Shatterproof Love
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.” Phil. 4:4-5
The love of God is Unbreakable, Unshakable, Undeniable and very recognizable. You can trust Him! Because He never lets go. No matter what you’ve been through, are going through or are going to…God will love you through. You can trust Him to wrap himself around you with Sovereign Care and then He just stays there. His love for you is Shatterproof! ~Nicole

Stay In Faith For Goodness Sake!
“God has not called me to be successful. God has called me to be faithful.” Mother Teresa
Have you ever had something in your life that you know was by Design of your Heavenly Father, but you failed to understand why? I have had times found myself wondering why and asking God what He wanted me to learn in the situation. Sometimes it’s about the growth in us, and sometimes our faithfulness is for the growth in others. But for those times when you are just at a loss, keep

With A Little Love We Overcome
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
People shape their perceptions by their experiences with a mix of their temperament/personality type added in. Sometimes a difficult experience can leave an unguarded area wide open to fear. Simple example, your in a severe car accident and once you are back in the road you are extremely aware of the possibility of another accident. Your home is robbed

Oil of Gladness
“You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, had anointed you with the oil of gladness…” Psalm 45:7
It’s been greatly in my heart to devote time writing on the theme of Joy. Joy is a somewhat elusive concept for many to grasp. It has a presence all its own. It’s not really happiness, though closely associated. It’s not really contentment, but possesses contentment. It’s not really enthusiasm, though it expresses the mannerism of enthusiasm.
Several years ago I was in a church service for a special speaker who was

Trustworthy
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” Psalm 20:7
This is one of the first verses I learned when I was first discipled in Christ. It has been a favorite ever since. I’ve felt it surging in me for days, but didn’t know the direction God wanted me to take. So I waited. I waited attentively for His lead. Sometimes God will use our senses, situations, interactions or maybe even things that are said to us to quicken our

Heavenly Rays
“Now I commit you to God and the word of His Grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” Acts 20:32
The weather here has been grey and foggy much of the month, but the sun has peeked out with glory this week! At one point I found myself praying for people who live in the PNW more. I don’t know how they go so long without the sun! There is something magnificent about the sun’s rays…they heal. A wounded eagle will

Is God Thankful?
Has it ever occurred to you that God is thankful? It’s kind of hard to wrap my head around that. But if He desires us to be full of thanksgiving then we must be filled with gratitude. The deeper we go in gratitude the more we become a reflection of Him. If we are reflecting Him, then thankfulness must be in Him. It is an attribute of His heart. With this, my mind naturally begins to think or realize something astounding and powerful…
God is thankful for you.

That's My God!
“I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying, for He speaks peace in His faithful people.” Psalm 85:8
His wisdom has no measure, His greatness is Infinite. No mind can grasp Him, yet every heart can hold Him.
That’s my God!
He is above all. He is the Bridge for every gap or lack. He is the all time greatest Vision Caster and Dreamer. He is awesome beyond measure.
That’s my God!
He knows all, can do all, Repairer of Broken Walls and Restorer of streets without dwelling. He can take the shaken,

Natural Shine
“Be imitators of God…” Ephesians 5:1-2
I walked into a dark room in my home the other night that had low lighting from a bunch of led light candles. When I walked in I was carrying a small, votive candle that was already lit and I sat it on the counter. I immediately noticed something that shouldn’t have surprised me, but did. The one tiny flame of the candle outshines the light of the many led lights in the room. Why? Because natural light shines brighter than synthetic light. I was
