What we say and what someone hears often are not the same. I recently received an email with the subject line, “I didn’t mean that.” A lady I follow started her email by saying, “Wait, that’s not what I meant at all.” Responding to the flood of emails she received after her post the week …

awareness.
We must realize, understand, and know that negative situations will occur. Know that we will make a mistake. Know that we will fail at times. Know that things will break or not work. Know that we will overreact. Know that things will sometimes not go as we expect or plan. This is all part of …
comparison.
Last week I shared that I had read “we are not judged by how we compare to others” in my daily devotional. So, God is not judging us by how we compare to others. But then I found myself judging me by how I think I compare to others. How quick we are to judge, …
continued thoughts on transformation.
It seems that sometimes as Christians we tend take in a lot of sermons and possibly lots of Bible studies. But. Are we being changed by the sermons we hear? Are we implementing the lessons learned in the studies we do? Are we going to church on Sundays just to check it off our to-do …

I've been thinking about, Jesus' words in John 15..."remain in life-union with me...your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to me...as you live in union with me …
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 …
Entangled.
I recently ordered a new bathing suit, a bottom and a tankini top. As I was trying it on the other day, I felt entangled by the top. Even though I ordered my normal size, the Lycra was so tight and the inside well I’ll just say it was complicated. The whole experience of trying …
Guiding Scriptures
I love God’s Word. I love reading scripture and discovering new Truths in scripture. I love being encouraged by God’s Word and claiming it as my own. I do not like to say I have a favorite verse because so many of them have guided me at different times in my story. I cling to …
