I have the PEACE of the Lord!
Say it: “I have the peace of the Lord!” This is more than motivational. This is a statement of impact, of value, and of truth. This means no matter the distraction, discomfort, or circumstance, God is with us. In all of our going and doing, it is easy for us to become weighted down with […]
A Prayer of Relief

Experiencing the Happiness of Life
Today was a quiet day, yet everything that occurred within was so meaningful and valuable. It was a time to experience the happiness that God gives us in this life. When God gives us unique experiences, we should take the time to explore them with Him. And as we explore, we are able to realize […]
Seeing God’s Light
I often get up and enjoy God’s beautiful sunrise in the morning, and in the evening watching the ombre of the sky’s beautiful sunset has been a welcome Godly invitation. The Lord’s righteous sunlight presented itself in so many ways throughout our home today: in the morning through the blinds over coffee; midday through the […]
Following God’s direction for your best benefit
