I Was Hungry and You Fed Me
My Life Group meets at my home every Thursday night. These women are amazing, faith-filled, fully devoted followers of Christ, and I’m inspired by them every week. It seems that God hand-picked our group — each one has unique talents and abilities, and has unique circumstances going on their life, but watching how God answers…
Don’t Give Up!
This precious, quiet, unassuming, yet amazingly talented woman is representative of what God does when it seems all hope is gone. A couple of years ago, her husband of 40+ years passed away after a long battle of cancer. As if that weren’t enough to cause her to go the way of depression, sadness, mourning…
EVERYTHING Has Its Season
Yesterday I received a Hobby Lobby email and it said, “Fall in love with Fall”. Then, it hit me. Fall has literally sprung up on us — school is back in session, and last weekend, the college teams’ fans were out in numbers as they sported their favorite team shirts and colors. I’m already noticing…
Think Before You Speak
Oh, how I want to put my finger to people’s lips and say “Shhhh — don’t say that!” when I hear then say things like “I’m so stupid”, “I can just look at a cookie, and I gain weight”, “I get a cold this time every year”, “I could never win at that”, “I’ll never…
Hard Working People — Happy Labor Day!
HAPPY LABOR DAY!! This is the day to honor all of our hard working Americans who make life so much better for us. And, particularly, I want to thank those of you who don’t usually get the acclaim and recognition. You know who you are — the garbage truck workers, restaurant cooks and waiters, cashiers,…
For Such a Time as This
I love the story of Queen Esther. She risked death by her boldness as she spoke out for her people Israel. I often quote from her story when I, or my friends, may be experiencing turmoil, chaos, and even loss. I’m reminded — that just like Esther, “I may have come to a royal position…
Behind the Storm is a Rainbox of Blessing
Most of my posts are from my own personal life experiences. St. Paul said, in 2 Corinthians 1:4 “That you may be comforted with the same comfort that I have been comforted with.” And, indeed, iit is MY utmost desire is to comfort others with the same comfort that I have been comforted with during…
Fear NOT….STAND and See the Salvation of the Lord!
Are you facing some insurmountable challenges today? At the end of your rope? Here’s a great word for us — straight from headquarters! “Fear not: stand still, be firm, confident, undismayed and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today…the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your…
To God Be The Glory, Honor and Praise
“How can I say thanks for all the things He’s done for me? Things so undeserved yet He gave to prove His love for me — the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude — all that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee! To God,…
Jesus Loves Me This I Know….or Don’t Know?
I never knew abuse by an angry father. But I do know the pain to have a very sick daddy. He became like a sibling to me because of brain tumor surgery that caused severe damage, as well as caused dibilitating seizures and convulsions that this little girl witnessed many times. At 8 years old,…
