“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Our thoughts are often vain imaginations. We give ourselves far … Continue reading Sure

The Rain
Bring on the rain… Honestly, some days I feel like I need a good cleaning. I feel so dry and dirty…I need that refreshing shower to come and wash away my guilt and shame. It’s been naturally dry in my little area of the world, and I’ve spent many breaths asking for the rain. The … Continue reading The Rain
Surrender
I was reading about Jeremiah warning Zedekiah, telling him what the Lord God had said. How Jeremiah explained that salvation was in surrender, something the king couldn’t understand. Zedekiah didn’t surrender; he stayed in Judah waiting on the siege. And I wondered, do I do the same? Do I try to save face and fear … Continue reading Surrender
Gifts
“A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” Proverbs 18:16 KJV This verse was shared with me…it reminded the person of me. I don’t know why. She said it had something to do with wherever I go, I seem to be the person to go to for advice and answers. … Continue reading Gifts
Helpers
I have a friend who I depend on to listen when I need to talk. She doesn’t have to say or do anything; sometimes, I just need to say some things to get it out of my mind. I also try to pray…continuously… about what I feel the need to say. Like I said, I … Continue reading Helpers
Laziness
I love Proverbs, the Book in the Bible. There is a verse that speaks of the sluggard not plowing because of the cold and when it is time for harvest, he won’t have anything. If you don’t plant, you don’t have anything to grow… I’m not really into plants. Yes, we have a garden, and … Continue reading Laziness
Teach Me
Psalm 143:10 says “...teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.” “...teach me to do thy will…” Do we really want to be taught? Too many times, I’m afraid we want our will… We want His will to be the same … Continue reading Teach Me
Basics
Let’s get back to the basics… Look at the problem and break it down. Get to the root. If you want to get through this, you have to get to the source; get to the foundation. That’s where you start. We all look at the big picture…we see the mountain, not the path or the … Continue reading Basics
Life Lately
It’s been a while since I have written anything. Life was hectic before the storm and since the storm, I feel like I’ve been fighting for life. The storm that hit brought more than just the natural disaster…It brought internal turmoil on every front. I’m going to tell you that God is good. I haven’t … Continue reading Life Lately
As a Last Resort
“Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the humble.” Psalm 10:12 KJV You know, we often think of prayer as a last resort. “Has it come to that” [where prayer is the only thing left to do.] But why do we wait to pray? When prayer is the answer? What more … Continue reading As a Last Resort
