If I were to offer you a plate of rocks to chew and eat, it probably wouldn’t seem very appetizing. If I put a plate of your favorite food next to the rocks, and told you to choose which you wanted to eat, the choice would be easy.
Scripturally, that is what God has done. He […]
Today I found the key. The real irony is that I’ve had it for most of my life. This morning, during my quiet time (I’m doing two COMPLETELY different studies) I read that the key is a personal relationship with God. Well, duh!
Every successful person through out the bible, from Cain to Moses to Abraham […]
Jesus said that in order to follow Him I have to hate my family. This has been on my heart a lot in the last few days. Hate is a hard word to swallow, especially when it comes to family.
A quick word review finds us looking at the Greek word “miseo, misos” and the very […]
There is only one way to know what God wants for my life. There is only one way to hear His voice and understand his directions. There is only one way to love, trust, and obey the Father.

There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t wonder what God had planned. While some things seemed simple – mother and wife – others have been one giant road block after another – writing, teaching, and speaking. Today was the first day that I realized it’s not about the “big plan.”

- does her husband good
- […]
If you want to get to know someone then the only way that is going to happen is to spend time with them. There is no method that you can follow or plan of action that will help you to know every person you come in contact with because every person is different.
My oldest son […]
The other day it seemed like the whole world had set out to make me late. Every car I got stuck behind was going 15 miles UNDER the speed limit. Every line was long and the check out person was slow. I spent thirty minutes in one store getting all the household products on my […]
Every habit I have was formed with one simple choice. Each day, I must choose to do what is right until that choice becomes a lifestyle. I read that concept this morning in “The Frazzled Female” by Cindi Wood. It struck me more than anything else I have dealt with this week.
It is just one […]
Don’t waste your prayers. So often we just throw up our prayers at God while our head hits the pillow at night or when we are in the heat of the moment. We don’t pay attention to our own prayers, and can’t be expected to see when God answers what we don’t even remember asking.
It’s […]
