Have you ever been in a situation that was unfair? I have been stewing about an incident that was not fair. Two days later, I started praying that God bless those involved. I remembered the scripture verses "do not avenge yourselves". Let the Lord repay those who did wrong. I prayed that God would bring… Continue reading Pray When Life Feels Unfair

Rest and a Quiet Life
In my Tuesday bible study, we are reading through Paul's epistles. It struck me that he said in each of the last three letters we read, to lead a quiet life. I don't think it means to live a silent life. I think it means to live a life in moderation. I think Paul was… Continue reading Rest and a Quiet Life
Everyone Can Change
Right now, I am struggling. My mom has stage 4 cancer. She started radiation and a chemo pill last Friday. The prognosis for Glioblastoma is two years at the most with surgery, chemo pills and radiation. One day, I think that I accept it, and I am at peace. The next day, I feel overwhelming… Continue reading Everyone Can Change

I try and control the situation, which just gets worse. Then, finally, I truly let go… Continue reading An Outcome Beyond Our Imagination
God is Sovereign
What does the word sovereign mean? It means to have supreme power. God has supreme power over the universe. God decides. Not you. Not me. Only one person determines the outcome. God. Our God in heaven can do whatever he pleases. But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. --Psalm 115:3 (NKJV).… Continue reading God is Sovereign
Live a Life Worthy of God
This morning, it is chilly. The sky is dark and gloomy, as rain clouds form. It has been a dry month. We need the rain. Sometimes, you need rain to appreciate the rainbows and sunshine. Difficult times in our lives can be, well, difficult. These are the times that I really turn toward God. I… Continue reading Live a Life Worthy of God
Faith: Doubt In Your Heart
Do you believe that whatever you ask for in prayer you will receive? I have to admit, sometimes I feel like what I am asking for is more like a dream that won't really come true...until it does. In the bible, Jesus said that if you believe, without any doubts in your heart, these things… Continue reading Faith: Doubt In Your Heart
