Sometimes when bad things happen, we wonder how God could let it happen to us. I am not talking about death. Death was never in God’s original plan for us. Grief is indescribable and can be a very long journey. I am talking about things that happen in life, like losing a job. Instead of… Continue reading I Will Not Be Shaken With God On My Side

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
Trust in God’s Timing
This morning it is raining in Virginia. It started raining last night, as the sky rumbled and growled. Hurricane Isaias is making its way down the coast.

When will we go back… Continue reading Trust in God’s Timing

Or, on the other side, do you look at other Christians and think wow, I can't believe all the things wrong with them, how can they call themselves Christians? I am probably in the latter… Continue reading Only One Standard Matters

When I am listening to the Lord, I have to slow down, pray and wait and move forward taking steps, not sure where… Continue reading Trusting God with the Outcome
Pray Your Worries Away
I have been reading the bible each morning. It so easy to find an excuse not to read the bible or not to exercise, and I am guilty on both counts. After I battle all the excuses, and exercise, I feel great for the rest of the day. I have more energy and a positive… Continue reading Pray Your Worries Away
