Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17 (NIV) I want to share a day in our life that happened a few years ago. God reminded me of it today and it always brings me to tears. The day began as […]
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. (NLT) This is the scripture that came to mind on day, several years ago, as the principal of Brailee’s school shared a story with […]
This morning, as I drove to work, the Lord reminded me of something He taught me a couple years ago. I knew I had written about it before. I also knew He was telling me to revisit it. I want to share it with you today, as I feel some of us may need this […]
Have you ever had a day or a situation occur when you decided, I AM DONE WITH THIS, I AM NOT TAKING IT ANOTHER MOMENT!? I know I have. Actually, I had one of those this week. When I have moments like that, I am always reminded of the scripture in Genesis 27:40 that says; […]
I never tire of the things God teaches me and reminds me of during planting season. One day, a few months ago, I was preparing some Kennebec potatoes to put in the garden. I was sitting down, cutting them in quarters or halves, making sure there were several eyes present on each cutting. That is […]
Jerry Savelle had a saying that I love… “every day is a blessing day!” This is what came to mind as I thought about a time Bre and I were looking for a vehicle. Allow me to explain. That day, we really had no idea which direction to go and what to look for, Breanne […]
Have you ever had one of those days when things were going wrong one after another? Or where those around you are facing challenges and were bringing those frustrations to you? I think we have all had days like that. I know I have. Just a few days ago I had a day when the […]
It is during the darkest moments of our life that we must shift our focus to clearly see the light. I thought of this today as my daughter shared an insightful truth with me. My daughter battles anxiety at times. When driving, there are some long bridges over deep waters that cause her anxiety. She […]
This morning as I was walking into the prayer room to record the weekly audio partner prayer, my mind was going over all the things I needed to get done this week. As I was thinking about what I needed to get done on Monday, the Lord arrested my thoughts. He stopped me in my […]
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; […]
Several years ago, I was on the phone, sharing with my friend Vicki, about my Mom’s upcoming wedding. My Mom, who was 77 years young at the time, was getting married. She had been a single mom for more than forty years. I was telling Vicki how happy my Mom was and how the feelings […]
Have you ever been given a word from God that you didn’t want to hear? I have. Even though I didn’t want to hear them, I knew they were straight from God. When I think of this truth, I think about Moses. Remember when God told him to go to Pharaoh and demand he let […]
It was Saturday morning; I was driving to my office to catch up on some work. Music was playing on my media player. As one song came to an end and another began to play, it captured my attention. It was a song I have listened to many times, but today, God began to show […]
I once read a word that was quite profound. One I believe relates to many seasons in our life. The word was… The enemy has been and is attacking the very area God is breathing upon in your life. So be encouraged that great increase and fruitfulness is being released in that part of your […]
Today, God reminded me of a dream I once had. I believe that dream is for THIS season. In the dream, my daughter, her family and I were traveling to a certain destination. I assumed it was an adventure of sorts because we weren’t traveling on highways, instead we traveled the back roads. Although I […]
I was reading an email from one of our partners today about what they had gone through the past several years; it was a great deal of loss and pain. As I continued to read, I began to feel like the Lord spoke a phrase to me about how this person perceived things, through the […]
Yesterday as I was visiting with a friend when the Lord began to show me some things about this season we are in. Excitedly, I said to this friend, “There are no limits here, only in our mind.” She replied, “That’s why we are to have faith like a child, they don’t consider the logistics […]
Yesterday was a busy day for me. I got up early, made some food to take to my cousin who is in the hospital. Once that was prepared, I loaded my vehicle and headed out to do my errands, plugging in my phone as I went so I could listen to worship music on the […]
So that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. Matthew 18:16 From my experience, God always confirms His Word. He will often tell me the same thing over and again through several different people, until He gets my attention. When He does that, it is HIM, confirming His word. I […]
In recent years, many of us have learned to stop speaking negative words over our lives, our children, our bodies, and our finances. That is a good thing! But are we also consistently speaking blessings over these same things? It’s not enough to stop speaking negative words. If our desire is to see life all […]
