Table For Two Please!
“You prepare a table for me, even as my enemies watch; you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup.” Psalm 23:5 CJB In the Bible a table represents God’s presence. David is exalting God for His presence, His provision, and His protection. We can imagine ourselves at a grand table in a beautiful Continue reading

Follow the Bubbles
“By trusting, Abraham obeyed, after being called to go out to a place which God would give him as a possession; indeed, he went out without knowing where he was going” Hebrews 11:8 CJB I was in a Bible study discussing how we must trust God at all times. One of my friends, Mel M. Continue reading

“Do not love the world or the things of the world. If someone loves the world, then love for the Father is not in him; because all the things of the world-the desires of the old nature, the desires of the eyes, and the pretensions of life-are not from the Father but from the world.” 1 John 2:15-16
These verses will call most of us out if we’re honest with ourselves. It is hard not to get caught up in the world. Even if we are not arrogant we may still struggle with trying to prove our worth in the eyes of others. In our current society we often feel judged. About everything. Continue reading

“The Lord watches over you , the Lord is your shade at your right hand” Psalms 121:5 NIV
Many times we may feel distant from God. It may be because we are disappointed in the outcome of something we’ve been praying about. It could be a person we have been praying for. Maybe it’s just life that makes us feel like we are mentally isolated. We have to remember that God NEVER moves Continue reading

Jesus called her daughter
“Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over. Mark 5:34 NLT This woman had been bleeding for twelve years. She had sought the help of doctors but her condition worsened. She was broken both physically and financially. She would have been considered unclean and not allowed to be out Continue reading

The word Fortitude as defined by Webster’s is: strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. Fortitude isn’t bad. We want to be strong and face obstacles courageously. With so many hardships in life it is good to get through them and still be standing.
Two Bible verses come to mind when I reflect on this. “Therefore put on the full amour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand” Ephesians 6:13 NIV “Be on guard; stand firm in the faith; be Continue reading
About Me
I love God who loves me. I am a wife and mother. I have spent most of my life keeping God at a distance. Of course He was always right here with me. In a world where we may feel we can never measure up, God tells us “we are fearfully and wonderfully made”. I had so much guilt and shame that I developed from a childhood experience. Because of my guilt and shame I often felt unworthy and sinful. I often tried to do the “ right thing”, but I found it easier to just accept who I thought I was and would always be. Giving my life to Jesus gave me freedom but I held on to my old beliefs far too long. I hope to encourage others to seek God in all things and trust in Him and not the world.
“ For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under legalism but under grace.” Romans 6:14 CJB
