I woke up Thursday morning with this article on my heart. God was feeding me the answers in a dream. There are so many things that people believe are from the Bible, that are not. Some aren’t even close. This is one reason that we need to be in the Word and remember what we…

What does a godly life look like? The Bible is full of answers to that question. Many books, magazine articles, and even movies have been written on the subject. If I were to boil it down to one sentence I think it would look something like…Humble yourself in obedience to God, giving up your ways…

I have been getting a lot of inspiration from Pinterest lately. This adorable photo made me smile and question myself,  “Do I ever do this?” Yes, I believe I do, on ovcasion, but I would like to do it a whole lot more! What about you? We should wake up in the morning smiling because…

A few friends and I started a journaling group last October. We only meet once a month, but it is very interesting. We start with one or more possible journaling prompts, or we can just write a prayer or about whatever is on our minds. Then we share what we write. Yesterday I wrote about…

We’re just a week past Christmas and most of the Christmas decorations are already put away. Out of sight out of mind. Many people do not realize that Christmas is not just a day, but a season. Today is the eighth day of Christmas. But even more than a day or a season, Christmas is…

In the fullness of time God births His plan and purpose for each of His children’s lives. For Zechariah and Elizabeth as with their ancestors Abraham and Sarah it was literally a birth of a child to elderly people who had been unable to have children. You may ask, why would God make them wait…
