Tending the garden…

“Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking…

Laying out the good towels…

Jesus desires us to sit at the kitchen table and talk to him all night. Can you imagine how awesome that would be? Well, it is still awesome. He is here…in our hearts and anytime we need him, all we need to do is lift our voices and pour out our hearts. He wants to…

40 Days…

I can do all things through Him who gives me strength! That means when the anxiety and the fear from my daily news feed, or the unexpected happens and my “plan” goes flying out the window, I can lean into Him and he will give me His strength!

In two nights, Jupiter and Saturn will align in a “great conjunction”, an event that last happened 400 years ago! Is this God showing us that…

God meant for good…

Don’t let the difficulties of the present, keep you from looking for the future that God has planned for you. Have the faith of Joseph and watch what God does to restore what the enemy has stolen from you.

The study of contentment

So, as you begin your day, put on a spirit of contentment. Look to God for your joy and put your hands to work as you push towards the promise land, not complaining about the obstacles in your path, but with the joy and the presence of the Lord as your guide.
