Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Family, I'm short on words today. I have been in a spirit of Gratefulness all week. Just thinking about all the goodness God has shown to me. I've endured some really, really hard times in 2017 (like many of you have as well). Some that could have really broken me spiritually as well as emotionally. But two things have been very clear to me in this process and I've had to find the (sometimes impossible) strength to stand on it. This week I've had to add one more scripture to it. If God Is For Me..... WHO Can Ever Be Against Me?  Romans 8:31 My Old Self Has Been Crucified With Christ. It is no longer I who lives, But Christ Who Lives In Me.   Galatians 2:20 ...and my new one.. God Causes All Things Work Together For Me.  Romans 8:28 No matter what we have gone through in this year, God has always been there to pick us up, dust us off, and tell us "Its ok baby, I'll fix that, you try it again". No matter if the mess I found myself in was m

Faith That Believes and Moves

Hi Family! So i'm stuck in those same scriptures from my last post and something else struck me. I figured since I shared the first part, I should complete the revelation that I received. So, you'll have to catch yourself up by reading yesterdays post which was centered on 2 Kings 4:8-17. Now i'm going to give you a visual of what the Lord showed me through verses 18-24.  Yesterday we talked about the woman. What I felt from her actions and her reactions. Just finding how it seems that she was living her life of faith.  In these verses, God was having me focus on the husband. His actions, reactions and lackadaisical action. Here are the verses: 18 One day when her child was older, he went out to help his father, who was working with the harvesters.  19 Suddenly he cried out, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother.” 20 So the servant took him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But around noontime

Silent Faith

Hi Family! I've had a story on my heart ALLLLLL day. And seeing that my day was so busy playing transport for the kids to get to their respective morning places (most people call this PARENTING LOL) I had lots of time to think of the small details of the story. But since I've been home, I've been really reading and studying this story. It's the story of the Shunnamite Woman. You can find the story in 2 Kings 4:8-37. But my focus was at the beginning of her story. Just verses 8-17. Here is what it says: 8 One day Elisha went to the town of Shunem. A wealthy woman lived there, and she urged him to come to her home for a meal. After that, whenever he passed that way, he would stop there for something to eat. 9 She said to her husband, “I am sure this man who stops in from time to time is a holy man of God. 10 Let’s build a small room for him on the roof and furnish it with a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp. Then he will have a place to stay whenever he comes by.”

Peace That Disturbs

Hi Family! I was recently in a situation where someone was a little "excited" about something going on. And when they brought the situation to me, they actually ran into my Peace. You see, in that moment I heard the situation. I heard the frustration. But there was not a single thing that I could do about it. So I acknowledged it and moved on with what I was doing. You see, there comes a point in your life when you realize that you can't "react" to every single thing that comes to you. Well.... you do react, but NOT EVERYTHING warrants a negatively excited reaction. Not everything demands for me to fuss and be frustrated and argue and be upset. Some things I can't do anything about. And it does not mean that I don't care at that point. I just take on the mentality of "It Is What It Is" or "Gods Going To Have To Handle This One". What else can I do when I can't do anything? Pray. We can all always pray.  Now, i titled t
