Sent with Confidence
Have you ever stopped to think that we are God’s ambassadors?Not someday. Not when we feel ready. Not when we’ve memorized enough Scripture or feel “qualified.” Right now! “Therefore, we are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us.” 2 Corinthians 5:20 That’s not a small assignment. But it’s also not a…
How Beautiful are YOUR Feet?
Let’s be honest. Feet aren’t exactly the stars of the show. Most of us tuck them into shoes, hide them under socks, or hope nobody notices them at the pool. Some feet are knobby, some are crooked, and some look like they’ve walked on gravel roads. But God sees something different. The prophet Isaiah wrote,…
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil?
It doesn’t take much these days to realize there’s a whole lotta darkness out there. But that shouldn’t surprise us — it’s been around for hundreds of years. But, in our day and time, all we have to do is open our phone, turn on the TV, scroll social media, or listen to someone who…
Who is Speaking into Your Life?
At the very beginning of time, God SPOKE creation into existence! He literally spoke life. Not only that, He said that what He had spoken into existence was good and made well. Does that speak as loudly to anyone else as it does to me? This means that our words matter. We are created in…

I’m Still Here – and I’m So Grateful
This is the day the Lord made ME, and I’m so grateful He did. Not that I’m leaving this earth any time soon, I’ve told my family that I want the song by Cece Winans “I Will Sing of the Goodness of God”, to be sung at my Celebration of Life – which will be…
When Rock Bottom Turns Out to Be Solid Ground
They say when you hit rock bottom, there’s nowhere to go but up. But what if I told you that rock bottom isn’t the end — it’s the beginning? At a recent Women’s Spring event at my church, I heard the speaker share her story — father walked out, heart broken and many other issues…
Celebrate the Good News!
Don’t you love those words, “Good News”? I remember my early years as a Christian and how difficult it was for me to share God’s “Good News” to those around me. Sure, I did my best to be a reflection of Christ’s likeness in my words and deeds in everyday life, but I wasn’t what…
Nothing can Separate Us from God’s Love
Doesn’t that give us reassurance at the end of a day when we feel less than loved by anyone, including ourselves? God’s love for us is unwavering and eternal. Imagine that! No matter what happens, nothing can destroy our relationship with Him. This truth has the power to transform our lives. Romans 8:38-39 assures us,…
Time Sure Flies
Holy moly! Can you believe it? We’ve already blown through half of this year. Before we know it, we’ll be pulling out our Christmas decor’ and creating gift lists. Remember when we were kids, and time seemed to crawl? Waiting for summer vacation felt like an eternity. I know time is crawling for my grandson…
