In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my go to: 911 number for years. Get it? Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” It is my 911 call for daily protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God…
Trusting God in the Senseless
Yesterday I blogged about the times when we MUST trust! We have a host of reasons to have a problem with trusting, especially when it comes to relationships and our heart gets broken or when dreams crush or our dream vacation turns into a nightmare or when we’re let down by a sickness reoccurrence. We…
Having a God-is-in-Control Mindset
Thank goodness, the election is over. Congrats to the winners of of the political races because now we can breathe easier.

Time Out for Thanksgiving

We’ve Only Just Begun to Live

But, before I go to that high…
I’m Making My Declaration of DEPENDENCE
DEPENDENCE: depending on or relying on others for support INDEPENDENCE: not depending on or relying on others We live in a culture that teaches us that it is possible, and in fact preferable to be “INDEPENDENT”… free from responsibility, accountability, and from moral and Godly values.

I’m Trusting in the Lord With All My Heart!
When I lived in Tulsa and headed up a Life Group in my home, I bought several of these little plates to give to the gals on their birthday. I’d add some yummy treats to the gift, but the words from Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” was the most important…
