Today, let’s look at some of the reasons we don’t get the answers we’re hoping for. This first scripture gives us two hints. Can you find them? You jealously want what others have so you begin to see yourself as better than others. You scheme with envy and harm others to selfishly obtain what you …

Answers: Day 1
I was all set to go back to writing my blog once a week, especially with how consuming it was for me to write last week’s series on direction. Plus, I’m two days into a 21-day prayer and fasting plan for writers. I’m thinking that’s too much, I shouldn’t write this, and God is thinking …
Direction: Day 5
I am eager to see what direction the Holy Spirit will take this last post. I pray that through this series you have gained more confidence and trust in God as you seek the next step that he has for you. Yesterday, I mentioned there was a scripture about asking for the Holy Spirit, saying …
Direction: Day 4
Only two more days to wrap this up. What treasures we are uncovering! Are you excited to see what’s next? Today we have three more scriptures chock-full of enlightening information. I’m sure you know this first one well, but let’s open our hearts and look at it with new eyes. ‘For I know the plans …
Direction: Day 3
Oh my goodness! This week’s posts on direction are intense. Who knew how many scriptures would apply? If you think I will be able to fathom the depths of this topic in five days, you would be misguided. Even so, I hope you will gain some perspective on the subject and hopefully feel some confidence …
Direction: Day 2

Direction: Day 1
Have you ever prayed for direction? And having prayed, did you wonder how God would answer? Did you hope he would literally give you a sign to point you in the right direction? I am so excited this week to do something different. Together, we will take a look at how God leads us, searching …
The Story of Me (Part Two)
Last week I explored five aspects of our identity according to scripture. Here is a recap: God created me in his image. Genesis 1:26-27God knew me before I was born. Jeremiah 1:5aGod wrote a book about me. Psalm 139:1-3,16God’s works are wonderful, that includes me. Psalm 139:14God delights in me. Zephaniah 3:17 I’m still in …
The Story of Me
I have been inspired this week by all the little nudges from the Holy Spirit through various means—newsletters, songs, scriptures, devotionals, etcetera—to take a look at ME. (Or you.) To allow his words to sink-in deeply. Shall we dive in? 1) GOD CREATED ME IN HIS IMAGE. I’m sure you know the scripture, but you …
Hold On To Hope
My concept of the post I was going to write was different than what I will write today. My title for this post came to me last Friday. I started looking up scripture references on hope, but I wasn’t getting the clear picture. It wasn’t until this morning when I had a Zoom call with …
