Doubt rears its ugly head in almost every aspect of life, and negativity races hard on its heels. I’ve had the opportunity to entertain both of those creatures recently, but have decided to shut the door rather than invite them in. As you may know, we accepted an offer on our house after some back and forth countering. My husband & I were both a bit nervous about it, with the economy the way it is, and stories we’ve heard…
I’ve been thinking lately about visions and dreams…not the type that come to us in the night, but the “God” kind. We’re created with a desire for something bigger than ourselves, something that we can only attain with supernatural help. Sure…we each have a dream. Maybe something we’d like to purchase, or a new job we’re striving for. But I’m talking about a larger vision than material things or our career. What is your purpose? Why did God put you…
So Much to be Thankful For This is the time of year that we typically stop, take a deep breath and try to remember to count our blessings. I’ve been telling myself for several months now….God IS still in control. We’ve had our home on the market off and on for almost two years. We took a step of faith 2 1/2 yrs ago and decided to build a new home, and sell our other one when the new one…
A friend sent me this today via email…it’s not signed, so I can’t give credit to anyone, but it’s worth reading. TEN PREDICTIONS NO MATTER WHO WON THE ELECTION: 1. The Bible will still have all the answers. 2. Prayer will still work. 3. The Holy Spirit will still move. 4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people. 5. There will still be God-anointed preaching. 6. There will still be singing of praise to God. 7. God will…
There is so much concern now about the economy, the results of the election, the state of our nation and the instability of the world. On a more personal level we face so much heartache and fear. Cancer, home foreclosures, job lay-offs, sickness, children going astray, marriages failing. No matter which way we turn we see pain, loss, discouragement, depression. What is a person to do? I’ve faced several of these issues myself…either in my own life, or my extended…
Hymn for the Morning After Courtesy of Ingrid Schlueter…I’ve shortened this by taking out the lines written in German and have left only the English translation. It’s a wonderful hymn and could easily be a prayer or declaration for God’s people. Miralee Nov 05 by Ingrid Schlueter Reading the headlines this morning, a German hymn came to mind so strongly. I was at a loss to translate the text properly because my German is rough, but then found the translation…
We serve a MIGHTY God….while the information below has proven to be true historically, I’m praying that God will turn what SEEMS inevitable toward the miraculous….and shows mercy and grace toward this country. Let’s keep fasting and praying and repenting for America!! About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000…
I wanted to send this article from Huntley Brown – a fabulous concert pianist, a man of God and a black man. I appreciate so much his reasoning for not voting for Obama. I checked it on Snopes, and he did confirm it was his letter—but that there were some parts that he wished had not been shared, as he didn’t intend for it to go public, and I’ve cut those places out of respect for his wishes.

Risking my “comfort zone” My friend and fellow author (only she’s award winning AND a best seller!) posted a very thought provoking blog yesterday. Feel free to leave a comment here, or pop over to Kim’s blog to leave a comment as well, and let her know you noticed it here. Writes of Passage….Kim Vogel Sawyer Warning: I am about to wax political, something I’ve never before done in a public forum. I am not a confrontational person, and I’m…
