Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
I know I can improve in humility, gentleness, patience and love! Hopefully we’re more aware of our shortcomings as we follow Christ more and more. If we’re not realizing this we might just be too full of ourselves and following our own way, not Gods way. God’s way doesn’t leave us lacking. Every day is... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile. I apologize... I've had 2 serious surgeries but I'm much better now and have been contemplating my time working as a pastor in churches for over 22 years.

Where we place our trust says a lot about us, about who we are, and about our character. This verse says, "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." I want to add an exclamation mark at the end when I read it! Chariots... Continue Reading →
Safety, this might be the number one need a woman has: safety and security. God extends to us a safety and security that cannot be found anywhere else. I cannot find this kind of safety in my husband or in buying the car that has the most safety features. I cannot find this in a... Continue Reading →
Nicodemus asked Jesus a question: How can someone be born again? How can someone have new life? I too felt a need for a rebirth in my life as I became weary of living my own way. My heart was unsettled. I felt like I was tossed back and forth by the wind. I had... Continue Reading →
