Suiting Up for a Battle Win
At the Vincentian Family Center, my co-worker and I saw two keychains with a large coin engraved with a soldier armed for battle. They were donated for us to sell. At first sight, we didn’t recognize it, but then at a closer look, we saw a strong warrior with his sword and shield. I flipped…
God’s Timing is Everything
Yes, it is! I can’t begin to list off the number of times we’ve been at the right place at the right time, and at the wrong place at the wrong time. When in the right place, it seemed God had us all wrapped up, tied up in Him and His marvelous ways. At the…
Dare to be Bold
I’m not talking about “stupid” boldness where we take dangerous risks, but being bold for God, ourselves, and others. Yep! That’s me! I own it! Unlike the shy, timid, and insecure child that I was, hiding behind my mama, over time and with the help of my pushy husband, I came out of my cocoon.…
Is Your Prayer Closet Cluttered?
The answer to that question for me is “Yes, it is!” Now, I live in a downsized apartment and every closet is filled to the brim. So, I don’t really have a prayer closet. I have a prayer chair. It’s my cozy-down place, often taking a little shut-eye there, watching some TV there, but more…
Could this be our “For Such a Time as This” Moment?
It’s a phrase tossed around frequently. We’ll see shirts, hats, mugs, and social media posts that proudly ring out, “for such a time as this”. I know I use it a lot to impress upon someone that they are living in God’s divine destiny and purpose and it’s NOW time to step up and act…
Is this the Moment for Which We Were Created?
I almost bought this metal wall hanging, shown here, because it spoke to me. I took a photo instead. It spoke to me because I remember at the birth of my children – I knew I was created to bring them into this world. It spoke to me because there have been times when I…
Boldly Moving from the Back Seat to the Front Seat
We’ve taken the back seat long enough. We’ve allowed others to drive us to places (figuratively speaking) where we really didn’t want to go. But because we’re good back seat listeners rather than front seat speakers, we are complacent, quiet, and seem agreeable to wherever they go and whenever they go there. Instead of sitting…
For Such a Time As This
Queen Esther is one of my heroes of faith. Her example proves my point about being motive-driven. I love her story. 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, are having to make some really tough life decisions…
Wonder Woman Could Fly; Eagles Can Fly, If They Try, and So Can You and I
As a private pilot, I know that before I could get my pilot’s license, I had to take many hours of “ground” school first — to learn everything I needed to know about the airplane, what makes it fly, the weather, distance measurement and so much more. The more I had to be in ground school,…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my post was about the willingness to get out of our comfort zone. In other words…dare to be BOLD! When my sweetheart passed away, I had to become a take-charge, confident, fearless and BOLD gal. I played the “widow” card for a while and it worked in negotiations for my new home, getting some…
