More than enough…
Who sets the mountains in there place? God did, by the Power of His Love.
Who caused the tide to rise and the waves to roll? God did, by the Power of His Love.
With His Love He spoke Creation to exist. He balances the universe with a whisper and by His kiss we have access to His Presence, Care and Touch.
Nobody else can Love you like that.
Today is a NEW DAY and I know that for you, God’s got a lot to say and do to move mountains and obstacles for

Grit!
“I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage.” Joshua 1:5-6
Be strong all day long! God is a God of Awesome Wonder, Spectacular Light and He brings Vibrance to our Life. He long to lavish His people with blessing. He longs to see us hungry for Him, strong in Him and full of a kind of grit that gives us Steele-toed devotion to Him.
Tenacity.
How do we get that kind of tenacity? We have to press in. Never quit. Keep our eye on the prize (promise

No Limits!
“The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.” Psalm 145:13
…One of my all time favorite passages. Can you not feel the Peace, the Comfort, the Promise of His Faithfulness? One of the saddest things I observe in others is when they give up on their own promises from God. Don’t give up. Don’t spend your time pondering the shortcomings of the past. Allowing your mind to fear disappointment, even if it has been a reality with sting upon your life, it isn’t going

G'Day Mate!
“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing so to me.” Matt. 25:40
One of the things I loved about the people of Australia when we were there was their attitude. Attitude is a powerful measuring rod on many levels. Australians, or the ones I encountered anyway, were smart, educated, successful, accomplished, achievers, but they possessed an incredibly laid back and casual attitude about themselves. It was as though their demeanor

Soul Thirst
Your soul has thirst…
Your soul is thirsty and it longs for a drink. What will you feed it? What will you feast upon?
You crave something deeper, something that will satisfy you, but you ponder….
You squander your time and your determination fades.
What will you look for? What will you seek? What will you say?
You can feast your thirst on idleness and waste your life away.
You can feast your thirst on the flesh and come up withered and frail, drinking to your hearts content, only your heart never finds contentment or rest.
You

Don't You Know?
Don’t you know?
He is the One who set the stars and the sun and told them where to stand.
He is the One who holds the globe in the palm of His hand.
He is the One who set the sun ablaze and set the tides to roll.
He is the One who spoke and splashed the waves and told history how to unfold.
He is the One who did all of these things.
He wielded His Hand of Creativity and Love.
He took the time to Create and find a place for you

Sounds Sticky To Me!
“No mountain too high
No valley too low
That You cannot overcome” (Reign Forever lyrics)
There is no place you can go, that the Lord does not know, because no matter how you feel, no matter where you have been, no matter your situations in life, He has traveled the road with you, all along.
Have you ever stepped in gum? I know you have. Have you ever stepped in gum on the pavement on a hot summer day? The gums been there a bit, but the heat of the day and the pavement

These Are the Wonder Years…
These truly are the “Wonder Years”…
These are the words that crossed through my mind as I was glancing at some residual homework my son had discarded to the kitchen table this week. He had printed some photos for school and one sheet of non- photo quality paper had slipped through. I looked at the pictures printed upon it, from about 5 years past. My son had grown so much, and I too quickly am well beyond the years of his middle childhood. How beautiful, each day, a gift from above

Effortless Beauty
“Led in with joy and gladness, they enter the palace of the king.”
Psalm 45:15
One of the things I adore about writing is the close friendship I feel with my Heavenly Father. It is like meeting with a friend for a meal…no kids, no spouses, no distractions, just us. My favorite place to be is sitting at my King’s feet and listening as He tells me what to speak. That’s how I woke this morning. There was a stirring in my heart and my pen was set to write.

Vision Caster
“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18
Everyone needs some sort of vision for their life. Without it, we meander without meaning, joy or fulfillment through life. Without a vision of the heart we become subject to the vision of another. There is a saying that goes (paraphrased), “If you don’t work toward your dreams then someone else will recruit you to work for theirs.”
When we have a vision is must be crystal clear in our own mind’s eye. The more vividly the vision resides in our mind’s
