I don’t know about you, but most days I just don’t feel like a treasured jewel. This morning was one of those days. I have so much to praise God for and reasons to be thankful, yet I still felt down. This morning, I spent time praying and reading the bible. I read the first… Continue reading You Are a Child of God

How Does God See Me?
Satan loves to remind me of all the mistakes that I have made, and I have made a ton of mistakes. I still cringe at all my mistakes, when I was younger. I still make mistakes each day. I sin. I ask God to forgive me and help me to do better each day. I… Continue reading How Does God See Me?
God Always Hears Us
Have you ever kept praying and praying and didn’t get the answer that you wanted? You start to wonder if God is listening or perhaps saying no. God’s timing is always perfect. We may not understand it, but God’s timing fits into his perfect plan for our lives. Sometimes, when everything is going wrong, we… Continue reading God Always Hears Us
You Are Never Alone
Its has been awhile, since I have written a post, exactly 20 days ago. September has flown by. The heat has subsided to cooler, more pleasant temperatures. The first leaves of the season are starting to change color and gently fall from the trees. School started, and I have been busy with my children. It… Continue reading You Are Never Alone
Key to Happiness
This year has been crazy. This school year may be even crazier. Through it all, God is there for us. God is so good. Sometimes, it is good to reflect on all the good things that God has done for us, and hope for the good things yet to come. God has done so much… Continue reading Key to Happiness
God Changes Hearts and Minds
I haven’t posted for awhile. I have been getting ready to go back to school. My kids started 3rd and 5th grades. Where did the time go? When we moved here 5 years ago, my son was starting half day kindergarten and my daughter was starting preschool for a few hours a week. So much… Continue reading God Changes Hearts and Minds
God Will Never Fail Us
This morning I read Galatians. It was written around 50 A.D., which is 1,970 years ago. The prayer could have been written today. God is eternal. God’s goodness reigns over heaven and earth. Our troubles and worries go from generation to generation. We dress differently and technology changes, but evil continues to lurk around earth.… Continue reading God Will Never Fail Us
The Lord Knows Those Who Are His
I have been reflecting on the last year. Honestly, it is like a sad little party. Last August, my mom was diagnosed with a brian tumor and died on Christmas Day. My father had died 5 years earlier on Christmas Eve. Lately, I have been feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I have every right to mourn… Continue reading The Lord Knows Those Who Are His
God Wants Our Hearts
God can select the most unlikely people to do his good works. I am always fascinated by Saul (Paul) in the bible. Saul was a Pharisee. A Pharisee is defined as a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law. Saul was persecuting Christians. Why? It seems… Continue reading God Wants Our Hearts
We Can’t Hide From God
Sometimes you pray, knowing that God will answer your prayer in his perfect timing. The answer may be yes, no or not yet. Or, God may have something better for you. While you wait for the answer, it is easy to doubt yourself. Am I not faithful enough? Have I done something wrong? I am… Continue reading We Can’t Hide From God
