Follow the Leader
Wherever you go, there you are. The mindset of a Champion sees endless possibility in every situation. Nothing is by chance!
When you follow God’s lead He will meet your every need. He has a plan for every situation. This means you can relax. He’s got it! ~Nicole
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:26

Beyond Reason
Real faith begins where logic ends.
Have you ever noticed how good we humans are at trying to figure it all out, plan, organize, put all of our ducks in a row? I like to be organized and have a plan, but God taught me a long time ago how to learn to little by little let go of my plans and surrender wholly to His. See, it’s good be to a good steward of what we’ve been entrusted with and this honors and pleases God. But when you’ve done that

Balancing Act
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
This afternoon I saw a woman walking down a sidewalk with a large draw string garbage bag full of stuff. What caught my attention was the bag was very big and full and she was balancing it on her head as she walked! I began to wonder how many years she’d been doing that? Probably all her life and she was seasoned

Cheering On!
“A cheerful heart is good medicine…”
Last night I went with my husband to a fundraising dinner. There were several hundreds of people there, but in the crowd I happened to see a friend from high school. I made my way to him to say hello. This friend lives in town and we run into each other several times a year. As we chatted briefly he introduced me to his friend who was with him. I said hello, but the man was immediately familiar looking to me. I then inquired if

Reasons To Believe
“You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.” Psalm 77:14
Isn’t it beautiful just to know that He can make a miracle out of each one of us? No one ever arrives. We are all a work in continual progress! Have contentment, but never become complacent. We each can only lead others as far as we have overcome ourselves. The more we grow the more we can help others grow as well.
God can use you to be His conduit of Hope for others…

“Summon my heart, O God.
Captivate me in your love.
I am lowly, but flesh and blood.
I cannot go on without you.
I cannot do this without you.”
Do you ever feel like this? I found this scribbled in my devotional book (my scribble) from this date in 2012. It’s ok to feel helpless without God. We should all feel helpless without God.
Give to us, a pure and contrite heart Oh, Lord! You don’t have to do anything without Him! ~Nicole

Shatterproof Faith
“The Lord on high is Mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea.” Psalm 93:4
Shatterproof Faith
The Lord is full of promises. Because his heart is filled with Integrity, He will honor every last one.
Shatterproof Faith
He will hold you through the raging storm and He will hush those very waters with a whisper. He will do it all for you. It matters not the source of your storm-whether it rages against you or from within you. He is your Source to conquer it forevermore.

Blessings…
Allow the fragrance of worship, through the action of prayer, be a pleasing aroma to your soul. May it edify you head to toe. May it fill the void and illuminate every shadowy space in your heart. May it fill you to overflowing with His Heavenly Aroma and Light. Then your heart can smile from within as mine does. He is a most faithful friend. Believe it, then receive it. God’s got your back all day everyday. ~Nicole

Doubt Deflector
Have you seen the movie 300? It’s kind of dark and mystical (which disturbs my spirit), but it has so much merit as well. I could write a lot using analogies from that movie. So, I will right now.
The King and his 300 finest advance against the King of Persia to defend Sparta, Greece. They know they won’t be going home. Their purpose, to so make the Persian King doubt his ability to conquer because of the force of the 300 that when he meets the real army he

Beautifully Broken
“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
Jude 21
Felt lead to send this to you as I was reading in Jude. An excerpt from Cindy Jacobs…highlighting the value of brokenness and humility especially for those who wage war in the heavenly realm.
Gods got you.
You are Beautifully Broken.
