Devotion on Provision
I write every day and often multiple times a day. I have scratches of ideas on pieces of paper all over the place (the house, my car, my receipts, a big dry erase board in my den). As as writer I am always writing, and sometimes I use a pen. A writer’s mind never stops flowing, but I have not been a daily blogger. I write daily devotionals and words of encouragement that I post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You are welcome to find me there if you would

In The Zone
My eldest son has always been a runner. Most kids when playing like to run, but with him it’s different, something more. It’s just “in him” to run. My husband and I have always encouraged our kids to try new things and find what holds their passions and then pursue it. People tend to think we expect our kids to be “jocks”, but that simply isn’t so. However, we do want our kids to explore their potential and discover who they are for themselves beyond the name on their birth

Unveiled
Last night I was lying down in my room, with headphones in my ears, relaxing and listening to some amazing Kim Walker Smith Worship music. I love her stuff, it evokes through words and music the emotion I feel toward my Savior. I was enjoying my time with God. After a while, I dozed off to sleep, but was awakened by my 3 year old son who was imploring me to wake up. I looked at the time, it was 9:30pm. I realized it was actually time he got to

Elephants Can Be Tasty
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Hold then, firmly, to the Truth and reject condemnation. When we hear convicting Truth, Satan will try and make you feel guilty, like you haven’t measured up. He will heap insults in your own mind and try to make you doubt your own worth, value or ability. This is all a lie from Satan, who is trying to deceive you from receiving what God wants to

Knock On Wood
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
When we first moved in our home I was looking at a catalog with a picture of a family room. I was browsing for design ideas for a custom fireplace mantle. At the time I wasn’t planning to buy, just getting an idea of what I wanted. We have a friend my husband used to coach who now does beautiful wood work

Keep Moving forward
Words are like a permanent marker…they don’t erase very easily and sometimes not at all. I had a difficult 24 hours and what happened in that time was a powerful example of the power of our words.
Less than 24 hours ago I visited with a friend who just returned from an amazing mission trip reaching people with the gospel of Christ on the Mediterranean Coast. She shared also of a powerful step of faith that reached many souls right here at home. She then proceeded to tell me it was

Sigh or Sing?
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
Are you sighing or singing? If you believe the Bible is the spoken word of God and you believe that Jesus is Lord who came bringing Victory, then you have everything you need to be, do, see, become Amazing. So why do you sigh your whole day through? Why do you lament your discomforts, displeasures, and dissatisfactions? Place your focus where it belongs. It is possible to daily pursue a deeper level of who

Decided
We serve a God of No Limits.
Are you blazing new trails or are you following the road of mediocrity? To blaze a new trail is to dare to thrive and be alive with adventure, passion and purpose. To dare to step out into the unknown and explore new territory requires a stoic faith, determination and belief that stirs up from somewhere down deep.
But what if the cost is too high?
That, is part of the thrill and risk, because what if the cost isn’t too high? What if you dare to

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
