There are so many things that I have sorted thru, and filed this week… Â letters, jotted notes, legal and insurance papers, sticky notes, etc. Â In so much of it, I found where my father’s life and my life intertwined. Â He wanted to take care of those who he loved. Â He wanted to help us succeed. Read More

Standing Alone or With the Crowd?
Yesterday, as my husband and I were driving on a back road and the wind was blowing strongly against the car, I had a thought. Â It wasn’t an original thought, I’m sure someone has had this thought and I probably heard it sometime in my life… but this time, it was something that has stuck Read More
James 5:16-18
Today as I was studying my CDC (Christian Development Course) lesson, I was reading this passage. Â The AMP version says, “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. Â Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution Read More
God’s Promises – Mother’s Day Sermonette
Not too long ago, the Lord woke me up in the middle of the night to pray… and I felt an overwhelming assurance of His love through the promises that He has already given us in His Word. I can’t begin to tell you how blessed I have been. Oh, I’ve had hardships, but even in Read More
God’s Wonderful Word
Daily, I have been finding nuggets that minister to me in such a special way. Â As I was reading this morning, I read Psalm 28:7… The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and Read More
Psalms 20
1MAY THE Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high [and defend you]; 2Send you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh, and strengthen you from Zion; 3Remember all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah [pause, and think of that]! Read More
I Will Trust.
Lord, I don’t understand everything You do… I don’t think I should desire to. I only know to trust and believe that you love my father… more than me. You are a constant in this storm… a constant strength that I draw from. At times I feel so overwhelmed, but then you rush in and Read More
Day 6 of 2011
Today as I study the Word of God, I come across a beautiful passage. Â Psalm 5:3. “In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].” AMP Simple, yet so beautifully said. Lord… I Read More
Happy New Year!
I can’t believe that 2010 is already over and we have launched into 2011. Â And, now, the first day of the year is almost over (11:52 pm). Every year, around this time, we think of what we could change about ourselves… how we will better ourselves, try harder to do this or that… etc. Â And Read More
Confidence in God
As I was praying and reading this morning, I came across a passage of scripture that I have probably read many times, but it never hit me like it did today. I love how the Word of God does that. He knows when you need a nugget or that encouragement. He is beyond words in Read More
