Heavenly Father, I am deeply saddened and sorry for my lack of faith I have shown You lately. When I get afraid, unsure of what an outcome might be, or worry about something that is totally out of my control, I haven’t given You my full trust and my faith has failed. Recently, my granddaughter […]
As I am still home recovering from a recent surgery, HGTV has been on my television quite often. I have always loved many of the design shows but recently, after watching a lot of them, I found myself becoming envious and coveting what those on the shows had. Whether it was the seemingly perfect family […]
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord , will keep me safe.” (Psalms 4:8) We need to have that passion, assurance and faith in God that everything will be okay, no matter what is going on. God has your back even when we don’t feel Him there. He already knows […]
Proverbs 10:9 We read all through the Bible of how being honest with ourselves and with God is very important. We cannot truly serve the Lord when we cannot be honest with him. We all have dirty little secrets that we plan on taking to our grave but news flash, God knows them all. That’s […]
2 Corinthians 10:12 Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are!

Colossians 3:13 Make allowance for each others faults! What a powerful statement. So in other words “make room, because things will happen”. This means wives will make mistakes , husbands will fail, children will not always live up to expectations, etc. Forgiveness covers a huge spectrum that encompasses many people in many situations. One of the key things to always keep […]
Isaiah 55:8-9, Proverbs 3:5 Recently, I underwent a major surgery which was followed by an infection and other complications. While in the hospital, it seemed that a new issue was constantly arising at every turn. I was getting very discouraged and didn’t know how much more my body could take. But, I made it!! Before […]
Isaiah 49:23 “To trust god in the light is nothing, But trust him in the dark – that is faith” – C.H.Spurgeon. That truly is faith!! How many times in good times do we say, “all is good no worries, I trust in God”; but in the next breath behind the sight of others we are saying to God […]
