Transparency Let Me Be Transparent with everyone willing to read this blog. The last couple of years have been challenging with any writing I desired to accomplish. There have been physical complications for both my husband and me. I will not negate the seriousness of any of the conditions, but neither will I validate the enemy’s tactics against us. I will only boast about how good God is while walking through the storms of life. I will applaud God for…..
Our Pastor deemed it necessary to go back to the basics for discipleship. Why was this necessary? In a world where people believe they are Christians, 80% of those do not read the Bible for themselves on a daily basis. As I opened The Word of God this morning and began to read Psalm 103, I felt the Lord stir my heart to share how we should study His inspired words. In the first five verses, there is so much…..
Butterflies One thing I constantly need to overcome is not to push people to mature in their walk with Christ. I desire to see all people living a victorious life through Christ Jesus, and learning to walk with Him on a daily basis is key. So, I want to help them do that, but God reminds me that HE… has a perfect time for us, for all things. Realizing there are numerous levels of maturity, I have learned not to…..
JESUS LOVES ME We learn as youngsters the song “Yes, Jesus Loves Me”. And we continue the song with, “Yes, Jesus Loves Me; the Bible tells me so”. (I hear you singing it.) But through our years of sin, guilt, and shame, we may question the validity of that song and its relevance to our own lives. We wonder how the God of the universe, the creator of all things beautiful, could still love me. My friend, the…..
Night of Uncertainty I was recently reminded that the disciples had a time of uncertainty when they were crossing the Sea of Galilee and a fierce gale of wind like a tornado came upon them. They woke Jesus explaining, “Master, Master, we are about to die!” (Luke 8:22-24 in the Amplified Version) I interrupt this story to identify ourselves in this moment. Yes, the storms in our lives are extreme at times. You currently may be facing the storm of…..
What Is It What is it? Why is your heart broken? I can’t seem to let February go without addressing an issue of the heart. We love to celebrate our love on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. February has also become “Heart Month” to promote a healthy heart and lifestyle. However, this February I have noticed that numerous people are heartbroken. As I listen to their stories, it prompts the question “What is it, what is the root of the problem?”…..

The Day After Christmas It is the day after Christmas and I sense there are those saying to themselves, “Christmas is over, what is left?” Immediately the response comes to my mind, “Christmas celebrations are over, but MERCY PRESIDES!” What was the intended purpose of the Christ Child being born? To bring forth mercy, grace, and salvation for all to receive. So, do not allow loneliness, depression, oppression, or any of this like to hinder your thinking today. Gravitate to…..
A Forge At 2:37 am on October 28, 2024, I was awakened by the words “A Forge”. I quickly got up to write these words and as I was walking, I heard more, “A Forge is coming, press through.” While waiting for more interpretation of what the Lord was saying, I heard in my Spirit, “When does a light get the brightest? In the dark.” I received nothing more and I did not want to rely on my emotions, for…..
I Must Tell Jesus! I knew it was time to write a monthly blog and nothing in particular was on my heart, yet so much was. Suddenly I started singing the song, “I Must Tell Jesus” and I ran to get the hymn book for the verses. I started exclaiming, “YES, that is the answer for all the people that are on my heart today. They must tell JESUS their troubles, they must tell JESUS what is on their hearts…..
