Sometimes our days seem so ordinary, nothing special going on. Sometimes our days seem like a repeat………we get up, go to work, eat, sleep and then repeat the next day and then the next. OUR ORDINARY CAN BE FULL OF WONDER If we refuse to live out our days like they don’t matter, then they … More Oh THE WONDROUS ORDINARY
Only with JESUS can we all be a better version of ourselves. Better than we used to be. The old self is gone and the new is evident to those around us. And don’t we all want this? Don’t we want to be better today and even more so tomorrow…….to be more like JESUS? The … More SAY YES!
If you think about it, GOD in HIS infinite wisdom has HIS way with us, over and over again in our lifetimes.

I love walking and therefore I love any path I find. It’s always a “wonder where this will take me kind of thing.” And so we are all on this path we call life……..some choose it without GOD, others are chosen by GOD to walk alongside HIM. Honestly a life without GOD must be so very … More PATH OF THE JUST
God’s glory can be seen all around us. Never take it all for granted. HE displays HIS hands so we will honor and worship HIM. But it’s our every day self-glory that gets us into trouble. Who is on the throne of our lives? Who comes first? Because in GOD’S plan, it’s not about us, … More SELF-GLORY/GOD’S GLORY
In everything, it doesn’t make any difference because GOD DOES make the difference. Going through trials and tribulations can make or break us. But GOD with us makes all the difference.
