This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:3,4 NIV) Buzzing Forward Friday! I’m still buzzed by Wednesday’s blog. The fact Peter dismissed cultural teachings for God’s vision, opened God’s Word for an entire population of Gentiles. This means unless you are Jewish, that’s you and me. Now, with God’s Word available- what to do. Many say they do not know, it’s hard to be a Christian. Yet, scripture states: His commands are not burdensome. Burdensome So…if God’s commands are […]

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (1 John 1:7 NIV) Viewpoint Forward Friday! Oh, happy day…oh, happy day…when Jesus washed my sins away. We step out of darkness into God’s glorious light. Old self is now new, a child of the most high. King Jesus sitting next to God, interceding as the Holy Spirit is working within. God’s power unified from a heavenly viewpoint. On our end, we tap into God’s power and gear […]

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:14 NIV) Simple Plays A team failing to execute simple plays, will never win a game. Not much different in life. This goes for every level on our journey. Every new maturity level, new skills are necessary. We never stop learning. How are simple plays being executed for you? Winning I like winning. Losing time after time weighs heavy on psyche. The most abled body becomes discouraged after so long. We never want to reach discouragement, then satan is given […]

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13 NIV) Circumstances Motivating Monday! Whatever your circumstance- Paul stated his knowledge of being in need, to have plenty, fed or hungry, have plenty or want, his key was being content in every situation. I am the last person that should write a blog on being content. However, peace I experience now could have been possible during earlier life transitions. Being content takes full trust in God, knowing He is large and in charge. Trust Placing this level of trust in God, releases amazing peace. I see younger mothers […]

Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. (Proverbs 8:34,35 NIV) Imagine… Forward Friday! Watching daily, waiting- reminds me how diligent we seek hot items at Christmas time. Midnight madness finds shoppers racing to items. Imagine this desire transferred over seeking Jesus. Glancing over as I write, three Bibles are within reach. I’m mesmerized, the beauty beheld in each book. Slipping My mind cannot fathom slayings because Bibles are in my possession. Yet, this is reality for brothers and […]

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (Galatians 6:9,10 NIV) Family Family of believers, a beautiful blend of individuals around the world. Why is it- so many leave church with hardened hearts? I mean leave for good. Children raised in church with no desire to further seek a deeper relationship with Jesus. Here I sit with the most joyous heart, leaning […]

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31 NIV) Motivating Monday! Motivating Monday! How has the weather been your way? We’ve had lots of rain this weekend. Floods happening in parts as drought threatens other areas. Our son seeing the movie, San Andreas, led to a discussion concerning potential disasters living on the New Madrid Fault line. Literally, we’re 50 miles north of the epicenter. He’s like- should have thought about this before living on the fault line. Trust me, Jesus and I had many discussions. Disasters […]
