Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head— such as your complex mysteries and wonders— that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its …
I’m such a baby when it comes to being sick. I was ready to put on my running shoes and get busy writing my novel again when I came down with a stupid cold. Now all I want to do is sit around in my pjs and read until I’m better. Oh! And eat. I …
Know the importance of the season you’re in and a wise (per)son you will be. But what a waste when an incompetent (per)son sleeps through his day of opportunity! Proverbs 10:5 TPT (parenthesis are mine) Don’t you love when God speaks clearly by multiple avenues? That’s been my experience this week. Between my Bible plan …
All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things build people up. 1 Corinthians 10:23 NASB2020 Do you have sticky things in your life?

Out of all the wonderful speakers I think I got the most out of his workshop. The number one takeaway for me was, my depression is not a sin that needs …
I had to take a few days to recover from my trip to California. Between travel, the WCCW Conference, visiting relatives, and coming home only to jump back into other commitments, I’m ready to settle in and write. On the first day of the conference, I attended an intensive workshop on marketing with Marci Seither. …
Do you ever find yourself singing along to a song without hearing the words? Jesus exhorts—“Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” (Matthew 11:15 NLT) So, my inspiration for this post came from a song on the radio, that when I listened, touched on some amazing scriptures.

I’m looking forward to writing on this topic, it’s something God is working on in my own life. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:25-26 ESV …
