Get humble and resist the enemy of your soul.  Draw near to God and He draws near to you as you submit.  And then in His time you will be exalted.  How marvelous.  

In troubled times knowing that God's Word holds everything in balance brings peace.  

Grateful for the privilege of having children and so glad God is my midst. 

The question Judas asked Jesus that was soo powerfully answered.  

Do you know what your influence is in others, are you an encouragement?

Because of His great love for us....that is why we are not consumed.  

Real love looks deeply within searching for the places not yet exposed to the richness of love.  

How wonderful is the gift of grace Paul received, what good news it is that we all have the same grace extended to us in Christ Jesus.

"A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." Nothing better than a soul that prospers.  :)

How well is it with you when your soul is not at rest?  Is it your soul or is it your flesh?   Can you really have peace like a river? 

When God asks a question you know He knows the answer and yet He asks, giving us the opportunity to explain and respond.  

The sorrow the disciples felt knowing Jesus was going, the nevertheless that they would hear of then receive.  Power in it's purest form.  

We are known and loved regardless of how deep the struggle or how much we need to change, God is willing to work in us and He is for us.  

It is remarkable to me to think that Jesus, when called "good teacher," responded with the question;  "Why do you call me good?"  His answer reveals soo much, "Only God is good."  

One body, united, building each other up, growing in every way and speaking the truth in love.  

It's easier to understands God's justice when I'm looking for forgiveness, harder when someone who has hurt me gets that same justice.  I'm still a work in progress.  

God's faithfulness to us is about so much more than marriage.

God is able to forgive and forget, we can forgive and possibly forget, depending on the severity of the offence.  

If He forgives, why don't we forgive ourselves?

"As a human thinks in their heart, so they are."  Proverbs 23:7 Who do you think you are versus who others say you are, and whose voice do you listen to?

Becoming aware of what's around you, who is for you and how much you are loved, regardless of what is happening to or for you, is a vital part of your journey through life.  

In the tough times it's good to remember grace.  We all have a right to choose and whatever choice we make, whether you agree or not, does not determine our value....merely our differences.  

To prosper is to flourish in soo many ways.  To be the most prosperous person, to me, is to know that it is well with my soul.  To prosper is to know that God will meet all of our needs.  

The title seems like a no brainer, however, we humans like to dwell on garbage handed to us and created by us, it needs to be taken out.  

Let people love you in their way, know that you are loved unconditionally by God and make good choices.   Change is hard, necessary and soo worth it.  

Out of the heart our mouth speaks.  What are you saying about you?  

Testing produces perseverance and perseverance produces faith.   "Faith grows in the garden of adversity." JLM

Kindness is something we all have in us to give, now would be a great time to make a big difference in even a small way.  

The good thing about guilt is that it brings about change "if" we learn from it, acknowledge it, apologize and grow. 

A "situational" diagnosis does not mean that your condition, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual, cannot be overcome.  We need to remember that situations change and God is a very present help in our times of troubles.  

What is written on your heart?  Answer...Your letter of recommendation, not one using ink but one written by the Holy Spirit, then your beautiful unveiled face can reflect the glory of God in Christ Jesus.

I wonder if we knew that our grumbling kept us from our blessing and made our journey longer, if we'd quit grumbling.

Looking not to conform to what others need us to be, but rather to be transformed as we renew our minds and accept that no two people are alike.

Assumptions can separate, cause division and broken hearts that lie wounded in the wake of the waves of assumption.

"Our lives are a series of stories, turned one page at a time." You decide how the story goes.

We have come to a place where we will do anything to prove our opinion is right, without making sure we are sure...about that.  

When you are forced to wear a mask does the light still shine on your face?  Have you put a veil over your face, forgetting that you are unveiled and a reflection of the light of Jesus?  Love much, judge very little.  

We are looking for the evidence that Covid 19 will end and we look for the evidence that "all" things will work out for our good, and the good of others...you can be assured that it will.  :)

This Halloween, 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic, was a great reminder of what matters in life.  It's not all bad.  

"Change is hard but...life in the same lane is even harder."  

Being grateful no matter what is happening around you bears fruit and that fruit is...joy and peace that goes beyond what you can understand.    

The positive side of of a global pandemic is sharing the help we receive with those who need help, and holding one another up.

If you are going to spread something, and if you don't want to catch it later, be careful how you handle it and what you do with it.

Thoughts lead to actions which can put us in places we do and don't want to be in.  Thoughts can also lead to regrets.

Complaining isn't always a bad thing...grumbling however can lead to long term difficulty.

It's not about the physical reflection, it is an inward reflection that comes from a long look at who you are and who you could be...with growth.

We need the power available to us through Christ to be light in the darkness, peace in the storm and know that our best choices bring peace to others and ourselves.

It's time to use our voices for good and not for evil, time to contribute to make a difference for the innocent ones who cannot help themselves.  Together we can, and must work hard for change. 

We need change, we need to love like God does, without condition, we need to recognize we can do better...together.

Through this crazy virus and a host of other storms that come our way, what is it we learn and who is our best teacher?
