I have never been one to make New Year’s resolutions. I have always tried to avoid making promises I can’t keep! Hahaha! I have, however, always enjoyed the beginning of each new year. I am a nostalgic soul that loves to look back on the memories of the past year, listen to the top music […]
Enough
Sometimes I face difficulties with meal times because I should stop eating when I feel I have had enough. In this life, I often struggle with the feeling that I will never be enough. Once upon a time, I ended a marriage when God whispered to me, “It’s time to leave, Child. That’s […]
Eyes on Jesus
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” -Matthew 14:29-30 I help out with my church’s youth worship team. We try to get them ready […]

Okay, those last few were a bit silly, but don’t you feel that way also? So many roles and responsibilities – and […]
Stand
There is a spiritual battle raging. You can feel it. While you pray, you can feel God’s protection. When faced with something evil, God gifts us with discernment to recognize the evil. I am often brought back to Ephesians chapter six. Verses 10 through 20 describe standing strongly in the Lord and His power against […]
Fruit, Sweet Fruit
I always say, God knew what He was doing when He made fruit. I mean, it’s a wonderful, sweet, refreshing snack full of nutrients for my body. So when the Bible informs me that God wants to make my life and my spirit fruitful, I am all for it! In the 15th chapter of […]
MY TEMPLE. MY RULES.
Nutrition should not be the bane of our existence. Recently, I completed a 21-day devotional with a couple of friends on the Bible App called “Made to Crave.” It is based on the book of the same name by Lysa TerKeurst. A Bible study about dieting is not going to be life-changing for you […]
IN
IN The “in” thing is whatever is fashionable or whatever is being talked about. Memes, videos, mom jeans, music…..we are drawn to what is “IN.” Recently at my church, I heard two different sermons (thanks, Jeff and Dennis!) involving Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Reading […]
