How many times have we been tempted by others who try to get us to do something we know isn’t right in God’s eyes? Maybe it’s to gossip. Maybe it’s to get angry. Maybe it’s to curse. Maybe it’s something worse. In Ephesians 5 Paul talks about not being sexually immoral. In today’s world this… Continue reading Empty Words

Did you know we are living in heavenly places right now? I’ve never thought deeply about this subject until lately. My daily Bible reading this morning was the book of Ephesians.

People used to ask one another, “What’s your story?” I haven’t heard it in a while, but I’ve asked it before.

If you were to get a letter from someone you loved and one who loved you greatly, how… Continue reading Letters

Well, on this Mother’s Day, I’d be remiss if I didn’t post about it. Being a mother is the most rewarding job anyone could ever have. It is also the hardest one. From the day you bring them home from the hospital, it is difficult to know what to do with and for those children.… Continue reading Mothers

If you’ve read my blog before, you know that I like to listen to music a lot. Sometimes when I clean our house, I listen to music. It helps me feel good and get it done quicker. So, yesterday I was cleaning and listening to Toby Mac radio on Pandora. This song came on I’d… Continue reading Beautiful!

In my daily Bible reading this morning from 1 Samuel 12, I couldn’t help but see this verse that jumped out at me! do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty. How many times do I turn to something or someone to find what only God can provide… Continue reading Empty….again!

The word strength is on my mind today. I try to listen to the Spirit and go where He leads me in my blog writing. I pray I do that humbly as He wills each day. We see strength in a lot of things as we live daily. Today we will see God’s strength in… Continue reading Strength
