A couple of days ago I found this soft shell turtle while walking. This turtle was so very tired. Today while walking I found these eggs that have been devoured and found a piece of shell away from the other eggs. It looks like one may have been spared. I’m guessing raccoons found them. God will leave the 99 and go to the one. Maybe He sent me to help this one? I covered the one remaining egg just in case it’s God plan for this one to thrive. It …
Where Does My Strength Come From?
Some days I wonder. Humility is looking back on my life and realizing God was there all along. God is closer than your next breath. God knows the sound of my cry and has always been there to pick me up when I fall. When I am weak, He is strong. There’s security in knowing the one true God. Psalms 57:1 – “Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.” Dianne Petrey
Everything For Good
It’s hard for me to understand God’s plan for me; what the blueprint of my future looks like. When bad things happen, unfortunately I start to worry. But when hope kicks in, my faith arises, God shines through. God didn’t promise me an easy life, but He does promise a hopeful future. Everything works out for my good. I know that now. God is good and His plans are good. Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” …
What Are We Holding Onto
We work, we save, we retire, then what? Some of us hold onto money like it’s going to save us in the end. Jesus taught to give to the poor, the needy. Are we doing that? We will all leave this world as we came in; with nothing. No money, no clothes, cars, etc. Only one thing survives in this world. Our souls. Give your life to Jesus; hold onto Him and His promises. 1 Timothy 6:10 – “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the …
Cornerstone
Unmoved by anything. This is my God. As a Christian, we should model this. No matter what life throws at us, we need to carry on. God, who has always been, is our Creator, our rock, our foundation for life. The cornerstone is laid first at the head corner and governs every other corner and every angle in the entire building and thus determines the place every other stone is to be laid. What is your foundation made of? Psalm 18:31 – “For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?” Dianne Petrey
Stumble
Just as a child learns to walk, Christians shuffle around at times as if they’re on shaky ground. And as a mother is there just in time to catch her toddler in a fall, God is near when we lose our balance. Trust in God. Always. If you’re a Christian, God is directing your steps so you can fulfill the plan He has for you. He can show you the right choices and lead you down the best path. He will show you which step to take to keep you going the right way. Don’t waver on the journey. God’s …

It’s about the Journey
“Faith” is a word that is as common to our Christian dialogue as the words “Jesus Christ”, “salvation” or “pray.” Many of us use it at least once a day, everyday. It is a vague idea, a concept thrown around by believers and nonbelievers alike, and is easily minimized or misunderstood. If you are like me, you don’t often stop and really look at the role faith plays in each aspect of life. So, what does faith really look like in my life? Faith is a process. It is not something that we have once, in our moment of salvation, …
