Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?” (Matthew 19:16 NIV) Motivating Monday! Motivating Monday! Take a deep breath, repeat after me- “I can, YES, I CAN!” We can step towards Jesus and ask same question as this man in scripture. Will Jesus’s answer be pleasing to hear? Not really, it goes against our screaming flesh desiring to stay unleashed. Like spilt Kool-Aid, staining new white shorts. Do we really believe individuals are happy turning backs to Jesus, refusing to accept His offer to live and not die? This […]

Triumphs: Overcoming Life Experiences W/Success
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NIV) Forward Friday! Forward Friday! Moving forward was the day we walked into a theme park with three kiddos, no diaper bag, no double stroller, total triumph! Stages in life are similar. When our youngest met height requirement for rides we all wanted to ride- sent us to the moon! We were so excited. Now my middle child near completing 7th grade, excitement in his eyes sparkling, almost an […]

Wisdom: Making Choice Between God Vs. World
No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:7,8 NIV) Understanding If rulers and individuals around the world understood today, we would not be seeing milk and honey dry up. God’s wisdom develops with maturing faith. Taking that tiny mustard seed of faith, growing strong in the Lord. Oh, how we think we are strong and so wise, when we’ve failed […]

Truth: Overcome Deception, Don’t Be Deceived
Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created. (James 1:16-18 NIV) Motivating Monday! Motivating Monday! Breathe in- Breathe out. Our God is not dead, He is alive! Parenting is no easy task. Experiencing a child’s ungratefulness singed my heart as we celebrated Easter. While my heart simmered, the Holy Spirit politely nudged memories of […]

Easter Weekend: Increasing Hope Worldwide
He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that,, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having hope of eternal life. (Titus 2:5b-7 NIV) Good Friday Forward Friday! Right into Easter weekend. Good Friday marks the day when God has last word. Interesting conversation I had yesterday ending with words…lost cause. I never want to believe a person, city or country is a lost cause. Satan’s limited power deceives and destroys more hopeless mindsets. Circumstances in our country […]
