“The Father’s Heart!”
I believe that, as children of God, one of the greatest pitfalls we face is the constant pursuit of happiness. Make no mistake—desiring joy isn’t wrong—but when the advice we hear is simply, “Do what makes you happy,” we tread on shaky ground. Why? Because such advice encourages us to chase after fleeting feelings, prioritizing…

“Your mind is a garden!”
Our minds truly are the battlefield. Amen! Often we harm our own lives simply through our mindsets. We fixate on thoughts we know aren’t true. We overthink situations instead of letting things go, and suddenly we’re in a mess—all because of how we think. We imprison ourselves, and even impact our families, by dwelling on…

“Restore unto me, Oh, Lord!”
“It’s during life’s rough and tough seasons that we truly feel—and even witness—how quickly our lives can change in an instant. At times, it seems like everything is swept away, one thing after another. In those moments, we pray. We cry. We suffer loss. We endure heartache. Amen. Yet even in the midst of it…

“My soul finds rest in God alone!”
I know that, for the most part, each of us live very busy lives. We do so many things daily—between home life, family life, and just life in general—it can sometimes get to be a little much. But you know, when life begins to feel overwhelming and heavy for me, I am always thankful and…

“Make every day count!”
“I know that Erik and I do our best every day to make it count—using what we have, choosing to be happy together, and enjoying life, even when we’re tired or have had a busy day with work and chores. We still find time to make our days meaningful for each other and to enjoy…

“Be gentle with yourself!”
Isn’t it wonderful that the Lord isn’t a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34)? He uses us all—the ones who mess up, the ones who fall, those who backslide, those with a history. You know what I mean—the ones unafraid to say what they’ve been through, the ones who don’t pretend they’ve “arrived.” Amen! The Lord…

“Confronting the enemy!”
For the most part, I truly do try my best to overcome evil with good, to turn the other cheek, to go the extra mile—just as the Scriptures teach. The Bible says that if your enemy is hungry, feed them; if they’re thirsty, give them something to drink. And in doing so, we heap coals…

“Take care of yourself!”
Where does winning truly begin in our lives? For me, it starts when my body, mind, and spirit are aligned—when I’m okay with myself, at peace with my life, and able to lay my head down and truly rest at night. When I can engage with difficult people gracefully. When I stay joyful and content…

“Sowing and Reaping!”
“This time of year many are picking things from there gardens..and I begin to think of the benefits from sowing and reaping in life..and I can’t help but to thank the Lord for this wonderful principle of sowing and reaping..Amen..but as well I begin to think about life and our lives and at how scripture…

“By this shall all men know!”
“The Lord tells us that there are two great commands that He is leaving with us..Amen..and on these two He says hangs all the law..Amen..and that is that we are to love Him with all of our heart..soul and mind..and that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves..(Matthew 22:37-40)..Amen..and people think well that isn’t…
