Hey, do you need a bit o' inspiration? When my world fell apart, and I began rebuilding my life, God told me I was free from lies and to quit living small. God had a plan when He created me, and with Him, I could fulfill that plan. I found this quote early in that… Continue reading Don’t Tell Me
I was reading this morning in James using my favorite translation, The Passion Translation, and was caught by the simple yet powerful words in chapter 1 verses 3 and 4. “For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up power within you to endure all things. And then as your endurance grows… Continue reading God’s Gym: Hard Times Build Our Faith Muscles
Busy. So very busy. Overwhelmed. Keeping up. Appearances. Tasks and “to do”s. He came into our world quietly. This birth was the most extravagant act of love in all of creation.Like all babies, pushing his way into the middle of people, some who would love, some who would hate. Some who would worship and adore,… Continue reading Your Heart
We were created to praise God. He created us for His glory, and there is nothing that reflects His glory more than giving Him honor and praise for Who He is! But what if we don't know how?
Did the title grab your attention? Well, what I read the other day in John 7 sure stopped me in my tracks! Let me know if it does you.

It's a real process, for sure. It takes time--for me, several decades. It's not a pleasant… Continue reading Onion Layers
How do you know that someone is worthy of your trust? Most likely it's because they have proven themselves to you: they are dependable, they have kept your secret, they are loyal and supportive of you. It takes time, usually, to establish trust in someone. And a kind of "testing". God knows that it isn't… Continue reading Can We Trust God?
I like how The Passion Bible translates this... "Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight." I'd much rather be overwhelmed with God's presence filling me with delight than anxious thoughts. It's so amazing that He invites us to give all… Continue reading Anxiety Quote
From the book Indestructible by Blake Healy, these sentences really grabbed my attention: "The enemy is fighting to get you to see things his way because a simple act can release a massive amount of God's goodness, leaving a mark that can last for generations." Satan does not want us to realize the… Continue reading Focus On The Light
