. We all want to get to where we are going, and we want to get there as quickly as possible. Amen! We become impatient a lot of the time and rush ahead, only to realize later that maybe we should have slowed down…

  • ”Enjoy your life!”

    “I think so many of us say a lot of things in our lives without ever really stopping to hear and understand exactly what it is that we’re saying. Amen. For the most part, we go around saying, ‘Well, if you’re not in a battle, then something is wrong in your life.’ I’ve been thinking about this concept, and I find myself asking, ‘Lord, why in the world do we say this so…

  • ”Cast your cares!”

    “Life gets heavy at times, and it can feel as though you are buried beneath layer upon layer of stress, worries, and problems. It can seem as if you are constantly pulling weeds, yet before you’ve even removed one, another springs up. Amen. The enemy is very clever in trying to overwhelm us, and that can happen so easily, especially when life seems like a series of unfortunate events that just keep…

  • ”The Cross!”

    “The cross what power it carries for us as children of God. Amen. It symbolizes God’s sacrificial love, the forgiveness of sins, and the ultimate victory and power over death. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, willingly endured crucifixion to pay the penalty for humanity’s sins. Because He was resurrected three days after dying on…

  • ”Grateful!”

    “Grateful means showing and feeling a deep appreciation for the kindness and blessings in your life. It keeps you in a mindset of thankfulness, appreciating all that you have and all that you receive. Amen. A grateful heart keeps you in a positive state of mind, helping you see more good than bad. It keeps…

  • ”We’re growing!”

    “The Lord places us in difficult situations and circumstances to help us grow in Him. Amen. I know all too well that none of us want hard times or difficult seasons to take place in our lives, because we naturally desire comfort. We don’t want difficulties. We don’t want to be in places where we’re…
