Have you ever had one of those days where all you could do was close your eyes and whisper help? I’ve had many of those days in my lifetime. The one thing I can attest to is that when I do, God shows up in some way at some time throughout the day. We are …
Esther was born into the time and place that God ordained. He knew she would grow into being instrumental in saving the people in that space of time in history. It was a choice she made to stay close to God and forfeit saving just herself by running away. The woman who met Jesus at …
How many times do we encounter a person or situation and get the nudging from within to share our story, tell how Jesus saves, and/or about the goodness of God, but don’t follow through? What holds us back? The world’s opinions? Holy Spirit will always speak to us in our spirit with the right way …
The holiday weekend is over. The fireworks that upset my animals till the wee hours are over. Family fun at the lake, BBQ, trail riding, or pool are over. Back to the grind we go. What is not over? The blessing of the freedom that allows all of those things we love. Always remember them. …
