Waiting. Ugh! I don’t know anyone who likes this word. And yet, so much of our lives is spent that way. One of the most visual forms of waiting is during pregnancy. Those of us on the “outside” can see progress toward that wonderful and beautiful day. However, the brain of the mom is constantly… Continue reading Waiting
She did have a choice, you know. What if she had looked at the angel and told him that there was no way, no how she was going to go along with this plan? Seriously? He somehow had chosen the wrong person. She was only a young teen and had never even had relations with… Continue reading What If Mary Had Said No?
“Laying down your life in tender surrender before the Lord will bring life, prosperity, and honor as your reward.” Proverbs 22:4 I’ve been praying that God will give me a long life filled with health and abundance in all things.
