What’s Your Family Medical History?
A few weeks ago, I had surgery, and thanks be to God, I feel like a new woman now. But in preparation for that surgery, I had to consult with several doctors, and with each one, I had to complete a lot of medical forms that included questions like “What is your medical history —…
Faith in God’s Faithfulness
I’m a really strong chick — not because life has been easy….I just got stronger with each challenge that came my way! As we get stronger, the struggles in life, that once were difficult — are now a piece of cake. And no matter what our struggles are, God will never let it be too…
Mama’s Got Game
This Mama’s “Got Game”! When someone says that about me, it means “She’s NOT just a fan watching from the sidelines or the stands -– she’s in the game, playing on the field, and not only hitting the ball – but knocking it out of the ballpark (well, at least in my imagination).” And I’ve…
Sheltered in the Arms of God
Another thing to know about me….in the 70s, my husband, sister-in-law, a dear friend and I were The Master’s 4 Quartet. We traveled the country in a 26′ Winnebago (with our two kids pictured here) — singing/playing Gospel songs in churches, camps, concerts and other venues. Those were great days of many and long road…
Remain, or Be Raised?
Tested, tried, and proven fact: How we talk and complain, and talk and complain about our present circumstances and challenges……determines how long we’ll get to stay right there, and, if we keep it up, we’ll even get to go around the same mountain again and again and again! Remember the Israelites being stuck wandering in…
Got Giants?
Got GIANTS?? Encounter any this week? I’m sure the answer is “Yes!”. I sure did. It’s just a fact, we all encounter some incredible giants from time to time. They seem so big and powerful, and they taunt us – doing their best to make us run in fear. Wouldn’t it be nice if what…
I Believe I Can Fly — If Dumbo Can — So Can I
Yesterday, I posted “I believe I can fly!” Let’s take it a step further. Do you remember Dumbo — the Disney character that had huge ears? Other elephants ridiculed him, until he met Timothy Mouse that changed his perspective. Timothy convinced Dumbo that his little feather had magical powers that could turn his ears into…
I Believe I Can Fly — Come Fly With Me!
God really wants us to fly! He wants us to fly free of yesterday’s fears, guilt, disappointments and frustrations. He wants us to fly free of today’s anxieties. He wants us to fly free of tomorrow’s concerns. God moves mountains and He promises to answer our prayers. That’s what He promises in Matthew 21:24 “If…
Let’s Be Salt Shakers
Let’s be SALT SHAKERS!! “Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” – Colossians 4:6 So this scripture says…..when sharing our faith with others, it’s like seasoning with salt. If someone sprinkles a little salt on food and makes…
The Flood Effect
We’ve talked about the “ripple effect” and the trickle down effect, but God wants to release a “flood effect” of His power into our lives like we’ve never seen before. This means we may have difficulties that look extremely large, obstacles that appear impassable, or dreams that seem unattainable. But when God releases a flood…
