Beyond Belief

I believe in wearing deodorant, a seatbelt, and my wedding band. I feel these items benefit me and, in some cases, those around me. But, in these instances, if I don’t actually DO these things, my belief is irrelevant. Many … Continue reading

Wednesday Whisper ~ Victory in the Valley

… even IF or even WHEN the worst happens, we are not alone and God has a plan.
Finally, if you’re NOT going through a valley right now, you will or you have. Praise God for the mountains and hills for they strengthen us for the valleys. And remember, the cool, refreshing streams are found in the valleys. Continue reading

From Failed to A+

… no matter how hard we work at trying to be obedient and do things right, we continue to fail. That’s where the good news comes in. God knows we have a sinful nature and could never get a perfect score. That’s why He sent His Son to take the test for us. Not only did Jesus take the test and score perfectly, never giving in to sin, He gives His perfect test score to everyone who believes in Him! Continue reading

Wednesday Whisper ~ What a Day!

I pray that you believe or will choose to believe and accept God’s gift of salvation from the eternal consequences of our disobedience. That one decision determines our eternal destiny. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” ~ John 3:16-17 Continue reading

You Must Love Me!

You must love me
For You gave me today.
I woke up.
I can breathe,
Exhale cares away.

I can sense,
I can see,
Smell jasmine outside,
Hear the hummingbird whizzzz
As I lift windows high.

Yesterday, a rainbow
As hail joined the rain.
Gifts from You, Father,
I praise You again! Continue reading

IF JESUS CAME TODAY

Verse 1:
I believe that Jesus died
I believe He rose again
I believe that He will bring
Those who fall asleep in Him
Soon the Lord Himself will come
Down from heaven, all will see
Like a lightning flash
With a trumpet call
Caught up together
We will meet

Chorus:
If Jesus came today
Would you join Him?
Would you be gathered
By His angels far and wide?
Rise to live with Jesus forever
Witness a heaven and new earth
All made right Continue reading

To You I Call

Praise be to the Lord
For He hears my cry
Sing thanks to the One
Worthy alone
To be magnified

My heart leaps for joy
Makes music and sings
With shouts that extol
Honor to Your Name
The King above all kings Continue reading

Come

Come, the weary and the weak
He said, come, find rest in Me
Not just for today
He’s with you all the way
Just call on Him and His face seek

Come, you of little faith
The chosen whom the Father adores
Do not be afraid
He welcomes and He saves
Come declare Him as your Savior and Lord Continue reading

The Rooster Crowed

And then, the rooster crowed!
And Jesus turned
And I remembered
His every word
He looked straight at me
Heart to broken heart
Could He use me now?
Had I gone too far? Continue reading

Prayer for America ~ 2016

Lord, we plead for our nation
Praying that You would intervene
That You would send peace and calmness
Where there is anger and rage
That You would send patience and hope
Where there is impulsiveness and fear
That You would touch and soften the hearts of people
Who have hardened their hearts toward You and others
That You would open our eyes, ears, and minds
To see, hear, and help those who are in need
To stop focusing on ourselves and reach out to our neighbors
To speak words of encouragement rather than criticism
And replace name-calling and rebellion with grace and love Continue reading
