I remember sitting once in the stunned silence of knowing and hearing the words: breast cancer. There are words that we hear that can break our souls right in two. There are situations that seem to take away from us everything that we knew as normal and your life is just shattered into a million … More YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED
If you think about it, GOD in HIS infinite wisdom has HIS way with us, over and over again in our lifetimes. And often it is at the point of desperation where this happens……..it’s a coming to the end of ourselves, when we just can’t “do this” anymore. I enjoyed dinner last night with a … More A LITTLE DESPERATE AND A LOT MORE WHOLE
In our lives, GOD often closes a door only to open another one for us. I believe this is due to the fact that HIS plans are always better than our own. ISAIAH 55: 8-9 “FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NOR ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, SAYS THE LORD. FOR AS THE HEAVENS … More THE CHALLENGE OF A BLOCKED DOOR
Recently I read in Max Lucado’s devotional book: GOD IS WITH YOU EVERY DAY the following: DON’T MEASURE YOUR LIFE BY YOUR ABILITY; MEASURE IT BY GOD’S. Measure your ability with the world’s and you will fall short. Measure your ability by GOD and your ability is endless and even powerful! GOD completes us where … More HOW WE SHOULD MEASURE
As much as we are different, we are the same. We all go through seasons of life and no matter the circumstances, GOD has something for all. The key word here is……..all.

Problem solving………we all seem to do this daily. When one problem ends, another begins. But what you do with the problem will either overwhelm you or you will find a peace with it, even if there isn’t a solution right away. We all wish problems would go away, never having to deal with another, but … More WHERE TO PLACE THE PROBLEM
The world give us an allusion of control. We may think we have things under our control, but we don’t. And often it doesn’t take much for GOD to get our attention in this matter. Be still long enough today to hear HIS voice for you and to see HIM working around you, because the … More CHRIST OVER CONTROL
I’ve always kinda liked diagonals. When I learned back in geometry class that the shortest line between two points was a diagonal, I was hooked on the idea. To this day I still like and use the concept. I enjoy placing a piece of furniture on a diagonal in a corner. It just looks … More DIAGONALS
GOD WOKE YOU UP THIS MORNING……do you realize that? Just ponder that thought this Sunday. Our Sundays are a day of worship to the LORD. But there are some people who did not wake today……some went to sleep the night before never to wake again. So……..HIS waking you is a blessing, not only to you … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
