“Fasting” From the World?

I've been reading through Matthew 6. Today as I read verse 24, “How can you serve two masters”, I saw there was a footnote. I love The Passion Translation! The translators have taken all the original language writings, and then more, to give us a more accurate verbiage. The footnote said, “There is found after… Continue reading “Fasting” From the World?

I Needed A Miracle

How many of you know that a devastated and shattered heart can be as debilitating as a disease of the body? I've felt this in my depths.

Do Not Listen to the Voice of Fear!

  “But Jesus refused to listen to what they were saying”, and said to Jairus—who had just been told his daughter had died, they were too late, no need to bother Jesus with this anymore—“Don’t yield to fear. All you need to do is keep on believing.” See Mark 5 for the account. Jesus proceeded… Continue reading Do Not Listen to the Voice of Fear!

God Listens, God Heals, God Loves

Just a post to let you see how God works in our lives.. I had a pretty difficult session with God this morning. He revealed a root in my heart that He needed to pull out.

Focus! It seems we are always hearing how important focus is to reaching our goals and bringing our desires to us. However, sometimes our focus is totally off. We work hard, do what we think we should, spin our wheels, and run faster on the hamster wheel, only to remain stagnant. Why do you suppose… Continue reading Numb Choices Aren’t Smart

Are You Believing Lies?

So many of us hold as truth the myths, or lies, that govern our lives, our choices, and our behaviors! I know I did (at time I still do, I'm sure). BUT...Who taught us these lies/myths we believe are true? The old adage "If you tell a lie long enough it becomes truth to you"… Continue reading Are You Believing Lies?

Live Life With Eyes and Heart Wide Open!

It seems that many of us go through life flinching, with our arms flung out across our eyes, wary of what might be coming our way. We guard our hearts against deep, emotional interactions in order to stay safe. Because for us to embrace living with our eyes wide open and with our hearts made… Continue reading Live Life With Eyes and Heart Wide Open!
