Beguiled!

A great amount of praying and more praying went into this post before any writing took place. Even in the night watches when sleep expired, a prayer for clarity was made. When God places a truth upon your heart you can either repress it or say, “yes Lord, now please give me the words from … Continue reading Beguiled!

A WORD of explanation!

Often, we open our mouths and speak words without thinking. And sadly, it often results in predicaments that need further explanation. Instead, God’s desire is for our hearts to align with His and out of the overflow of the heart come words of life! “A good person produces good things from the treasury of a … Continue reading A WORD of explanation!

SAVED FROM A TETTER-TOTTERING HALO

My closest companion is without a doubt my bifocals; without them I cannot read a lick! When not housed on the bridge of my nose, they are placed insecurely on the crown of my head.

Yet I still find myself wrestling with the outcome. Have you experienced trying to go back to sleep with a … Continue reading Pick and Choose!

An Unquenchable Joy

For years, I was a prisoner to my circumstances. Even though as a child I trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and my eternal state was settled, I lived in defeat more than victory. My joy was stolen whenever something hard came along. And the sad, sad part was, I always felt powerless … Continue reading An Unquenchable Joy

I love a Good Rocker!

You know I love a good rocker. I could just sit and rock away time.

I am so thankful He chose to … Continue reading I love a Good Rocker!
