This is a true story my Mammaw (Ruth Chrisman) wrote about a time as a little girl living in the woods with her Momma, my Great Mammy, and her brother and sister. This is a story of my heritage. I know this to be a fact, I am alive and walking and talking with Jesus […]
What is Success
Psalm 90:17 And may the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! When we start school, I guess it is safe to assume, our parents are praying that it will be the start of something successful. I know my parents did. They had dreams […]
I Don’t Understand
It’s okay. He doesn’t expect me to. He just wants me to believe Him and have faith. Isaiah 55:8-11, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts […]

I was fortunate and blessed to be able to attend a conference last October. One of the speakers, to be honest, seemed to bore me when he started out. Then what he did made me think. He had us draw a grid on a piece of paper. And he asked us to write some things […]
Through the Valley
We have all been there. The valley. Sometimes we are there for a long time. Sometimes it feels like a short visit. Sometimes we feel like we’re being used for the kingdom to do good or even great things. Other times, we wonder if God sees us at all. I once heard it described […]

He is in the Waiting
I count myself among the people in my life, friends and family, that are asking God to move in their lives and they are waiting. Everything from people needing surgery and waiting on an opening, marriages that seem to be falling apart, and just being discontent in the way that the world and our country […]
