Do you need some confidence to face this New Year? Then focus on your sin for a moment. Here’s why… If we don’t understand the depths of our sin, we won’t understand the great love of our Savior enough to be able to confidently trust Him with our tomorrows. Let me explain… Luke tells us,Continue reading “Thoughts for a HAPPY NEW YEAR!”

I personally recommend this exercise program.
About this time every year, I start thinking about diet and exercise. Anybody else? But you know, strenuous spiritual exercise is better than physical exercise. This is powerful.This is supernatural.And it’s TRUE.And it’s in the Bible. Paul says to “exercise yourself toward godliness” (4:7). The dear old Apostle uses words like train, toil, and strive—Continue reading “I personally recommend this exercise program.”
Need hope?
There seems to be profound pain in people all around us and in our own lives too. Rarely is anything I write shared more than those posts dealing with struggles and pain. We are a people walking in a world full of trouble —so very thirsty for hope. No one is immune. Christians are notContinue reading “Need hope?”
A BAD DREAM
The dream felt like it lasted all night. I was running, hiding, jumping up and hiding again. I was locked in a house with others. We were all hiding. We saw the evil person coming. We had no power against her. I shook with fear frantically looking for some place to hide. And the alarmContinue reading “A BAD DREAM”
He came for these!
The Shepherds. They were the ones not invited to the party. But they were invited to be eyewitnesses to the greatest moment of all. The ones who had dirty hands, the tattered, smelly shepherds—too unclean to worship at the temple…were specifically chosen to come and see the Lamb who would make them forever clean. ForeverContinue reading “He came for these!”
Who do you celebrate? More of my story….
The angel said to the shepherds, “Fear not, for I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” There is good news of great joy because the Savior was born. Yet so many feel no joy. They remain unaffected by the familiarity of the Christmas story. So many, especiallyContinue reading “Who do you celebrate? More of my story….”
He is doing what He promised!
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God”. (Luke 18:27) No seriously, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27) Lately, I see so much that seems impossible. Will this pandemic ever end? Will our country ever come together in unity? Will we stop fighting with eachContinue reading “He is doing what He promised!”
You don’t have to box it up
The Christmas tree lights sparkle in the early morning dark. The candle flame dances. The smell of pine and cinnamon fill my home. I sit snuggled under a red Christmas blanket, piping hot coffee in my mug, my Bible in my lap. Sweet moments to savor. Christmas is almost here. Once again, it has comeContinue reading “You don’t have to box it up”
How many celebrate Christmas and miss true HOPE?
How many celebrate the birth of Christ, but still, hold tight to their sin instead of true hope? Of friend, as I look at this world, at the frailty of life highlighted by this pandemic, as I read prophecy, and as I remember the words of our Savior, “ I am coming quickly ”(Rev 22:20),—IContinue reading “How many celebrate Christmas and miss true HOPE?”
Lion of Judah!
I remember as a little girl peering around my mom trying to read the colorfully decorated banners being carried down the aisle at church for the annual Christmas program—each with different names of God. Names like:“King of Kings”“Lord of Lords”“Lion of Judah” For many years, I took those names for granted. I ran from God.Continue reading “Lion of Judah!”
No Fear
It is affecting the hearts and minds of many. I’m not saying we should not take this pandemic seriously, or take precautions. I’m not saying that at all. What I am seeing though is so incredibly sad and it breaks my heart. It’s fear without hope. It’s gripping. It’s suffocating. It’s consuming. Many. It’s notContinue reading “No Fear”
When I’m afraid, He helps me trust Him again.
I know, God, You love them more than I do….those whose names are heavy on my heart. I often find myself trying to say or do just the right thing in hopes they would find hope, joy, and peace in You. Oh God, that some would finally just surrender to You. In the middle ofContinue reading “When I’m afraid, He helps me trust Him again.”
Wise Men Still Seek (to follow) Him!
A wise pastor once explained to one of my children that salvation is one big decision to follow Jesus and then lots of daily decisions to keep following Him. To be a Christ-follower, means we no longer go our own way but follow Christ as Almighty God. We are to follow His way (as definedContinue reading “Wise Men Still Seek (to follow) Him!”
What if our quest for happiness will never satisfy us like THIS will?
I sat with a group of women the other night, and listened as a young mother described how “happy” she was that she has her young children in daycare 5 days a week from 8am – 5 pm. She has more time for herself and her husband. An older woman, a church-going, serve-the-community, woman lookedContinue reading “What if our quest for happiness will never satisfy us like THIS will?”
Mary’s Song
Mary, the teenage mother of Jesus, came from such humble means. The poor pregnant virgin, had heard the words of the angel, and responded with amazing peace and faith saying, “Let it be to me according to your Word.” (Luke 1:38). The unlikely girl, chosen by God to be the mother of His Son, theContinue reading “Mary’s Song”
You have this FRIEND, you know?
If you know the Lord, you’ve got the best friend you could ever have. Some people will never forget the bad things you’ve done. But God forgets. He remembers the sins of His children no more. (Heb 8:12) For years, I knew this without thinking about what that might look like. Lately, through my Dad’sContinue reading “You have this FRIEND, you know?”
Prophecy foretells His Return even more than His Birth!
Do you know these words from the prophet Isaiah were written 700 years before Jesus was born?? Isaiah 9:2The people walking in darknesshave seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of deatha light has dawned.Isaiah 9:6-7For to us a child is born,to us a son is given,and the government willContinue reading “Prophecy foretells His Return even more than His Birth!”
Is this the way you came?
I sit thinking of friend after friend.Story after story.Every one of them.Not one of them came another way. Those I know well, who love God so deeply, whose trust is rock-solid, who possess the sweetest peace and unshakable hope…they each have this in common—they came the way of suffering. I bet you know them too.Continue reading “Is this the way you came?”
When you don’t FEEL it…
It’s seems wrong to mention it now, at Christmas-time, but, surely, I’m not the only one who feels it sometimes. Well, I guess the better description would be “doesn’t feel it sometimes”. I have days I feel spiritually numb, and I believe the Lord has led me to share this during a time when weContinue reading “When you don’t FEEL it…”
Jesus is the Reason…for more than you think.
Jesus is the reason.And not just for the season. Jesus is the reason. He is the ABSOLUTE guarantee for those who call Him Lord. The Apostle Paul said, “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for hisContinue reading “Jesus is the Reason…for more than you think.”
