When you plan for the future, do you always pray about it first? I try. Sometimes, I realize that I am making plans without asking God first or praying about it. My mind starts wondering and dreaming, and I forget to stop and ask God, is this what you want me to do? When our… Continue reading Rooted In Jesus

God’s Will Reigns
We have the freedom of choice. God let us fulfill the scriptures by crucifying his only son. What makes us so determined to do our own will? Do we think that we can manifest what we want into existence, with sheer determination and force? Jesus died on the cross for us. People mocked him. They… Continue reading God’s Will Reigns
The Truth Shall Make You Free
This morning I was thinking about things that I want to change in myself. I wondered if some of the changes were possible. I opened up to the bible and read “The Truth Shall Make You Free”. At first I wondered, if I was being honest with myself. Am I lying to myself? Maybe I… Continue reading The Truth Shall Make You Free
Don’t Worry About Tomorrow
Good Afternoon. I wrote my last post during reading time. Now, it is recess, so I can write again for a few minutes. This morning we read the March 18 devotional from the book, Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions For Kids, By Sarah Young. It was perfect for today. We are living in a very different time. We have… Continue reading Don’t Worry About Tomorrow
No One Knows the Day or Hour
This morning, I received a phone call from the school. Schools are closed today through next week, because of precautions to protect us from the Cornonavirus. I thought this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. How can something expected catch me off guard? I know Jesus will come back to… Continue reading No One Knows the Day or Hour
Covered By God’s Grace
Good Afternoon! This week has been full of news. Yesterday was Super Tuesday. I went to Costco on Monday, and I was surprised at what I didn't see. There was no toilet paper. I thought they moved the location. Nope. I heard somebody ask, and they were sold out until Wednesday (today). Fears over the… Continue reading Covered By God’s Grace
The Beatitudes
Good Afternoon. It is Fri-yah! The season of Lent began on Wednesday. Easter will be here soon. I grew up Catholic, so I remember reading the Beatitudes often. As we read through Revelations on Wednesday, our Pastor listed 7 of the Beatitudes in The Book of Revelation. I find the Beatitudes in Matthew and Luke,… Continue reading The Beatitudes
How Does God See Us?
Good morning. This morning I was encouraged at the bus stop. There is one child who does not care what anyone thinks about him. He has a good heart, and he is a good friend. He will belt out a song while walking, living in the moment. It makes me smile. Wouldn't it be great… Continue reading How Does God See Us?
God Wants Us To Prosper and Bloom
Good Morning! I just returned from an annual doctor's physical check-up. I know it is something that has to be done. It is a baseline for my health. Why do I always want to cancel it? To be healthy, I have to exercise and eat healthy foods. Sometimes, I am really good and other times… Continue reading God Wants Us To Prosper and Bloom
Comfort During Mourning
Sunday was my mom’s viewing, the funeral was on Monday and yesterday was the burial. I can look at it from the position that I lost both my parents and have no immediate family left who talks to me. But, that is far from the truth. Family and friends showed up in full force. I… Continue reading Comfort During Mourning
