Waiting on the Lord produces His righteousness
8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. – Isaiah 55:8-9 So, if waiting on the Lord “renews our strength (Isaiah 40:31),” then why […]
Staying the course
Today’s focus really was about staying the course – – – It’s easy to wiggle around, get antsy, and lose focus when things become distractive or when we give in to our frustrations. But the Bible tells us just how we can handle that type of energy and keep our focus on the topic at […]
Being there…
For the past two weeks, we’ve been experiencing 40 Days of Prayer, a time when we collectively gather with other local churches, groups, individuals, and organizations in order to pray for the salvation and needs of our surrounding community. At today’s prayer gathering, my husband and I were asked to lead prayers for those who […]
Reflecting on God’s Goodness
God’s goodness isn’t confined to only BIG, miraculous outcomes. His goodness is attached to everything He puts his hands on.

Recharge your focus
So this morning when I awakened, I asked myself, “What shall I do for myself today?” At first sight, the question may seem a bit odd…why, I can do everything for myself! … ?? But today, this question comes from a different place. A place of discomfort, of just mental exhaustion due to the ongoing […]
Completing the work
…means to complete things in a Spirit of excellence – in a manner of Godly completion. It’s not enough to just “complete your task assignment.” It becomes a work of art, a finished piece, when we work through to Godly completion and to faithfully complete the work that He has begun in you. Philippians 1:6 […]
Give Your Pain and Struggles to the Lord
So the night after writing >this post<, I literally got NO SLEEP… LITERALLY. I had given the cares of the day over to the Lord, done my nightly stretches, read my Bible scriptures and began to drift away into rest. It is 1:24am. Moments later, BAM, I am awake. Body in pain. My nerves and […]
