A Forge At 2:37 am on October 28, 2024, I was awakened by the words “A Forge”. I quickly got up to write these words and as I was walking, I heard more, “A Forge is coming, press through.” While waiting for more interpretation of what the Lord was saying, I heard in my Spirit, “When does a light get the brightest? In the dark.” I received nothing more and I did not want to rely on my emotions, for…..
I Must Tell Jesus! I knew it was time to write a monthly blog and nothing in particular was on my heart, yet so much was. Suddenly I started singing the song, “I Must Tell Jesus” and I ran to get the hymn book for the verses. I started exclaiming, “YES, that is the answer for all the people that are on my heart today. They must tell JESUS their troubles, they must tell JESUS what is on their hearts…..
Unchartered Territory It was an amazing opportunity for our granddaughter to snorkel in the Hawaiian Islands this year. The trip to Hawaii was a tremendous blessing from the start, we were there for a family wedding with our granddaughter participating as a flower girl. While watching our granddaughter snorkel in different areas of The Island with ease and no fear, the term “Unchartered Territory” came to my mind. We could go in many directions thinking of this title. For instance:…..
What Choices Are You Making? There are many choices to be made in this life, so this is a beneficial question to ask yourself: “What Choices Are You Making” today? Our choices shape our future and can take us in many directions. Our choices affect us and those around us, those we love. It is most important to keep all this in mind. My husband recently traveled through airports from the East to the West Coast. Throughout his journey, he…..
Our daughter took this photo on a recent trip and as soon as I saw it, I heard, “What Shadow Are You Producing?”. Of course, it reminded me of Peter’s shadow in Acts. Acts 5:14-16ESV – 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of…..
Jesus Loves This Hot Mess When I found this little sign “Jesus Loves This Hot Mess” recently, I quickly snatched it to purchase for myself. For many times I have wondered, “Why God do you continue to contend with me?” I have talked with enough people to know I am not alone in questioning God in this manner. But we realize that God sees our destiny, He knows the outcome of who we are becoming, and we see the Holy…..
Wasted Opportunities What do you think about when you hear the words “Wasted Opportunities”? My mind automatically turns to regret, it reminds me of the times I “should have”. The following scenarios are just a couple of lessons I have learned about wasted opportunities, times I wish I could turn the clock back and have a redo for. Though I have a boatload to choose from, I pray these will touch hearts for everyday life, for those who desire to…..
The Message of the Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18 – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. The message of the cross seems to be different for many of us today. To those who have been saved by the cross of Jesus Christ, it means everything. It is our salvation, our hope, it is life eternal. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He…..
God’s Love Too often we take the simple things of God for granted, like HIS LOVE! We have been told He loves us, and some of us have recognized His love, but do we allow ourselves time to experience His love? No one is exempt from this question; we all get too busy at times to just “be still” in His presence, but thank God for His mercy because He always meets us when we come before Him! So, let…..
A Supernatural Faith Have you ever found yourself going through so many trials and not understanding why? Yet, you find the strength to keep moving forward. This makes me think of the young lady Mary, whom we read about in the Christmas story. Mary was ready to start her life, excited to marry Joseph; but all her dreams and goals were put on hold, or completely changed. I am sure that raising a child at her young age was not…..
