Don’t allow the enemy to use past wounds for future gains

I’m sharing this previous post again today just in case someone else, besides just me, needs it….❤️ What should have been a day of relaxing and laughing with friends while tubing on the Little River in the Smoky Mountains turned into a terrifying moment for me. I had floated that river for years. The sunContinue reading “Don’t allow the enemy to use past wounds for future gains”

I needed to remember this again.

I needed to remember this again today. It has to be strange, curious, and honestly, a little absurd, for those who do not fear the Lord, to watch those who do, deal with things like CoVid, and even the craziness of our country, right now. What those, who do not fear the Lord, or perhapsContinue reading “I needed to remember this again.”

Will you be able to stand?

Right now, we are seeing the winds of hard days and our “cancel culture” blowing away those who aren’t planted with deep roots in biblical truth. Psalm 1 compares those who follow God to a strong tree planted by rivers of refreshing water and goes on to say, “The ungodly are not so, but areContinue reading “Will you be able to stand?”

Characteristics of the HAPPY person—

The happy, blessed person does not do some things but does do other things. She does not—Walk in the counsel of the ungodly,Stand in the path of sinnersSit in the seat of the scornful. (Psalms 1:1) The happy person makes a conscious effort about who they hang out with, and who they allow to speakContinue reading “Characteristics of the HAPPY person—”

A question for you-

Blessed. Sometimes it seems like such an overused “church word”. I’ve heard people, going through awful times, detail their circumstances then they say, unconvincingly “but I’m blessed”. And honestly, sometimes, it seems like they think they should say that, but they don’t really mean it. But as we open Psalms 1, there it is, theContinue reading “A question for you-“

Some days are just Psalms days. Do you know what I mean?

Some days are just Psalm days.Do you know what I mean? I turn to the Psalms often when I need comfort, when I need to remember God sees human emotion—like the emotion I might be feeling, and even included songs portraying those emotions in His Bible. In the Psalms, we see real people expressing realContinue reading “Some days are just Psalms days. Do you know what I mean?”

Early Morning Momma Thoughts

It’s dark outside.I’m up early. And my heart is sad and happy all at the same time. It’s a momma heart and it’s just apt to be like that. My youngest will graduate college today. She’s already married and living on her own. In a couple weeks, my only one left at home will closeContinue reading “Early Morning Momma Thoughts”

Get Used To Different!

The widely popular show, The Chosen, (I love it!) has a saying, “Get used to different”. People are buying out all the show’s shirts that say this. The point is, to emphasize, how, after Jesus comes into our lives, we are different. He changes us and things look different because of Him. When the worldContinue reading “Get Used To Different!”

Those who swear by Him, shall see His GLORY!

In the quiet,in the still,perhaps in the sanctuaryof the early morning,David wrote,“O God, You are my God;Early will I seek You;My flesh longs for YouIn a dry and thirsty landWhere there is no water.I have looked for You in the sanctuary.To see Your power and Your glory.” (Ps 63:1-2) In the sanctuary of the earlyContinue reading “Those who swear by Him, shall see His GLORY!”

Wrinkles, Nose Hairs, (overwhelming thoughts) and Jesus

Are you facing an overwhelming week? Are things bothering you more than you wish they were? God laid this on my heart a few years ago about how to battle these thoughts- Wrinkles, Nose Hairs and Jesus(God isn’t just the God of “He did” or “He is”. He is also the God of “He will”Continue reading “Wrinkles, Nose Hairs, (overwhelming thoughts) and Jesus”

SAVE the MEN!

Men.All day long they are being bashed. Just because they were born male, men seem to be taking a hit in our culture. As a wife, and a mom of sons, as a woman who loves my husband, my dad, my brother, my son-in-law, and my nephews, too, this makes me incredibly sad. For years,Continue reading “SAVE the MEN!”

I LOVE MEN. And the PLOY of the enemy.

We live off a long private road, not serviced by the county, and had a huge tree fall last night blocking our little neighborhood. In a matter of moments, the neighborhood guys all showed up. Pickup trucks, ATVs, and multiple chainsaws buzzed. We were out when the tree fell, and couldn’t get back to ourContinue reading “I LOVE MEN. And the PLOY of the enemy.”

a STRANGE passage and peace

For years, I had read this somewhat strange passage and wondered what it meant— “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and putContinue reading “a STRANGE passage and peace”
