Faith Crisis? Don’t Stop Now. You’re Almost There.
I have many friends who are facing a faith crisis — some in their health, their finances, their relationships and/or simply fear for what the future holds. After all, if we watched and listened to the news long enough, and believed it – we could all take a tail spin. It’s not that we don’t…
??A Tribute to my Beloved Sister??
Because she’s alive and well and it’s her birthday! Tributes to those we love generally come after they have passed on. I can’t wait to give that tribute because, quite frankly, I may get my heavenly-orders before she gets hers. One advantage of marrying young has been that I have had many years, not only…
It’s Not Easy – But It Is Sure Worth It
I’m here in Austin where we had a sweet Father’s Day with my son and family. My son is a terrific father and I like to think that he is because of his dad who loved him so much and modeled a loving father and mentor to him. Father’s Day prompted the memories of so…
God Help Me! My Routine Went AWOL!
Routine: sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program, practice, pattern, regimen, plan, habits, schedule My routine, first thing each morning, is to send a text message to my children, and my sister-in-law. Just a few love words to let them know that I was thinking about them and praying for them. My next morning…
Mary, Did You Know?
My claim to fame….if it weren’t for me — my children wouldn’t be. And God needed a vessel — one He favored above ALL women — to be the Mother of Jesus. He chose Mary to BE the First Lady of our Faith. She was found faithful. And what faith she had! She was the…
A Lion, A Bear, A Big Dude = Promotion
A couple of days ago, I shared about young David and his ability to withstand the taunts and threats of the giant, but all it took was confidence and knowing who he was as God’s representative (That giant was messing with the wrong guy!), and he took down that giant in one fell swoop! That…
Go Big or Go Home OR Little is Much When God is in it?
Today, BIG everything seems like such a BIG deal. Just go into a 7-Eleven store in Texas and they’ve got the Super “Big Gulp” Drinks, Oklahomans have Quik Trip where the drinks are the “BIG Q” drinks. Go into some fast food restaurant and we’re invited to SUPER SIZE our fries and drinks. There are…
JUST DO IT
Day 308 of Photo Inspirations — JUST DO IT! Yesterday’s Bible Study was on the Fruit of the Spirit’s quality of Faithfulness. What does “faithfulness” look like to you? If God is our standard for faithfulness, then we have a lot to measure up to. Just the thought of His faithfulness, overwhelms me. He…
He Calls You To Be Faithful
Day 173 of Photo Inspirations — God Called Us to Be Faithful I just returned home from an amazing ACTS Retreat in Luther, OK. No words can describe the undeniable presence of God that we experienced in all the intricacies of the retreat. We just knew God’s love, peace, and joy was all in each…
Lion + Bear + Big Dude = Promotion
I posted about David and his Giant, yesterday! Just wanted to add….a P.S. to that post! David DID win that epic battle with Goliath, but God had prepared him in the trenches, in the “small” things. David was faithful to fulfill his responsibilities. David did anything God asked him to do. When he faced the…
