You Will Make It

Whatever you are facing today, just remember these words, You Will Make It. I went through a tough experience in life that I never thought I would have to face. It wasn’t a part of my plan, and it did not make it in my book of life accomplishments. However, life happened, and I went […]

Leaning on Your Own Understanding

How many of you have made a decision based on what you thought the other person was thinking, or how you thought they would respond? Recently, God reminded me of a time when I had leaned on my own understanding. Had I ignored God and not corrected what He was revealing to me, then the […]

Stop Thinking Small!

I don’t serve a small God. I was going to start off with the pronoun “we,” but I recognize some people think they are still in control. So, maybe I should say it this way, GOD is not small. The Creator of the heavens and earth (Genesis 1:1) and the one who holds us […]

The Past is the Past

Are you sitting at home reflecting on your past? Thinking about your past mistakes…going over the woulda, coulda, shoulda? Now that so many of us are self-isolating at home, without the distractions of the office and day-to-day running around, it may be easier to fall into that place of self-doubt and self-despair, over analyzing past mistakes […]

Just get back up…

While I was recently out for a jog, I passed a house where a woman was taking out her trash. We spoke as I passed by. She said she needed to be outside doing the same thing. I quickly told her I was getting back into the groove myself (I had been off my workout […]

Forgiveness – the time is now

I prayed on a topic this week and immediately the word forgiveness came to mind. I have to be honest; I immediately searched my heart to make sure I wasn’t harboring any unforgiveness. Unforgiveness can linger at times and you may not even know it. Sometimes we utter the words to God in prayer that we forgive […]

Matters of the Heart: Revenge

In my Bible Study Group we’re reading the Book of Ezekiel. As I was praying on what to write this week, the verse in Ezekiel 5:13 caught my attention. I’ll let you grab your Bible and read it for yourself, but this verse struck me when God said “Then my anger will cease and my […]

One of the days out the year that retailers have a boost in sales from Valentine’s Day cards, candy, flowers, jewelry, etc. This is the one day that so many people choose to confess their love to one another by getting engaged and even […]

Forgiveness

I decided to post early this week, since Christmas is on Tuesday. I believe the topic of Forgiveness is so important to discuss, especially in light of this special day. When I first started blogging, I made up in my mind that I wanted to be truthful and open to share how God has changed […]
