Just before full daylight a couple of weeks ago, the thunder we had experienced most of the night changed. It rolled and rolled and rolled. I stopped what I was doing so I could listen more intently. For a moment I thought it might be a tornado, it was that long and loud of a rumble. Later I got a text from a daughter who wondered the same thing. Last night I read that a prayer warrior I know had passed away yesterday and I couldn’t help but wonder if the heavenlies roared as she went home to be with …
Good Fight of Faith
This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it. The worries of yesterday cannot affect you today. Rise up friends, today is a new day. Philippians 4:4 declares “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” Take some time to rejoice in what the Lord has done for you. If He woke you up and you have breath Rejoice, He is don’t done with you. He has a plan fo your life, now is not the time to give up and give in. Isaiah 41:9-10 says …
You Are A Gift
I saw a funny Christmas graphic recently that I saved and sent to a couple of friends who are having issues. It read “Gonna go lay under the tree to remind my family that I am a gift”. If my hubby caught me laying under the tree he’d wonder what had happened to me! But the truth is – we all need an attitude adjustment. We are a gift. Every single one of us. Oh beloved, Christmas is the perfect time to adjust our attitudes. For some reason, even though the season is wild and wonderful, we often focus on …
Are You A Teacher?
When I was a girl I enjoyed teaching school. Generally school was held in the garage of our home. At one of the places we lived I even had a big chalk board! I assumed I’d grow up and be a teacher. And I did. But not the kind of teacher I thought. God has given me opportunities to teach about Him – and my major is on His love and His care. I needed to know that most of all, so as I learned about Him I have become more proficient at this subject. Proficiency is achieved through wisdom …
Coffee and Life Can Jolt Us!
I was intrigued by the new brand of coffee I spied. 50% of proceeds goes to veterans. Loved that! So instead of picking up our usual brand I picked up a bag of this new brand’s Rise and Shine light roast. Well when I made the pot of coffee it was delicious. But within a few minutes My chest hurt and I found myself jittery. I realized that this coffee actually has more caffeine, so I got a jolt to start my day! What do you drink of first thing? The troubles of the day, the losses you have had, the …
You’re Worth The Blessing
Danny and one of his best buds spent the evening sitting with yet another best bud. They did this to help his wife be able to come visit with us at a women’s retreat. So I got to be with two of my besties as well! Doesn’t God do amazing things for us? Oh beloved, God wants to do amazing things for you! He already has. But He also knows your heart’s desires. Deep things down inside you haven’t shared with anyone. Maybe you’ve hardly whispered in prayer to the Father about it. He says watch for it. Watch how …
Ask God For a Word
When we were dating I could hardly wait each day to hear Danny’s voice. Before cell phones I would have to wait till evening each day. I have loved his voice for many years now. On the second morning in hospital I asked him for a word. He quickly whispered “beauty for ashes”. Oh beloved, God whispers to you this morning those words as well. You might be mourning a situation today but God will make something beautiful. This exchange of our lives doesn’t come from happier situations it comes right in the middle of the worst. And it only …
