Protected. Worthy. Loved.

These are the words that penetrate my mind first thing this morning. What a blessing because these are all words of special significance to me.

Protected.

“But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.“ Psalm 5:11

Most people want to feel safe, but I think women especially have a need for this kind of security. I know I do. When we think of protection I think most

Don’t be Overwhelmed and take Courage

A step forward can be great gain when we use it to give Glory to His Name.

You’re steps are Chosen.

His Path for you clear.

He has seen each one before you ever took one.

Think about that.

Have confidence in that!

You can only bubble over with the Hope and Glory knowing you will have a Banner finish to this Year!

No matter what you face today–it is building in you a foundation for brighter days…if you will just keep going!

Hope has an anthem and it

Did you know?

The Bible is mostly poetry? Nearly fifty percent of it! This is a fact I learned just yesterday and it tickled my heart. Because when the Spirit speaks to me and when He crowds my pen and I rend, something poetic as a prose or rhyme comes to my mind every time. I love this because He has always versed my pen and courted my heart with smoothness of words. It’s like salve to my soul.
He knows my heart and my love language.

God will speak to you if

When loves walks in you can feel it…

Unfortunately only women will able to relate to this, but if you’ve ever been pregnant you know what I mean. Once the baby in gestation gets to around the 16 weeks you may begin to feel the baby move. As the baby grows the feelings get stronger and you can literally discern the shape of the baby. My oldest had her toes wrapped around my ribs for the entire third trimester and I could caress the heel of her foot quite discernibly. I

There are few things in life quite like the glory of friendship.

My entire life I have more negative female experiences than positive ones. Perhaps this isn’t true, it is better to declare that I have had more than my fair share of the extreme in this department.

As a youth I was the “outsider” in my church youth group. At school I had girlfriends I hung around with, had common clubs or classes with, but it wasn’t uncommon for them to behave “uniquely” toward me. If not at first–eventually. But there

I really think this quote is cute. I’m not a golfer (yet), but I’ve been a few times and I kind of think it’s a hobby I could learn and be challenged and enjoy. But for now it’s a someday thing because I’m in the thick of paying for kids schooling and sports and some other things I’m working on…

My Dad is a golfer. Has been for years.

“In the same way, count yourself dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:11-12

Lord, bless us each with the contentment that surpasses understanding. Let the Peace I have found in each moment , that wellspring of Hope I’ve tapped into, flow like a fountain well allowing all who are thirsty and dry and in need of refreshment, to drink liberally from my inkwell. Let them get tanked, drenched, saturated, in the most Glorious of ways. Amen.

One of the best things you can do in a dry

God knows and He has a plan.

When you feel all your everything has run out, that is when it’s time to shout about how good your God is!

When you’ve exhausted all hope, that is when you go to a new level of extraordinary faith obedience and trust for provision. Our faith blossoms to new levels as we watch God dig deep and pull out miracles.

He won’t be losing any sleep over our trials, so we shouldn’t either.

What is it your heart aches or yearns for? God wants you to, hand

Poetic Prose of Adoration. Penned early a.m., Monday 3/25/19

I confess, I love writing, but the prose are my favorite. They bleed more of the essence of me, heart and soul and my affections released for the One worthy to be Adored. I named this one Canopy though I mention the word not once with the prose of my pen.

Canopy because of what it represents. A Canopy of Hope is an effective covering for the heart. Blessed, Refreshed, Replenished, Loved…

all create a Haven…

God bless your heart today with Valor to Conquer

Declare it!

My God is Good! My God is Faithful! My God is both Just and Merciful simultaneously. My God is a Warrior. My God is Endearing. My God Prevails.

He equips every human who seeks His face with the ability to cope through difficult circumstances. My God has a special affection for humanity. He rejoices
