He Will Rise For You☀️
Every morning you have confidence that the sun will rise. It has risen every morning since the beginning of time. Because of this constant you have probably never doubted once and you’ve planned your day and life around it.
Gods got you every step of the way. He’s with you at the sunrise dawning of a new day. He carries you through until the evening sun fades.
He is a Constant, Sure and Steady Foundation. Plant your feet on him and you won’t lose your balance! You can depend on God just

Stellar Quality
People who enjoy canoeing are familiar with the Outrigger Canoe Club. I’m not sure how many there are, but I am aware of one in Newport Beach, Ca. and Honolulu, Hawaii. We’ve attended canoe events in Orange County and have enjoyed many meals at the club on the beach in the Aloha state. John and I are not members nor do we canoe, but we have friends who do.
If you have never been, the clubs are posh. Prestigious. Expensive. It is an exclusive environment. It’s made special. It is designed

Build It!
“Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:9
If God is ever going to do anything great with your life you must first believe in His power in your life. We can aspire, discipline ourselves, set goals and pursue them all, but without the right foundation it will collect mold. The dream or accomplishment won’t hold.
Noah’s biggest miracle wasn’t building an ark or gathering animals or even life in the first boat. His greatest Miracle was believing God.
Get it down deep. Let it stir

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17
Jacob wrestled with God. He came face to face with His Maker and yet his life was spared. It was there that God gave him a new name, Israel, and he was never the same.
How about you? Are you calling yourself by an old name, old expectations of old habits never to change? Don’t let it be so! God has spoken

Winner's Circle
You are a Winner!
Champion does not mean first place-first prize.
A Champion is an ardent defender of purpose and people. God is your defender. He is ardent, unwavering, in his devotion to humanity. You count on him to do what only he can do and he will do it for you. You can trust him! Many times we SAY we trust him, but then we continue to take care of everything ourself. We believe he will bless our effort and that’s the extent of our trust. But what about trust that

Expect It…
A small child learning to walk may fall 50 times for he or she succeeds to take a handful of steps.
A kid learning to ride their bike may wibble and wobble and even fall over, but they keep getting up.
They say if you fall off of a horse you should get right back on to eradicate any future fear of riding.
How do you know this is not your year? Though we may fall. We may fail, we may not see the fruit of results God has purposed within us, we

Worth The Try
THEY said to not even try it -it would in fact kill you. This didn’t stop Roger Bannister from running the first ever sub-four minute mile. He broke the invisible veil. He pursued the impossible and made it probable that others could do it, too.
What is holding back you? YOU are built strong and to last the test upon you. Move forward, break the invisible barriers before you and gain valuable ground! ~Nicole

A Sure Path
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21
Have you ever gotten lost? Ever had plans fail or the unexpected happen? Of course you have, we all have. Especially if you have children!
Early in my walk with God, I mean when it truly became my faith and my relationship, I was in my twenties and I would lie in bed at night and just talk to Him. I would share my

No Quit Mindset
In our house we have been brain washed, if you will, to believe there are two teams in baseball; the Red Sox or anyone opposing the Yankees. That is what happens when you marry a New Englander. This belief stuck pretty hard in my daughter who is a die hard baseball fan. Last year she was blessed to see the Sox play the Yankees at Fenway. A dream come true for her.
What are your dreams? Most dreams come to pass with God’s hand and some detours, pit stops and roadblocks

Being Least Can Be Great
“…For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Sam. 16:7
God doesn’t think like we do. God doesn’t chose like we chose.
The Bible says to do unto the least of these…because our least is God’s Great.
My husband has been coaching athletes for over 30 years at all levels. One particular athlete who is now retired is an example of God’s Great. First off, she competed in a sport she is not built for. Most women she would
