  • Test the Promise

    Test the Promise

    Diet plans are a dime a dozen. We read about them, we hear about them, and if we want to lose weight, we try them. How do we decide what to try? Speaking for myself, I try what I believe will work. I take the first steps to test the promise. Once I see a […]

    The Book That Can Change Your Life!

    If you are like most people, you would like to change your life. For the better of course! Did you know that in 2016 the U.S. self-help market* was worth 9.9 billion dollars? Self-improvement books are an 800 million dollar business. These markets are growing. We all have things we want to change. Sometimes, we […]

    5 Memory Tips Straight from God’s Word

    Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. Joshua 1:8 (NLT) “You are constantly biting your nails! You need to learn to stop it.” Those were the words of […]

    The First and Final Word

    He spoke the universe into being. The first word! Then, he sent his Son, to have the final word. This month we are going to concentrate on the Word of God.  I have decided that if I’m going to focus on what God says in his word, then it might be a good idea to […]

  • Fearless Joy – Path to Freedom

    Fearless Joy – Path to Freedom

    She lived a life of fearless joy.  After years of fighting, cancer finally ended her life on earth. But what a legacy from one who lived life with joy in the face of daily pain! She feared nothing, not even cancer that sucker punched her at least twice.  She danced through life with a joy that […]

  • Freedom to Choose Love Over Rules

    Freedom to Choose Love Over Rules

    I find it terribly freeing to not be caught up in a list of rules. I will memorize the rules, but then after a while, I just can’t do it! There is something in me that rebels against the constraint. Many of the old testament rules really were created by God to show how powerless […]

  • No Longer Condemned

    No Longer Condemned

    No condemnation. I’ve needed that message for a long time, and chances are I’ll need it again. I’ve been sensitive to criticism my entire life. I’ve endured a lot of it. The criticism has not only come from others but sometimes my self-talk is pretty condemning too, but I’m trying to change that! I grew […]

  • What Freedom Provides

    What Freedom Provides

    This last week I pondered my freedom a great deal. I want to see my freedom as God sees it. Not from a cultural view or from my own selfish perspective. In this portion of the gospel of John, Jesus makes the argument that a slave can never have security. Even a beloved slave can […]

  • True Freedom is Found in Christ

    True Freedom is Found in Christ

    Freedom, that’s what we celebrate as a country here in the U.S. Actually, we celebrate our independence as a country. But for me, as a Christ-follower, there is a freedom that is far more meaningful and much more valuable. I celebrate my freedom in Christ. This freedom looks a little different. In Colossians We are told […]

  • Protected By My Father

    Protected By My Father

    Protected. Secure. Loved. Those are the feelings I remember. My earliest memory of my father is being carried down the street in his arms. He was wearing the suede coat he only wore in cold weather. But I was not cold. I was the treasured daughter of my father. I do not remember where we […]
