Our Destiny

Romans 8:29 (Msg) “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.” ― William Jennings Bryan.   Many times I find myself through my life wondering what is my true destiny, what am I supposed to do […]

True Sacrifice

“I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer. But I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens, for all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird on the mountains, […]

Small Beginnings

Zechariah 4:8-10 As I was studying this passage this week, it reminded me of this ministry, Simply God 101. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit in 2012, I started texting about 40 friends once a week to share Gods word; now 4 years later the list of people that receive Simply God texts are […]

Well Done?

Matthew 25:23 One of my favorite Christian speakers is Joyce Meyers. I saw her in person a couple times in the last few years. I think I like her so much because she is so real and authentic. She doesn’t sugar coat what God expects from us. I was listening to her not long ago […]

God GPS

Psalm 25:5 It wasn’t long ago I had a couple of my grand kids in the car with me. They are always laughing about me getting lost easily whenever we go anywhere. It has become a family joke so much that my nephew gave me a GPS for Christmas this past year. I have used […]

Real Friendship

Proverbs 27:17 Have you ever had that one true friend that no matter how long time has passed by, you can still reconnect and it’s like you were never apart? You know each other’s flaws, downfalls and blemishes and you still love unconditionally? You may have disagreements, even get crabby with each other, but at […]

Eternal Riches

Proverbs 22:1-11 How do you define wealth? How does God? First, God’s definition of “wealth” isn’t the same as the world’s definition. King Solomon was surely wealthy in our terms, but he soon realized that God’s inheritance isn’t about quarterly dividends, accelerated land accumulation or a vast collection of chariots and horses. Rather, it is […]

Just Flourish

Just Flourish

With springtime in the air, my friend and I were chatting about the hardiness of some flowers in the beginning and how frost can damage them. She proceeded to tell me a story about a rosebush she had received as a gift last Mother’s day. The bush had actually gotten run over by her father’s […]

Never Let Go

Isaiah 41:10,13 In the song “You are Able” by  Travis Ryan, the first verse states “There’s a peace. There’s a rest. I have surely known. In defeat, in distress, an anchor for my soul.” Then the chorus goes on to say “You are able more than able, to lift my weary soul. You are able […]

You’re covered

Romans 8:33,34 We all go through bouts of guilt; but we have to understand good guilt and bad. Max Lucado says it best, “God uses appropriate doses of guilt to awaken us to sin. His guilt brings enough regret to change us. Satan’s guilt, on the other hand, brings enough regret to enslave us. Don’t […]
