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

Forgetful
“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
The Dark
It’s almost like I can’t breathe This feeling suffocating me A darkness surrounding me Caressing and enveloping me. I can’t see it, but I know This grip won’t let go, Elusive yet steady hold, Willing me to lose control. Just give up, give in Let the darkness win, There’s no rest when This fight doesn’t … Continue reading The Dark
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
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
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
