Sixteen months. That’s how long it sat there. Day in and day out I walked right past it on my way into work. It had been moved to the front of the building during renovations and had never been given a new home. For the first few weeks I’d see it and think I should …

“What do I know of You Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood but the shore along Your ocean?”…… ( “What do I know of Holy” Addison Road) Standing at the edge of the waves looking as far as I can see out into the teal waters off the Gulf Coast of …

Are U Stable? What do you do when your world is rocked? When your home is destroyed by a tornado, you lose a loved one, or get the call you never wanted to get? Do you freak out? Become completely undone with all your ends frayed? Is your first reaction to wonder why this is …

Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. relax and know that I am God with you. when you desire My will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. …

Robyn is a missionary in an “closed” place. Here is her story of how she is doing. Stand in the gap for her as she builds relationships and seeks to reach people! “We must work with our God in writing the history of our country.”This is what the pastor said yesterday at a prayer service …

Sometimes what has already been said is enough. I’m posting a day of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers. I read it several days ago, but it just keeps coming back to my mind……. “Lord, I will follow Thee; but . . .” Luke 9:61 Supposing God tells you to do something which is …

Have you ever prayed a prayer and in the back of your mind wondered, am I really ready for God to answer this? It’s kind of like when you pray for patience. You’d prefer that it be sprinkled on you like fairy dust rather than going through the inevitable circumstances that are going to present …

Confession, I’m not so thrilled with waiting for the Lord right now! I hate to admit that; especially because I’ve been studying to teach a message in a week, about David, and God keeps me in this one passage that begins, “Wait patiently on the Lord.” (Psalm 40:1) I studied it, dissected it, tied my …

BEST GIFT I GAVE MY DAUGHTER My mother n’law leaned over to my daughter and said, “You’re really going to appreciate that gift your mother gave….” And I interrupted, “When I die!” We all started laughing. My mother n’law said, “Well, that too, but as you get older and your mother gets older, you’re really …

Roller coasters, Ferris wheels, the teacups at Disney… To some this sounds like a fantastically fun way to spend the day. To me this sounds like some kind of horrible torture that would most definitely result in me taking medication for my vertigo. There are days that even though I’m not riding a spinning contraption …

I don’t consider myself to be a skeptic when it comes to God. I believe He exists, He’s powerful, He’s in control – I believe all the spiritual stuff that comes with a life of being taught about God. I’ve got the full “grew up in church, bells and whistles” version. Yet, God keeps bringing me …

I am not a movie buff, and I do not watch much TV. At the request of my husband, I began watching The Book of Eli with him recently. I didn’t finish the movie, but have wanted to sit down and finish it with the teenagers sometime. It really struck me; and of course I …

Are you at peace with yourself? Do we have any idea what that looks like or means? I don’t think I do…Sometime during my prayer and study time this week I felt like God spoke that to my heart… “I called you to be at peace with yourself”. I can say without a doubt that …

So, here I was….heart pounding, blood racing, sweat pooling….It was a nightmare, but I was awake! Ever had a nightmare where you’re giving a speech and realize you forgot to put your pants on? Well, this was one of those. I walked into a class, sat down, and was handed a packet of paper that …
