out of the fog
Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say,“This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21, NLT In my daily travels recently for my current position, I have been blessed by the beautiful scenery offered by the mountainous terrain of the Blue Ridge. However,…

Pleasing Him Above All Others
Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. Galatians 1:10 I have got to get balanced. I said to myself. I had said something of the same nature a number of times. Maybe even felt it once or…

Get Focused on the New
This means that the anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The old life is gone, a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17 The mere fact that I began writing this today, and failed to notice I am repeating a daily verse, is most likely evidence that I have been distracted. Distracted…

Masks of Deception
We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don’t maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don’t twist God’s Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in…

Promises of God: A Reason
Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. Psalm 139:16, NLT “Everything happens for a reason.” A phrase I have had a problem with a time. Two. Three hundred. And some. For me, at times…it seemed like a pat answer usually given…

Everything Happens For a Reason
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28 “Everything happens for a reason.” That phrase at times irritates me. Maybe because it seems to be thrown out as a response to people who are…

In the Meanwhile
The Lord replied, “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed!For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it.” Habakkuk 1:5, NLT For those of you who have been around a while, you know how much I love post-it notes. They have housed prayers in Bibles. They live…

I Won’t Give Up
I went on a decluttering and cleaning spree the last couple weeks. All in an effort to get the Christmas decorations up. In my sorting I came across the vision board I put together at the beginning of the year. One I had put together with pictures and notes of things I had a desire…

He is still working through you
A couple years ago I was on fire. Passionate. I was pretty certain that God had placed a specific calling on my heart. I knew I had heard him, remember the events. The time. The place. Who was around. What He said to me. I had a plan and a purpose. A focus. A desire.…
