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
The Fool
You know, I can’t say that I have nothing on my mind… I always have some thoughts floating around, it is just sometimes I can’t pin down one thought… It reminds me of Proverbs and how each verse is almost a stand alone thought. There are so many sayings, of course that is what a … Continue reading The Fool
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
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
Late Night
I read somewhere that people shouldn’t talk about their healing process. That recovery should be done quietly. I guess I understand on some levels where that would be beneficial. You don’t discuss your plans, you just do them. When you want to get ahead at work, you do it, you don’t tell everyone what you’re … Continue reading Late Night
By Grace
I was pregnant with my third child. Now, I must admit, I was not the typical joyful pregnant woman. I was mean and hateful. Every day, I fought the urge to hurt myself. I struggled with depression daily. As soon as the baby came, I was fine. But while the child was growing in my … Continue reading By Grace
New Wine
New wine…we ask God to make us new wine; a new life with new meaning, part of His vine, a branch to bring forth new fruit. Oh, but at the pain we face when being made into new wine. We must be crushed in the press. Left to ferment, uncared for by natural eyes. We … Continue reading New Wine
In The Chaos
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11 (KJV) Lord, bring the Gospel Rain to shower on Your children and quench their thirst. Let Your Bread … Continue reading In The Chaos
A Delight
“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast … Continue reading A Delight
