I was pondering this week about an upcoming trip and what items, what clothing and so forth I would need to take with me.  My mind runs over the thoughts of how many suitcases I will take and I instantly wander back to the trips I have taken in the past that I was required…

I once ministered with a couple who by all appearances struggled deeply with their finances. Their home life was one that no person should have to experience. My heart ached for them because I knew by all accounts the Lord had something far more greater in store for them, if they would trust him to…

Several month’s ago, I saw a picture of a little girl standing on a table, I don’t know maybe she was 5 or 6 but she was standing in front of a full length body mirror and holding up  a long white wedding dress to herself.   Looking at her, you would see an ordinary little…

I was reminded of a dream I once had.  I’m not sure why we dream dreams in the way we do but what I do know about this dream, is the power that is in the name of Jesus! The dream: Larry and I were on a camping trip.  Now mind you I am not…

”¶For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him, For my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭62‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬ I have had to deal with my own personal attacks, betrayal of trust,…

As I was reading from a devotional today the message was on “Spiritual Roots” What does this mean for me? If Gods word is life to me as a river is to trees, then I should have stronger roots. It is obvious the trees need the nourishment of the water to aide in its growth.…

I was recently in a conversation with a friend who was really struggling in her Christian walk. The more we talked the more her heart became revealed to me. As I listened to her and the reality of the decisions that she had been making, all I could think about in that moment was how…

My 10-year-old granddaughter had been talking about being baptized for several weeks so I told her the next time she came in for a visit we would talk with the Pastor. Several weeks passed and I hadn’t mentioned it to her only because I had not thought of it myself, but she had not forgotten…

What Is Your Truth” I completed a Bible study online once about “Trusting God While You Wait”. The theme of it was wrapped around Joseph and what his bothers did to him out of their jealousy. Joseph went through a lot before becoming the overseer of Egypt, even after all that he endured he remained…

As I sit on the balcony from the ninth floor of the hotel overlooking the water, the trees, the boats, piers and people down below with a light haze that overshadows the area, It’s quiet, peaceful, and very serene. The people are loading on the boats to set out for a day of fishing. As…

I love going to the beach. I’m not much about actually getting into the water, especially if I can’t see my feet.  However, I do love to go out and sit on the waters edge where the water will just slowly roll over the top of my feet while I bask in the sun.  This week my…

Have you asked? Have you talked to the one who truly hear’s you? There’s not an elaborate way that God would desire us to talk with him. In James chapter 4 scriptures tell us of ways why we do not receive from God, it reveals the possible consequences of man. So, in reading this morning;…
