Mercy

We think we have more power than we do.  I know I do… I blame myself for so much… Not being the Mother I should have been… Pushing my children away because of how I speak… But my prayer has always been that the Lord would place my children in the path He has prepared … Continue reading Mercy

Face It

It’s hard to face our fears.  It’s hard to stand up when we’re under scrutiny.  But sometimes, you just need to face it.  When Saul was on the road to Damascus, he saw a bright light. I’m sure he tried to turn away from it, but he was blinded. The men with him heard a … Continue reading Face It

“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭2‬:‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Maybe I’m the only one, but I don’t think I could forget my wedding day. There are always little things that stick out in your mind on a day like that.  Whether … Continue reading Forgetful

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

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
