Are you a leader, a follower … or both? When God opens a door for you to go through, do you immediately say, “OK, Lord,” or do you hang back in the shadows, waiting and watching others before you jump in yourself to test the waters? I want to bring up again my favorite apostle, … More Playing The Procrastination Game
Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV) says, “LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps.” I read a short story awhile back which spoke of a full bus going down a long, curvy mountain. Suddenly the brakes gave way, of course causing a lot of panic. The bus … More Who’s Driving Your Bus?
Wow, that’s a mouthful, isn’t it? Ambassadorship. But such an interesting word! A few years back I was at a prayer meeting, and one gal said that she had a word from God that she felt she needed to share. Now let me just go on record that when I hear that phrase, sometimes I … More Ambassadorship
I have a problem. Actually I have many problems, but for today I want to focus just on this one: Learning to rest and be content in where God has me. This also includes waiting for God to open doors instead of just holding my nose and jumping into something – and then realizing I’m in waaaay over … More Learning To Rest
Do you feel like you measure up to other Christians? A testimony I like to share is about when I became a new believer in Jesus. I found myself watching mature women at our church to see how I should be acting. The problem was, I didn’t even come close – I was failing miserably! … More It’s OK – Be Unique!
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me like the Lord often opens doors of opportunity when we least expect it. And a lot of times He asks us to do things that we never even thought of! About 3 years ago, the Lord blessed our congregation by allowing us to move into … More Yes, Lord
I was up early on the final day of the retreat. What was God going to say to me today? There were 2 more sessions coming up this morning. The first? “Prayer.” First we were to look up Mark 4:35-41, and focus on our faith. Most of you probably know this passage. It’s about when Jesus … More Speak To Me Lord, Final
In my first post of this series, I set the stage about a women’s retreat I attended back in 2014. The focus? Spending personal time with God – being still in His presence. The first session was on “Why am I here?” After finishing that first session, us gals rejoined in the main lodge, where we were told … More Speak To Me Lord, #2
Do you sometimes have a hard time hearing from God? You mean well as you go to sit before Him, but then your mind starts running away in a different direction! It’s hard at times, isn’t it? Which is why sometimes you need to get away from all your familiar surroundings so you can just … More Speak To Me, Lord
Have you ever found yourself suddenly confronted by someone who wants to know more about the Christian book you’re reading during your lunch break? Or why you seem to have such a sunny demeanor most of the time? Many call them “Divine Appointments” or “Godincidences.” Typically they come on us when we are least expecting … More Divine Appointments
