  • “Doing the right thing!”

    “Why do we at times disregard and overlook the nudgings of the Lord when He is speaking to us and correcting us? Somehow, we don’t always choose well, and then we suffer the consequences of our actions all because we simply didn’t do the right thing. Amen. Choosing the needful things in our lives the…

  • “Count it all joy!”

    I often think about Paul in the Word of God and how he had a thorn in his side. The Bible says he sought the Lord three times to remove it, but it was not taken away. When I consider that, and when I think about our own lives and the burdens that remain no…

  • “Shine with kindness!”

    “What if we were all more caring and showed much kindness? What if we treated one another with love, respect, and compassion? What if we simply took the time to consider someone else? What if we truly understood that we are all on the same journey in life? What if we spoke to each other…

  • “When you’re hungry you’ll eat!”

    “This morning, I woke up around 4 a.m., and when I did, I was really hungry. So, I took myself to the kitchen, started peeling potatoes, made my coffee, put the bacon in the oven, and began cooking breakfast for my family and me. Amen. As I sat there eating, I thought to myself, Lord,…

  • “Christ lives in me!”

    For me, I am always truly unsettled in my mind, heart, and body when I am not doing what I need to do or being where I need to be in my life. When I fail and fall as we all do from time to time, for none of us are perfect human beings I…

  • “Mindset!”

    “I’m learning, and I’m still learning that our mindset is everything. It shapes who we are as a person and how we choose to view the world and the things that happen in our lives every single day. We can choose to see the cup as half empty or half full. Perspective is everything. It…

  • “Grace!”

    “It seems that for many of us, we desire the gift of grace for ourselves when we fall or fail but when it comes to extending that same grace to others, we often hold back. It reminds me of the story in the Bible about the man who owed a great debt to a king.…

  • “Discipline!”

    “Discipline is defined as the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior. It is of the utmost importance in gaining self-control. Amen! I am writing today about discipline because it is the gateway to victory. Through discipline, we can obtain victory over the things we desire to overcome in our…

  • “Solution!”

    One of my dearest and sweetest friends — I often tell her that she may be little, but she is incredibly strong and fierce. To look at her, you might think she is frail, but within her is the heart of a mighty warrior. Amen! It’s truly amazing how much strength she carries and how…

  • “Lord change me!”

    You know how we truly fail in our lives? In our witness, in our growth, in our everyday living with society and others, and even in our homes? I think it’s because we’re always trying to fix others. We always want to give an opinion, to pass judgment, and we rarely take time to consider…
