When I say, “we have more power than we realize, or often choose to tap into, the power of the Holy Spirit living in us helping us!” I am trying to remind us that we have God with us ALL THE TIME. In the good and the bad. In the easy and the hard. And …

Embrace All of It.
I wanted to follow up on yesterday’s post. When I say, “we have more power than we realize, or often choose to tap into, the power of the Holy Spirit living in us helping us! May we believe in His power, ask for His help, and receive His love!” I am trying to remind us …
HOPE.
We all want HOPE. We often hope things will get better. We hope someone will get well. We hope to get a job. We hope to meet someone special. We hope our children will grow up strong and healthy. We hope we get a raise or a bonus. We hope we live a good long …
JOY.
As we enter this Christmas holiday season may we remember, The son of God came with angels broadcasting great JOY. (Luke 2:10) Before leaving the world, Jesus said, “…I have spoken to you, that My JOY may be in you, and that your JOY may be made full.” John 15:11 Jesus arrives in JOY, departs …

We each have our own set of circumstances in life, our own hardships, troubles, trials, challenges, illnesses, weaknesses, struggles, misfortunes, sadness’s, and our own set of joys, pleasures, happiness’s, blessings, strengths, celebrations, and enjoyments. We get to choose how we think about our lives, about every experience. We determine what the circumstances mean by our …
Untangled.
If, or really I should say when, we become entangled which will happen because we are human and the Bible tells us we become easily entangled. But God! Thankfully God will provide us with the tools, patience, and determination we need to become untangled if we ask Him and if we are willing to do …
St. Patrick.
I like St. Patrick’s Day so much. My boys might even tell you it’s my favorite holiday. But maybe not for the reason you may think. St. Patrick was a man who embodied faith, hope, and love. Ten or eleven years ago I read the children’s biography Life of St. Patrick and it changed the …
