What's Your Name?
So, growing up there weren’t a lot of other “Nicole’s”. I was usually the only one until maybe high school I knew one other. But everywhere I went when I had to give my name, if it was being written down by another, they would try to put an H in it making it “Nichole”. I was frequently correcting people and reminding them there was no H in my name. My last name was even worse. People would slaughter it trying to pronounce it–very long name with lots of vowels–and

Shaken But Not Stirred…
In the region of Northern California those who reside, as I, in the Central Valley, can look toward the coast and see a large mountain called Mount Diablo. To the east we see gorgeous Sierra mountains. The Sierra mountains have been shaking and rattling with earthquakes since last night. Makes me think of the infinite power of God. No matter how ominous a situation may seem, how difficult a job, no matter how large your obstacle or far off your destination may seem when pursuing a goal or a dream…God

Filters…
“The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.” John 7:38
At our old house we had a water purification filter on our kitchen sink. It really did a great job of cleaning the water and enhancing the flavor, but the filter had to be changed after a while. Once the filter was made new, the water tasted clean and looked clear again.
The same is true with our mind, heart & spirit. We need to fix our eyes

Wrapped Up
God has a place prepared for you this day called Beautiful. Wrap yourself in it and he wraps himself around you. Present your requests to Him and let the word of the Lord sink in. He is not too big or busy for you. Even your simplest request is his delight to accomplish for you.
Many years ago, on my journey to learn how to live by faith financially, it was a very lean season and every penny was accounted for. I had been wanting a new coat and was in

With God, “What’s done is done” might not really be done…
All through the Bible we see amazing stories of how someone blew it and then God showed up with a miracle and saw them through it. Who you are is not dependent on what you do! Who you are is a result of to whom you belong to! You’ve been created by a King to do amazing things! You do your part and God does His…
I think there is a lot to be said about God’s willingness to reward our

Shine Your Light
I was reading through some old blogs looking for a specific topic and came across this piece. I had forgotten all about this story of mine. I felt it was a good time to reshare because most people are shopping a bit more for the holidays. Don’t forget to be kind and courteous despite all the extra crowds which can cause annoyance and fatigue. Keep your Peace and launch a smile at everyone you meet! It just might be your “Becky”. Read on a see what I mean…

"Spirit Guide"
Several years ago God put a person in my life and my husband’s life. He lived on the other side of the country. What God unfolded there was quite phenomenal and outside the scope of anything I had seen God do before. I began having dreams and receiving knowledge from God about this person who we had only recently met. I was told things, by the Spirit, that in otherwise had no way of knowing nor would anyone have knowledge to tell me.
This person was very spiritual and believed in

Fortified Hope
Fortified Hope Helps you cope…
Pretty much every packaged food today is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. Whole Foods are full of them naturally. The soul of the earth is rich in minerals that help crops grow and be rich in nutrition. The best fields are allowed to lay fallow every so many years-giving them a season of rest so they can produce their best.
In America this practice isn’t done anymore. Our foods aren’t so nutrient dense as they used to be. Fruit is picked too early and don’t reach

Push Away…
The Push Away Diet Plan
“Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning…For He is gracious and merciful. Slow to anger, and of great kindness.” Joel 2:12-13
There was a woman who receive a remarkable healing in her body. She was so exuberant with joy she wrote her Pastor to tell him the good news. She finished her letter by asking, “Do you think God would do anything about my being overweight?” The Pastor wrote her back and congratulated her on her miracle, and replied to
