Stay Strong
To be physically strong, you must do physically strong things.
To be spiritually strong you must do spiritually strong things.
These are both two different things-
yet, they are connected and can be the same thing.
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Eph. 6:11
Never lose your Hope.
Sometimes even when you are trying to do the right thing, wrong things happen. Tis true for everyone. Do not become discouraged in your efforts to do well.
Finish Strong.

Eyes Wide…
“I could do it with my eyes closed”
Have you ever heard this expression or maybe even said it yourself? It implies a certain level of mastery at any given skill, art or ability. It suggests the activity is so second nature to a person they can do it well without even seeing what they are doing. They feel it. They know it. They own it.
How about trusting God?
Trusting God is a bit like doing something with your eyes shut. You can’t always see what He is up to. You

Redeemed
Prayer of Prose
Lord, Sweet and Precious Savior. Water my Garden. Give me moisture from Heaven—for by your Spirit I am refreshed and Renewed. You are the glue that holds me together. You are the fertilizer that nourishes me to the root. You planted seeds of hope in the deepest parts of me. You lead me and caused me to explore and find the floor of my heart—causing me to discover the depths within.
I am quieted by the noise of your waterfall. Cascade over me. I am a Bloom in your

Try, Try & Try Again!
Perseverance is a necessary precursor to anything great…
Here is a historical example of people to be grateful for their ability to dream big and persevere…Orville and Wilbur Wright, the creators of the first airplane.
When these two brothers were boys their father gave them a toy helicopter made of cork, paper and a rubber band. This was their source of inspiration to become the first men to fly for the first time a free, controlled flight by a power-driven airplane. Did you know that Wilbur didn’t even receive his high school

Sparked & Golden Seeds
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

Honor Is Seed
She bowed down with her face to the ground and said, “I am your servant and am ready to serve you and wash the feet of my lord’s servants.” 1 Samuel 16:41
I’ve been reading about the women in the Bible with some friends. Right now I am studying Abigail in particular. I find her fascinating. Her story occupies a brief span of time in the Word, but it is packed with pivotal truth in action that possibly directed the future of King David. I find her to be a source

Fortify
You can’t rush a good thing and God doesn’t manufacture—
He Creates, He Sculpts, He Forages and He Transfigures.
Just as an artist mixes their palate—they know color.
Just as a wine maker is patience with his grapes—He knows flavor.
Just as a Chef creates His cuisine—
He knows aroma.
Just as a builder pay close attention to details and selects the choicest lumber—-He knows stability and longevity.
When it’s been touched by the Masters Hand it leaves a Mark of Grace that cannot be changed.
Hope can only be fortified in Him.
